Two packs for you smarty pants.
If some if you don't understand that exchange, I do some part time work at the medical clinic at the homeless shelter out on Long Island in Boston Harbor. The most common ailments we see over the winter are foot problems. The clients are outside all day in the rain/snow and get wet feet. Not a problem for you and I, we go home and put on dry shoes and socks. Big problem if all of your belongings are in the rucksack you are wearing in the rain/snow. Last year I asked everybody coming to Masstoberfest to bring a package of new white athletic socks and I wound donate them to the clinic where they would be put to good use.
It is NOT an entrance fee by any stretch of the imagination. If you can afford it and you agree that there is a need and you wish to help than I'd welcome your help. We all choose where we donate our time/effort/money.
For that matter, we all have different economic circumstances and needs. If you personally are pressed for cash and are thinking that you can't come to Masstoberfest because things are tight and maybe you don't want to show up empty handed, please come anyways. This is about comradery and fellowship between local brewers and friends. If you are just a ******** and think it will be funny to show up with a bag of frozen broccoli that's cool too.
And if any of you Douchenozzles think you'll get a big laugh by bringing a frozen pizza and mocking my wicked pissah pizza oven I'm gonna sick Yeager on yo azz. Just saying'.
