FoFA 2018

[BadJustin]

Someone had to do it, I’m your Huckleberry.

So 8/4/2018, we yet again converge upon the NEK to touch tips and cause general dischord and debauchery.

Idk about you guys but I’m practicing 2 songs for Karaoke a Parker Friday. I’m totally serious.


So what are plans? Who needs help with what.

 

[NAPO]

I'm 0-3 for the past 4 years I have tried to sign up. Hopefully my luck changes this year. I was planning on going to VT around August either way.

This is the correct answer, so much fun not only at the fest but the various parties and Parker were worth it alone IMO

For those non-SLM folks be aware the Stagecoach is booked out that weekend for a wedding. Who get's married on FoFA weekend?

(obligatory touching tips gif)

 

[icfpny]

I've got an Airbnb booked for that weekend, so definitely hoping to score tickets somehow.

 

[Fahmie25]

I will be in attendance.

 

[teddyarrowhead]

I’ll be there. Buses from Waterbury again?

(If not I'll likely kill myself, thus making my Airbnb available.)

Simmer down, Egg Boy, stay active one the site and you’ll find what you seek. In prior years there were plenty of tix on the board to go around. Patience is key.

Thinking I might try for this one.

TBers at Highland again? Since it worked so well for the anniversary shenanigans it seems like it would make sense again

I am a very handsome egg, sir.

Shout out to everyone on bus 2 who forgot meeting each other, looking at you Fahmie25

I will be camping and enjoying skateparks with dozens of friends in Colorado that weekend... I'll toast from afar and drink some HF shedding a single tear.

 

[Marc2]

Hoping SLM takes form again this year, it was cool to have a spot big enough to invite folks who had not planned ahead... And cornhole, CANADA!

 

[ggfunk]

What's a fofa?

Fofa sake try to keep up

Fofa sake

Oh okay. I'm not much into rice wine. Nevermind then.

I’m DD’ing for the fest and then heading up to Jay to check out Dark Star Orchestra that night. If anyone is going to the show, staying at the resort, or just wants to open some bottles in a parking lot, please give me a shout.

Who get's married on FoFA weekend?

My cousin, My best friend from high school, and one of my groomsmen so far. I've taken some precautions and disowned my brother for all of 2019 just to be safe.

Highland Lodge booked. Next step, win the lottery. Anyone else thinking Highland should book early.

 

[Don2]

We will have SLM setup again, location TBD. Pretty sure it’s gonna turn into an America-Canadian West Side Story kinda thing

It already has, gotta give the fans what they want

So no guests and all HF beers this year. Color me intrigued.

It’s a throwback to the days when you could just walk up same day and get a ticket. Although, unless they’re gonna shrink the size of the fest back to those days as well, that’s gonna be ALOT of HF beer for them to tap.

 

[andrewdrinks]

I wonder if this is Shaun’s reaction to the long lines for ‘rare’ beers, with people standing in torrential rain to not lose their place in a Side Project line, rather than standing watching White Buffalo with a glass of Anna.

Get rid of the other breweries, have the regular HF beers alongside a few vintage kegs, lay on some blues and nice food...

Makes sense. I didn't touch the Side Project line for that reason. I was content with Suarez, cider bombs, and maximum tip touching. They will probably also cut the number of tickets down...once everyone was out of beer the HF line became a scene out of Battle Royale.

I wish I could swing it this year. Have a bachelor party the weekend before and a wedding the weekend after. I just don't think my bank account can handle it.

Well considering members get a ticket that's like 2-250 right there. Add the public sale and I don't really see this being a small event. I'd expect at least 400. There will, as usual, be a good number of vintage "regulars" and also the Tim residency beers and I would expect a good number of barrel aged beers.

I do feel stuff will go fast, the SARA beers for example. Will interesting to see if there is enough for everyone and how that will play out

That was my first thought - I don't know if this will necessarily fix that, but it could. All I know is I'm cool with it.

Was it 2012 Arthur that was getting poured last year? I'd be all over that again.
