    This will be my first time heading up a BIF. YaKnowBrady has graciously given me some pointers.

    I have 2 ideas for a BIF and want your input as to which one you would enjoy participating in.
    1-Locals Only!
    - Would be you sending your local goodness to a target and you get local goodness in return. Maybe limit it to say 200 miles or so from around your city. 100-150 oz or so

    2-Can you do the CAN CAN?
    -The box would be cans and just cans! Maybe 144 oz. Make you up the best 12 pack you can using as many local/or local Distro cans as possible.

    Shipping window would be 6 weeks. Not too far into summer but not so quick that we have late boxes.

    After I feel I have enough responses I will post a the BIF!

    Cheers
    Gene

    I'd be up for either of these, for sure.. still wanting to get in on a BIF.... i voted locals, as it'd be easier for me, but that being said, there'd be cans involved either way....

    How about doing both. You arrange for targets for one i.e. cans... Then everyone sends locals back to their sender... You could even make the return of locals be like the what's it worth to you bif.

    Like the idea, I may just do that lets see how the votes go!
    Or I could do a local cans only. But that could get very hard, I only have CCB in my locale that offers cans. So there would be little variety.

    I could be interested. I'd be sending local cans, so either way, I'm probably in.

    Since there's currently a locals BIF that just closed sign-ups yesterday, why not start up a CANs BIF now and then do a locals BIF later? Anyone wanting to participate in a locals BIF now can sign up for the other one?

    It could be a Locals only BIF that you must include x ounces in can form. That may work out well!

    I shall call her "Only The Locals get Canned"!!!!
    Hmm... you have to include local snacks and food that come in a can/tin. I like it.
