The Locals HINTS AND HAULS THREAD

Steve! @dannyfayy and I are Pittsburgh Locals! Let us know if you're coming into town! I might be able to arrange something!

 

Welcome Steve !! Unfortunately, I have my 4 years olds birthday party on Saturday evening, so I'm sure Ill be running errands all morning, and getting yelled at by my wife all evening.. Enjoy BG !! Hopefully they will have Mammoth on Tap. @Steve_Oldrati was also in 12 days, and is from Pittsburgh.

In other news. Was planning on crushing my Rare Barrel MMS bottle from @KyleDavis during the Steelers game last night (I could have used it). But I came down with the Den Den virus again. Cant smell or taste anything. Hopefully will be able to this weekend (definitely will need a beer after the party on Saturday). I will post up my MMS LIF this weekend or early next week, I'm going to change it up the rules a little bit this time to try and get more involvement.

 

Welcome aboard Steve. Glad you finally dipped your toes in.

Now we need to get you to one of Devin's famous lunch shares.

In May, there is our 3rd annual Locals Share at my house. Bing you are now the closest local to me, I think it is a requirement to be there.

And your LIF sucks as I've had too many Trillium. @RuckIt sends them out like candy, so might be hard to find a local that he hasn't hit...

 

Funny you should say this... 2 boxes headed out tomorrow to different coasts.

For those planning to come into VA for Locals 3.0

The 2 closest hotels to be are:

• Hyatt Place Dulles Airport South, 4994 Westone Plz, Chantilly, VA 20151
  • I booked this one at group rate. No obligation. $105
  • includes shuttle to/from airport
  • breakfast
  • will also shuttle to/from my house (but ends at 11pm)
  • couple places to eat in walking distance (breakfast at Eggspectation is good)
  • if we get 10 rooms booked, we get a free room, which we can give to one of you
• SpringHill Suites Centreville Chantilly5920 Trinity Parkway Centreville, VA 20120 USA
  • $112 a night
  • a little closer, but no shuttle at all

 

Thanks for setting this up! Still not 100% certain I can go, but I'm going to go ahead and book a room just in case (can always cancel later). The Hyatt rate is cheaper than the AAA rate or my corporate rate, so that's pretty awesome! How do we book it? Do we call then or can we put a code in to the website? If we call, what do we reference so they find the group?

 

Thinking about towing my camper down as it looks like there is a campground in Centreville, Bull Run Regional Park?

 

one note on the Hyatt block of rooms. It is not fully set up yet. When it is, I'll provide the details. Waiting for the 'contract'

And, no obligation on anyone. If the rooms are not used, no big deal. No penalty. nothing is prepaid. All is good!

I didn't know they had campsites, but they might. It is not far from me.

 

sounds like he will have plenty of room for leftovers

 

@oline73 welcome! I see no one has dropped this bit of knowledge: if someone from ohio say anything just keep reading. The next time they something relevant will be the first time.

Usually, but not always, that goes for their southern brethren Kentuckians as well.

 

These Meyvn's think they are soooo cool. Nice of you to show up around here thats more than the packers did yesterday!!!

 

Hey Steve, I had the gall to join post 12dox too!! I think I've only had two or three beers from Trillium so if that qualifies me I'd totally be in! Can also attest that Steve sent some awesome boxes in previous NBS BIFs as well! Great BA!

 

Don't put too much stock in anything @PA-Michigander says can, @oline73 . He hasn't had a beer in a couple weeks so he's definitely not thinking clearly.

 

I've been wishlisted AF by @kgncfl



I mean seriously WTF man? This is out of control. I don't know who lives at house # 774, but their loss is my gain. The Opus Mango is one of the best beers ever made. Joooooooce! Glad you decided not to razzle it

Cheers man!!

 

Welcome Steve,

Deleting Trillium check ins now......just kidding. That's awesome of you to do.

That other box was from me. Hope you enjoyed it.

I am not as close to the burgh as Danny and Rob, but if you ever find yourself north of that, let me know.

Where are you in Maryland? You said near Baltimore right?

 

Ouch...

and yeah, welcome Steve! What part of Maryland?

 

Thanks! I'm in Columbia.

 

The Locals share sounds great, I'll put it on the calendar.

I guess I should have assumed most of you had tried plenty of Trillium. I've had a couple takers, so I'll go this route and try something more inclusive next time.
