FOBAB 2013

[Treebs]

Really want to make the trip out here for the event and am currently ISO one ticket to the late session. Anybody that has an extra ticket or knows someone that does please message me and let's talk. Hope to see you guys there next month. Cheers!!!

Chris, look on Craigslist Chicago as it gets closer to the event. People start dropping like flies. Also, get the first session.

 

[Stuck_In_Iowa]

I'm going and have first session tickets.

I might be looking to trade both for second session tickets due to a possible conflict.

I'm a little worried by not being an IMBIBE member also, and missing out on some awesome beers potentially.

Then again I don't want to have to try finding a cab at that time of night from the events location.

Anyone with physical tickets: Is your name on the ticket?

I have printable tickets (that has my name on it) and might be trying to trade them from afternoon to evening session. I have gone the past 2 years and I don't remember them ever checking your ID and then the ticket. It seemed like the check ID's ahead in the line and then when you got in you gave your ticket when you got your program, glass and drink tickets.

That's how I recall last year working as well.

The only problem is I don't trust my fuzzy memory that was induced by the awesomeness of the event 100%.

Physical tickets don't have names on them.

hmmm... So my printable tickets might have an issue with being nontransferable?

Two years ago I transferred mine by simply calling Brown Paper Tickets, despite the non-transferable warning on their site.

It's worth a shot. I simply told them I could not make the drive from out of state anymore. I needed the credit card I charged them to, and it was as simple as that.

By printable tickets, do you mean those printed from a computer? Before I traded 2 of my tickets from early to late session I checked with one of the people running the event to make sure that it would be OK even if the names didn't match at the door. He said it's fine. You should be OK.

Yes. Tickets I can print from my computer. I did not get physical tickets mailed to me.

You should be fine. I have 2 tickets in my name and 2 in somebody else's name (the guy I traded with.) I was told by some one I know over at ICBG that it wouldn't be a problem. Quite a few people were trading fast and furious after the sale.

So. Saturday.

Anybody got any details on who will be pouring what? The spoilers usually start flowing about now.

I've assumed that the way Cory speaks of Blueberry Flanders, it is now part of the Side Project portfolio.

Actually just found this:

Sam ‏@Buckfutter12 25 Oct
@SideProjectBrew are you going to be at #fobab ? Would love to get some blueberry Flanders again. Best beer of last year!

Side Project Brewing ‏@SideProjectBrew 25 Oct
@Buckfutter12 I'll be there with Blueberry Flanders. Different batch with different blueberries, but I'm really happy with it!

[Rizdac]

Talked to Cory at Abraxas Day; said Perennial was bringing La Boheme (I thnk), BA Abraxas, and a third beer.

Side Project was Saison Du Fermier, Blueberry Flanders, and a third beer.

I was obviously only looking to hear BA Abraxas and Blueberry Flanders.

Damn it, now I really want to get an imbibe membership so I can get in an hour early

It's worth it.

 

[thewimperoo]

It's worth it.

It's been worth it in the past. Now that there's like 450 people in IMBIBE, it's not going to be as much of a free for all as it used to be.
