    Since the f train does not stop @ Smith 9th St station due to construction, is is quicker to walk the 1.5 miles from Jay St Metrotech or take the F to 7th ave and take the train back north to Smith 9th St station?

    You could also take the B57 bus from Jay Street, which drops off right across from the Smith/9th station. Free transfer from the subway.

    Yeah having to get to work tomorrow at the brewery - I'm just taking the B57 (Red Hook Ikea) all the way there. The stop you want coming from Jay st is at Court St and Hamilton. OH is around the corner.

    And thanks MTA for screwing up trains on a holiday week-end.

    Carrol Street is still open right? That's like a 5 minute walk. Much better than Metrotech.

    So what's the thought on the line tomorrow? Gonna be crazy or chill? Got there at 6:45 for the All Dank release and 8:45 for the No Lay Ups release and was at the corner of Garnet both times. Should I plan on getting there in the middle this time? 8ish? Small line due to holiday?

    Haven't been here on a Friday in a while but it's pretty packed. I feel like it will end up being busier than some ppl think.

    Yeah, Debbie Downer kinda threw a wrench in it. When I saw OH IPA and Moteuka/Galaxy I figured I could show up whenever. Don't know what DD is going to bring.

    Lots of people out of town but potentially tourists in town and the Tired Hands PA crowd.

    I'm expecting the line to be slightly worse than usual, but nothing too alarming.

    The drive back to Long Island though? Forget about it.

    I'm hoping to stroll in around noon to at least grab something. I won't be heart broken if DD is sold out by then.

    I'm showing up in the afternoon. Will have the wife and kid with me and, if growlers are my fate, so be it. That said, I'm optimistic I'll get some cans of my choosing.
