Well, if I hadn't found hometownfavorites.com, I'd definitely be taking you up on your friend's offer. But it's so cheap there ($3 for a 6-pack, $6.50 for a 12-pack--yes, two six packs are cheaper than one 12 pack--and shipping's ridiculously cheap--my friend drinks soda by the case daily and is going to order like 16 6-packs and I'm going to tag on an order for four six packs just to see if I like it. (I was originally going to order two 12-packs, but since it's cheaper to do 4 six-packs...)
He's also going to order a bunch of other stuff he misses from the east coast, so the order's going to be gargantuan.
One thing--the shipping on such a huge order is so ridiculously cheap that I'm almost wondering if they're going to stop the order and make us pay more for shipping. (Parcel Post is cheap but not that cheap...) If that happens, I might be posting back to ask if your friend can at least bring me one six-pack for me to taste...

Cool site though... looking through @ the options now.
Great site... lets me see some unique sodas I'll have to try on the East Coast!

Have you tried Dublin Dr Pepper out of Texas? They're the only Dr Pepper bottler still using Imperial cane sugar instead of HFCS.
(Also, slightly OT, but I'm sorta on the subject anyway--I never did get in touch with Moxie's on Main, but we've found Cheerwine at hometownfavorites.com for awesome prices--AND they ship USPS Parcel Post, which means we can get practically a pallet of stuff shipped for $50 instead of the $150 UPS Ground wants! But thanks for the offer to look...)

I need to go to Moxie's anyway, since they have this one lemonade-soda concotion that I LOVE (I can't remember the name of it, but when I see it, I'll remember it).
And no, I haven't tried the Dublin Dr. Pepper. I'll have to remember to search that one out.

ANC-OGG in NOV
Headed to OGG with mr. meej in Nov. Could have flown inaug outof ANC but opted for later trip due to work issues. Have to fly HNL-ANC since we can't get out of OGG till friday. Still saves two inter-island tix and $60/seat on the way down. No U available when we booked ANC-OGG. Bummer.

Well, I'm holding out hope--U is zeroed out, but there are lots of revenue F seats for sale. That might actually help, as it prevents people from booking Value/Full Flex fares and immediately confirming an upgrade...they may end up releasing some U seats just in time for complimentary upgrades!

Having fun with VX...
Wandered into the VX forum today... (not sure exactly why)... and found eponymous_coward posted an interesting comment about AS' ORD service... so I couldn't resist having a bit of fun on my own
Also... any word on Cheerwine jackal if the order went through or not?

To pay for my portion of the Cheerwine, I ordered my friend Sturgis beef jerky out of South Dakota--confirmed by two independent people as the best jerky in the world--and got myself a few packs of jerky to go along with it.
It'll be like Christmas here in a few more days!!!

Maybe you need to know the guy to understand why this is so funny, but this "Ethan Berkowitz" blog made me laugh out loud.

OK, I'm getting ready to don the flame suit, but I wanted to share a quote made by someone else over in the AGR forum:
If you'd like to see the quote in context and my Amtrak-advocating reply, click the little arrow next to the poster's handle above.
So, from the folks who fly above The Slog regularly, have you tried the Cascades service? What do you think? Do you find it impractical, or do you agree with davidavid237?
And am I nuts for posting this here?
