    Yeah, this was my thought as well. As a non-Imbibe member, I'm torn between going on Friday (which I prefer), and going Saturday night (which will give me a better shot at the "whales"). Last year I got in right when it opened for general admission, and BA Abraxas and Prop '14 had already kicked.

    Given the number of IMBIBE memberships sold, there are going to be a TON of members getting early access. I can already hear the complaints about the BA Abraxas blowing within 5 minutes of early IMBIBE access.

    So Saturday night is the only session where there is no early access granted?

    I'll predict next year a new level of entry to be added - VIP IMBIBE members. For an added $50 on top of their membership they'll get first crack, followed by IMBIBE followed by the rest of 'em.

    Last year with Ticketmaster, it was $65 plus fees. I think I paid $68 total.

    So if it ends up being cheaper than last year, thumbs up to the organizers. :sunglasses:

    FoBAB was crop dust central last year. Walked thru so many fart clouds in that tight room w/ no airflow..

    I liked your comment, but there was nothing to like about the air situation at FoBAB. :wink:

    I got lucky for much of the night (as I was moving around constantly, so I didn't stay in one gas cloud too long), but you're right, there were some real rough patches.
    That is correct. There's early access for the Friday night session and the 1st session on Saturday.

    Is there a password that was emailed? The page is asking for one. I assume it's only because the link isn't live yet. But if I'm wrong, is it something other than the address associated with your paypal account (as referenced in the IMBIBE email)?

    I imagine it's just because the link isn't live yet. I never received a password either.

    2nd this. I believe the site will just open at 10 am. Think it's just "locked" at the moment.
