    Lehigh said he was gonna have a busy week at work last week, and he's the one that does all the heavy lifting in these things: checks pairings for repeats, checks distro between pairs, trys to keep the distances we ship manageable, etc. I'm sure we'll be hearing soon.

    Just heard from Lehigh, and he'll be working on this over the weekend, so don't soil your undies yet. And, @newjack is a last minute entry! Welcome to the BIF!

    OK! I was off beering yesterday, so didn't see the message that Lehigh sent me until just now. Pairings are done and we'll be getting them out. Lehigh tried to keep the shipping distances/costs down as much as possible, but with a bunch of you guys clustered on the East coast, and a handful of us spread out across the West, a few of us are going to have long distances to ship. Apologies, but it couldn't be helped. There are some fun pairings though, and I'm looking forward to all the Hints that are to start filling this thread!!! Game on y'all, and happy hunting!!!!!!!!

    OK, I think I've got all the names out. Please reply to me in the "Target" message I sent you with your addy, T-shirt size, glassware preferences, and anything else you want your sender to know. Go get 'em tigers!

    Okay, now that I have semi-official word (no details, just a name) of who my target is, time for hints:

    Starting from a deliberately vague and obtuse standpoint, I can confirm my target resides on Earth and would seem to work there too.

    Anyone who has been around awhile has noticed that I frequently change avatars. There have been some common themes to some of them. One of the the themes is the industry my target works in.

    BTW, since this is about NBS and therefore the goal is getting beer you've never had, if you have things listed in your "Wants" that you actually have had but wouldn't mind more of, I'd suggest taking them out temporarily so that your sender doesn't wind up sending stuff that's not applicable.

    My target seems to have a wide range of tastes in beer, so I will have lots of options for porch bombing <emits evil laugh>!

    I am teaming with at least 1 other member of this BIF to send the same brew to our targets, so it can get multiple reviews.

    As someone that is new to BIF, I have a few questions. What is the ship date? I plan on sending 8-12 bottles depending on the size, is that about right? When do we let our target know who is sending the beer? Is the goal to only send beer from our local breweries? Look forward to all the fun!
