    I'm planning to pick up the rest of my brews this afternoon. I already have 1 of 2 pieces of swag and got a great "other local" suggestion from the wife this morning.

    It's starting to come together, but I doubt it'll get shipped out until the week of May 7 ... but I could surprise someone late this week.

    I'll be out of town May 4th-8th. Probably will ship when i get back. I'm still pondering what to ship for the local non beer related item.

    My box is packed up and going out tomorrow. I have family in the state it's going to. Big help huh...

    Looking forward to this, getting beer that you can't get from someone you don't know is rather cool.

    My Box is going to a person that likes beer and is a member of beeradvocate.com :stuck_out_tongue:

    Box should hit the road on Monday.

    headed in a Westerly direction give or take some north or south.

    I'm heading to a couple of newly opened tasting rooms this weekend to get fresh locals and schwag, and hopefully shipping to somebody North of me by mid next week.

    Box is one state away from my target. Fedex says delivery tomorrow, we'll see if they deliver Saturdays. If not, should be Monday.

    It seems as though I was the first to have boxes land on MY steps!!! Two awesome boxes from the great state of Minnesota were waiting for me when I got home from work. Inside was a collection of fantastic beers and swag!

    First the Swag/non-beer items:
    Minnesota Kombucha (oak aged) I am very interested in this for sure!
    Minnesota Wild Rice
    Town Hall Pint Glass (love the shape of it)
    Surly Scarf (I cannot wait until a nice cool night to wear it but it may be some time before that happens.)

    Beers:
    Cans:
    Surly Furious x 2 (?)
    Surly Cynicale
    Surly Bender
    Surly Coffee Bender
    Surly Bitter Brewer

    Steel Toe Brewing Size 7 IPA

    Central Waters BBBW
    Central Waters Peruvian Morning
    Central Waters Solstice Stout
    Central Waters Y2K Barleywine 2011

    GROWLER OF TOWN HALL IPA!!!!

    What a great pair of boxes that were packed like they were capable of being dropped from a plane for delivery.

    Thanks for the sweet boxes.

    Fedex Home should deliver Saturdays, Fedex Ground won't. If you specified residence, it'll drop tomorrow.

    Wow! I better up the ante before I send out my box. I did pick up my second beer swag item, so the non-beer items are taken care of. Unfortunately, it appears as though one of the beers I was planning to ship is infected, so I'm going to need to pick up some replacements.

    I'm going to do my shopping today and early this week, and my box will be out at the end of the week.

    I should be shipping out mid-week & were able to pick up a few cool locals over the weekend. Hoping to pick up the second beer swag today- this is by far the hardest part!

    Then, my box will be shipping west- there's your hint. Of course, I live in Boston, so it's not giving you much.

    I live in NC and my box will NOT be going west. I picked up a couple last minute additions today, got my swag and non-beer item set aside. Should ship Monday or Tuesday.

    I'm packing up tonight & shipping out tomorrow! I'm guessing it should only take a few days? My target lives in a state with at least 2 football teams.

    My box is going out tomorrow. It is headed to a state with professional teams that have won all four major championships in the past decade (World Series, Super Bowl, NBA Championship and Stanley Cup).

    EDIT: In comparison, NC only has 2 major professional teams (the Bobcats don't count) that have won one Stanley Cup, lost one Stanley Cup and lost one Super Bowl. Ever. All while having approximately 50% more people living in my state than my target's state. We LOVE our college sports on Tobacco Road! /offtopic

    Hmm, I'm leaning towards the wonderful region of NE? What can I say- we've had a good run...though trouble recently. Go C's!

    It does sound like a box is coming this way. We'll see who get's it...

    Fed Ex says my box was delivered this past Saturday......

    I know! I just received a LIF today, so this could be a really exciting week! Apologies for not shipping mine out yet, but I'm having it wrapped tonight & out the door tomorrow. I have someone else do my dirty work :slight_smile:
