    You only have one glass anyways, so unless you plan on not drinking anything else while you wait for him to come get in your plan wouldn't work.

    Never been to FOBAB before, thanks for the responses. Should have realized I have only one glass.

    This is actually what I did last year while waiting for a friend who was in GA. Got a pour of something (Prop or BA Abraxas, I think) right at 6, then just chilled for a bit until he got in.

    Thanks, I'll probably shoot for this strategy. How quickly do the lines move during early entry? 20 minute wait? 15?

    I don't remember, honestly. Pretty quick, I think? More people became members this year, though, so who knows.

    Sorry if this was mentioned already, do volunteers get to walk around and try beers other than the ones they are serving? Thanks!

    Yes. During the session to which they get free entry :wink:

    Not supposed to, not even supposed to drink at your serving area . . . of course one's got to try what one's handing out, right?

    Four tickets, and tickets are transferable? Let the scalping begin.
