    That IS you in your avatar, right? I don't see you as the nervous type

    Lol, I know. I'm outspoken amongst friends. I've had a beer or two, going to tape now :slight_smile:.

    I think I might be a hypocrite...
    When I made a donation, it was because it was something that I wanted to, that I had meant to do, but just hadn't gotten around to actually doing anything about it. This LIF was the kick in the butt I needed to get going is all. It was not because of the chance to win beer that I made a donation.
    That being said, I've been glued to this thread all day to see if I've won beer.

    Ugh...drawing is done. We are working on it. I honestly feel bad that not everyone could get a box. I know most, if not all, of you donated because it was the right thing to do but I still wish I could thank everyone. For me,the toughest part of this was the drawing (other than being on video for the entire BA world to see).

    I don't think anyone will be or should be disappointed with anything relating to this thread... each and everyone in here who donated should be proud (even if you did it for the wrong reason, you did something good knowing there was a chance you got nothing in return).

    Be easy on yourself Brad... this was a major W for the entire community

    Wow, I hate myself on video even more than I thought. My cat makes an impromptu appearance, apparently I have a "Forest Gump" wave, and I apologize for the low audio. Sorry for the lack of emotion, I was just nervous. Feel free to make fun of me and the video, it's raw and uncut :slight_smile:. I have no problem laughing at myself :slight_smile:

    I may say a few more words but there isn't much more to say that I haven't already mentioned. Thanks to everyone for your generosity and contributions. Something I forgot to mention in the video, I appreciate all of the thanks I have received but all I did was start an LIF. This would have never been as successful as it was without ALL of you. This was a team effort of strangers, friends, and even foes that came together for a more than a worthy cause.

    I wish I could send each of you a KH. I really did feel bad having to narrow this down to 15 "winners". I know this sounds cliche but all of you are winners and I'm humbled and proud to have all of you symbolically represented on my table. I'll never forget this LIF. Again, whether you get a box or not everyone should be proud of themselves. My cellar is open to each and every one of you. If ANY o fyou make it to Dallas, please let me know. On to some stats

    175- approx different BA's that donated to a charity
    $8,500- approx amount of total monetary donations to charities

    DONATION TOTALS:
    Dawn Hochsprung Memorial Fund $230
    Newtown Youth and Family Services $830
    My Sandy Hook Family Fund $705
    Supporting Newtown Teachers $155
    Give Forward $1010
    Friends of the Engel Family Fund $20
    Emilie Parker Memorial Fund $80
    Noah's Ark of Hope Fund $985
    Newtown Parent Connection $840
    Sandy Hook School Support Fund $1470
    Newtown Memorial Fund $2030

    WINNERS!!!! I will be in touch with you sometime this weekend for shipping info.

    Congrats to all the winners and one hell of a turnout!

    You are too hard on yourself cfh, that was well done and shit, you may be in that elusive 275 bench club. Only suggestion, would be to have you fill that mug after the drawing with BCBS and slammed it in honor of such a great LIF coming to a close.

    Love saying the user names out loud. I got almost as much enjoyment out of that then I would have if I had won a box!
