    Have you been to FoBAB before? The insane excess of the event is part of the enjoyment, having to show restraint to go out afterwards seems like cruel and unusual punishment.

    I'm taking the train in from the burbs. Getting into Union Station a little after 11am and taking a cab to the event.

    No, I' suggest bring some granola bars, pretzels, etc, to munch on during the festival to keep some food in your belly. That being said with the switch to the new venue their might be food options, but we haven't heard anything regarding that yet.

    Does anyone know if its going to be in the loading dock or inside. If its outside they might have food trucks like mash tun fest.

    That's why you don't bring your girlfriend/wife to out of town events like FoBAB!

    Anyone have advice on snagging tickets at this point, maybe based on prior experience? I've seen a couple pop up in the tickets forum but it's tough to watch that constantly. Craigslist is starting to populate but several people asking 2x face (+ beer in some cases).

    I'm aiming to go find food after the 1pm session. Any recommendations for places to try? I've hit urbanspoon and have some ideas, but thought I'd ask in case anybody has been on the slouch in Bridgeport before.

    Does this mean no bottles? If so that would mean no: Veritas, Utopias, Nebraska (I'll survive), Upland, and probably others I cant remember. :angry:
