Hill Farmstead (2019)

I thought it was MUCH better. And score one for the early crowd. I know we get some shit for getting there early, but some of us have logistics issues (kids) and need to get up there, get our shit, and get home. Opening at 9:55 or so was a pleasant surprise and I thought they crushed it in the retail room.

Of course, I was in and out before the grandmules on canes and the gaggle of bored looking, college aged girls I saw get in line who were no doubt long time Hill Farmstead enthusiasts. That might have slowed the afternoon lines a bit.

 

Excellent! Thank you! I’ll be getting there around 2:30 as well, so hopefully this how things go this year.

 

Anyone hear yet?

 

Nothing yet.

 

Got a FOFA email -- not sure if people here are waiting to hear back from HF.

 

How were the lines today? Any predictions for Sat? I’ll be in the area for my son’s soccer game on Sat. and am thinking of stopping in around 1:30. I’ll have two kids with me who are great at entertaining themselves, but I don’t want to wait in the bottle/can line for more than 45min.

 

Got fofa email about 6 hrs ago. Idk what time I'm in Tokyo right now...

 

Line was about 15-20 people out the door around open, and all but disappeared by 1pm. Clover hadn't run out when I left, and according to the FB group, is still available.

Probably won't still be there, but Flora Melange and Fou '16 were available for onsite.

 

Does anyone know the total amount of HF CW members there are compared to the total number of FOFA tickets?

 

I don't know, but based on my sample size of one it was easier to get fofa than CW.

 

Sorry for this question, but any chance Clover last until Saturday? I know, I know, but I had to asked! Thanks!

 

Sure, there's a chance.

 

Sold out

 

Is there a separate FoFA thread for this year? I searched but only found ones for previous years. Just want to check before I started blabbering on.

 

Still no FOFA email.

No one I know even received a confirmation email when they registered. Did that happen to anyone else?

 

No confirmation email but could see on the universe website I had successfully put in for the lottery

Oh well, fingers crossed for next year!

 

I didn't receive a registration email either but I did get the "you are selected" email on Thursday. Not sure if they all went out yet or not though.

 

That is an absolutely stacked list this coming week. Haven't seen Everett in bottles in quite awhile.

 

Is it safe to make the trip from Burlington to Hill Farmstead this weekend in a Honda Civic with all-season tires? I’ve never been, but I’ve read a lot of warnings about “Mud season” which have me a little worried about the drive.
