I know quite a few people got shut out tickets this year so I thought I'd throw out a few free ticket giveaways I've come across: KBCO: http://www.kbco.com/pages/gabf-facebook.html Lost Caravan: http://www.lostcaravan.net Lost Caravan is a local band. I know the lead singer is quite involved in the local beer community. It looks like you can enter multiple ways/times so it's probably the better bet. Anyone see any others out there?
You can enter your email address or follow them on twitter/facbook to get a shot at GABF tix. This is through Beergram which is an app that is launching soon that will allow you to send a beer to friends. http://www.beergr.am/ Since they only have 40 twitter followers currently the odds are pretty good at this point.
Happened to catch this band over the weekend at Local 46. I was talking to them after the show and they said something like only 20 people have signed up at this point. Pretty good odds.
