    My vote is also going to ThreeFishes. All for the above mentioned reasons and how he just demolished my porch in a simple trade!
    What we trade for,

    What he sent!

    We have traded since then and he still never ceases to amaze me with his advocacy...
    Most importantly, I want to nominate him for his giving to instantmessinger.
    Cheers!

    p.s. Those folks from Cuzcos BIF are also worthy of a nomination for above reason!

    I give the millionth vote for threefishes. Killer dude. Also, I heard on the street corner he's a rad homebrewer, which can't hurt.

    I know I already voted for threefishes, but I'd also like to nominate ufmj. In the Cuzco BIF (which seems to be taking over here lol), after recieving his box from his sender (which happened to be threefishes, lol), he randomly sent a return box back to threefishes, which is freaking sweet. And not just any crap box, but a sweet lil care package. See here:

    Well I'm glad I just got a bunch of really good references for ThreeFishes, who just signed up for the BA goodness BIF...

    However, I'm here to nominate FTowne. He was a participant in a BIF I was running, and I assigned him as my sender, not knowing his history as a B-2 bomber in the airforce during WWII. I had no idea what I was in store for, and since the rules of the BIF were pretty vague, I wasn't sure what to expect (2012'ers gonna 2012). Holy shit did I underestimate this guy. Dude dropped nukes on me like a disgraced Enola Gay pilot.

    Sends me somewhere of triple the suggested ounce limit, send me easily 9-10 glasses, and a bottle of locally distilled St. Louis Rye Whiskey (which is fucking delicious). His packing is easily the best packing I've ever seen, ever, and his materials used in packing are, for me, just as valuable as the contents, as it's the best material for packing bottles and glassware (dat foam).

    On top of it, he's a genuinely awesome guy who I've had long conversations with. Often times we'll argue over which one should hang up first, or we'll just fall asleep with the phones next to our ears so we can hear each other snore. Every box he's sent that I've seen the haul of has been killer, and he's always a standup dude who can bring some wisdom to a conversation.

    And that dude can markintihar a Black Tuesday like it's nobody's business. Though he needs to work on his escalator ascension tactics.

    I missed the cutoff to vote but I wanted to mention Deltoro, UFMJ, and threefishes as some of the stellar BAs whom I have come into contact with.

    Deltoro- My favorite trading partner and all around good guy. He has went out of his way to help me out and hook me up on multiple occasions. Hopefully, some day in the future we are able to sit down and enjoy a beer together.

    UFMJ- While I was his target in a Bif, this has nothing to do with that. He has been very generous with many people and while not knowing him in real life, he sure comes off as an awesome person and all atound nice guy. One last point is the passion he seems to have for beer. I get a very genuine feeling when it comes to him as a person and advocate.

    Threefishes- Pretty much see above.

    Sorry - forgot to post last night.

    ThreeFishes, your cellar "problem" is about to get a little worse. I will be adding bottles to it while you're trying to give some away! Mwah-ha-ha.

    Seriously though, love all the good stories and everyone mentioned in here is totally deserving. Love to see some of that 2013 advocacy :slight_smile:

    Glad everything made it ok! The impending descent is a personal favorite, and in my opinion, the best beer in the scratch series. Hopefully you enjoy the beers!

    ...stay tuned for round 3 :slight_smile:
