    This is a BIF that urbancaver started for 2010 DLD I have participated the last two years. The only reason I wanted to start this is that urbanacaver hasn't made a comment on BA in almost a year and I always really liked this BIF. So if urbanacaver comes back and wants to take over I will be more than happy to turn it over to him, but if not lets get the ball rolling.

    For those who have no participated before the rules are simple:

    You bring a large format bottle of beer.
    -22 ounces or more (exceptions can be made for particularly awesome bottles)
    -last year's Dark Lord, Darkness, Black Tuesday, etc etc or better in terms of value (ie. must be at least a bit rare and sought after)

    You put that bottle in a bag or something so it cannot be seen.

    You find me at DLD (instructions will be sent to participants).

    You hand me your bottle, I hand you the bottle from the person who found me before you.

    You open your package and take home your new beer!

    If for some reason you can't find me, you just bring back home you bottle. No loss for you!

    I will be vetting everyone who enters to ensure the quality remains high. You do not have to tell me exactly what you are bringing but give me some of your thoughts so I can make sure you're on the right track.

    If you wish to participate you may sign up by E-MAILING me:
    [email protected]
    with your username, name, cell number and the bottle(s) you're considering offering up.

    This year I will be starting the BIF with one of the following 4 bottles:
    Bo and Luke
    '12 MOAS
    '13 Hunahpu

    Sounds like I got a hold of you right before your phone died. Was my first trade/BIF.

    Pulled a CW 16
