FoFA 2018

[Fahmie25]

I was also in the line. My view is this:

That line sucked.

I did enjoy hanging out with all of you homies In Belgium though.

theLostWizard Alvaralu bird22 are all wonderful people in my experience (though I do generally try to get along with everyone cause drama, especially beer drama, is pretty dumb). I’m assuming I met the rest of you but I was mostly drunk and don’t remember usernames.

It was probably a misunderstanding. Everyone in the line was grumpy cause it kinda sucked waiting in that huge line.

FOFA tho, amirite? Let’s all get along and drink good beers.

And the stand on the hill and eat Gyros and people watch half in the bag like we did last year.

'half'?

 

[BadJustin]

'half'?

I’m being conservative man.

Pretty spot on my thoughts. Haven't met any of said people in real life besides theLostWizard once in the Old Stagecoach parking lot. Granted, I was high on Huevos and life but he seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

I just came here to say that I want to drink Marie all day.

Ok, may have hit a roadblock. My surgery is 06/26 and I will be out approx. 4 weeks. If that is the case then I most likely won't be able to attend FoFA. My company's disability plan has a 5 day waiting period for disability which means either I use PTO time or go no pay for those 5 and I cannot go no pay. With all the time I already have scheduled for the year I have exactly 5 days left, which means no time for FoFA.

BUT, I am going to call and see if I can push the surgery out till after the 4th of July which means the 4 weeks I will be out will run into FoFA weekend thereby allowing me to attend since I will out on disability. Fingers crossed.

Dude...

I mean, take good care of yourself but it wouldn't be the same without you

Aw, thanks brother! I am gonna lobby hard with the doc, even if I have to lie about why I can't have it on the 26th, I mean it's nothing I am going to die from by putting it off a week or so.

Can't you just be out another week? Just drag out your PT. I'm pretty sure there's a chapter on this in Costanza's Guide to short term disability.

I was hoping this blew up because the buses were confirmed...





It's funny reading this because I'm terrible with normal names, much less connecting those to usernames, but I was definitely in line with all of you at the same time while this was happening. A couple people in front of me were doing the one gets drinks while the other stays for most of the duration (took me just over an hour - and I personally think that procedure is perfectly fine), and a couple people who were not there previously definitely cut right near the front of the line (I recognized one of them, and I'm not one to call people out, but you know who you are, and booourns). So given the whole terrible with names thing, everyone's right and no one's right?

Jesus Christ how many of you people went to Brussels

Enough to call each other out in the guest brewery’s festival thread?

Maybe you should stick to cultivating your instagram content.

I was trying to avoid this thread because of my FOFA FOMO, but I'm glad I came here for this.

Just booked SLM 2018! We have a whole ******* farm in Morristown/Stowe, more centrally located than last year for sure. And it has a pool table - Marc you better practice, Canadians going down this year.

Anyone who is interested please shoot me a message, once tickets are secured I’ll start a group conversation. We could literally have half the fest camp at this place, and it “sleeps” 14, so space shouldn’t be an issue.

Safe to assume there will be another bus coordinated from this location? Seems a bit further than Barton, but closer to Stowe is definitely a plus for anyone looking for non-SLM airbnb's / hotels.

We will coordinate something, actually once raqnroll has the Waterbury situation coordinated, it would be sweet to see if they can stop by on the way to/from HF, we aren’t far off of 100

May the ticket gods smile upon you today gentlemen. I entered anyways, not too concerned with eating the tix since I know folks here will need.

Same, I'm maybe 5-10% to go this year due to schedule conflicts, but between here and other friends I know that unloading the tickets at cost should be easy if I win and can't make it.

if anyone has a bus or DD plan in the Barton area, LMK... 4 of us will be looking for a ride

Does anyone remember how quickly winner's emails go out? Website says names will be drawn randomly "beginning at noon" - but last year I received my "We regret to inform you..." email well after 3pm.

Damn Trillium not only picks the exact same day for their festival, but ticket sales go live at 1pm the same day FoFA emails go out. I really don't want to get both and then have to decide between missing FoFA and eating $60 for the non-transferable Trillium tix.

In the past I believe you could check your credit card statement pretty soon after as they charge you right away, and then emails came shortly after that. I know the one time that I’ve won I got a notification of the $200 or whatever charge from my bank basically right away which gave me the heads up. I’d guess it would be similar this year but who knows

 

[Resuin]

Sounds like charges went through (not for me...)

 

[tylerk88]

gf and i both struck out. haven't won a hf lotto yet.

 

[Evahflow]

Looks like I will be in for my first FOFA this year and my first trip to Hill.

I'm happy to take one ticket off someone's hands at cost. Don't give it to this *******
