if anyone is going to the event and either will have an extra glass (ie. has a friend going who isn't into glassware) or doesn't really care about glassware, i'd love to work something out for the glass. i've got beer, glass, or ??? to swap. ping me if you think you might have a glass that you can help out with.
can you get to NY for collection? if i lived close enough to steal it, i'd pay for a ticket and be at the event.
no need to pay. there are some of BA's that would steal it for you. all you have to do is send them a case of heady topper of black ops. check the great lakes forum. provided you send them your gf's bag first.
