    I keep running into the Rush documentaries that have been playing on Showtime and AXIS.

    I can understand why she couldn't go, but I don't understand why you had to miss it.

    2.5 hour drive each way to Buffalo. Would likely have to spend the night and had just closed on a house. There were a lot of things going on at that time. Plus, I did get to see them on the Clockwork Angels Tour, so I did get to see them before they quit.

    Hint #1! Your avatar is not a human!
    Hint #2! I have approximately fifteen times the completed trades you do in the last ~two months!
    Hint #3! We share a recent trading partner!
    Hint #4! Your state may be quite small, but it is more populous than my own state!
    Hint #5! Nine Inch Nails' drummer (circa 89-97) was born on the day that you joined Beer Advocate (though not in that year)!

    Hint 3: As of this post, you have not been eliminated as my possible sender (that is, if you weren't my target, you would still be in the running as my sender)

    If you ask me, there is really only one great lake. The others are just very good lakes

    This is a very sensible take. Though I might argue whether Erie qualifies as very good. It's just sort of OK.

    Actually Erie is the only one I consider Great. Quality over quantity. The other lakes are too showy

    I think this should be the last hint needed for my target.

    Hint #6: The man in this picture went to high school in your town (at least according to Wikipedia, which is the most ironclad source of information on the internet).

    Ahah! I didn't even need a paperclip to figure that puzzle out! I think you must be my sender, sir! Well-played!

    Hint 1: I’m shipping west, which should help no one since I live on Long Island.
    Hint 2: target’s state has teams in all four major sports.
    Hint 3: target’s city is the same as the last name of a semi-prominent singer from the 80s.

    Decision time, target: would you like a bomber of barrel-aged Darkness, or would you prefer a couple of smaller format cans/bottles in your package?

    Only like this post if you would prefer a bomber of BA Darkness versus a couple of small format beers!

    I’m very close to accusing you of ruining my porch. It seems like it could be a few others as well but figured I might as well put it out there while your package is enroute.

    If you happen to be right, this where you (and everyone else) will post pictures. It's fun seeing all the cool cans/bottles from all over the place.
