    As Centennial said... yes. Both locations, I think. :wink: But then again, I don't have a map and a ruler to do the specific calculations, and I drink a lot of beer, so what the hell do I know. Let's just say north of Houston.

    Hint #2: My target has been a BA member for longer than I have.

    And eff Andy Reid and his poor clock management, I am so happy to see that pompous ass go. Only wishing for that the last three seasons.

    My target's avatar reminds me of a certain Billy Joel song.

    I sure think it is.
    My box has a very cool bonus inside that I may have taken from a very popular beer bar in my state. After a few beers and I felt bad :wink:

    it might be a race on who's box lands first, mine is packed and ready to ship. I have 5 boxes to be picked up tomorrow, this one by far, is the most epic. I have only sent out one other box that was close to this magnitude (The Brewery A for Brewery B BIF). That was because I was given one of my regular trading partners as my target, this box, it would take a scientific equation to deduce the connection between us, if there is one.

    My box should land Wednesday. Also the longest chain in my box is 5 matching beers!

    I have 3 sets so far. Of the 6 beers, 3 are once a year releases, 1 hasn't been made in 4 years and 1 was a brewery release only with a 6 bottle limit...

    Hint 4: My targets BA name has at least 6 characters...

    Cheers!

    is that the one with the line that says, "you had to open up your mouth"? Naa, not that one.

    My box will have a few 10, 11, &12 verticals inside, along with a few beers only barrel aged once so far, one being a 2010 vintage. Also my original intentions have changed since my target told me a few things about the box he plans on sending.

    So pumped to see the hauls start popping up this week! My box is all set except some swag I need to pick up this week... apologies to my target, but I only knocked off 10 (12 if we count vintages) of your wants.

    Hint #3: My packages will be heading toward the atlantic ocean...

    I anticipate needing 3 boxes to get all these beers out to my target. If I can find one more beer in time, there will be an epic 7 beer chain amongst the rest of the beers all of which will be paired in some way (though I may have to change that if there's "room" in one of the boxes. If my count is correct, I will be hitting at least 9 or 10 of my target's 100+ wants.

    My target has not been a member as long as I, but he has surely done more trades. If I were to take public transportation to get to my target's destination city, I would need to change Amtrak trains only once.

    I should be sending out my two boxes by the end of the week. They shall be going west, and will include 2 brewery only releases, a number of BA variants, a triplet, and a quartet.

    I am pretty sure I will need three boxes to send my haul, I also have to double check my Oz. total as I believe I am on the edge of going over the 400Oz limit.

    Is it bad that I haven't really calculated? :slight_smile:
