Beer friends:
Don't forget to purchase FOBAB tickets today at 10 am Central if you want to attend. As a member of IMBIBE, I was able to get mine already. I will be attending the afternoon session (1-5 pm). I think this best, as some beers may sell out. And navigating home at 10 pm after all those beers might be difficult. I think I will get a room downtown that evening.

IMBIBE members get into the afternoon session an hour early, which makes it more pleasant by far. I imagine that if you join soon, you'll be able to do that. It's $35 a year:

About $51 with fees. Pay with Paypal. Last year it was one per person at a time and I was able to get 2 before it sold out. You can buy for a friend/spouse, but they check IDs so you cannot really hope to resell easily.

Maybe even faster. I got an email saying 10000 people were trying for 2200 tickets.
My brother got 1 ticket into his shopping cart within 5-7 seconds of noon (they changed the time again) and when he tried to pay got an error message; that was that.
Did you get afternoon or evening? If the former, see you there.

What a joke on that "Top 10." No way that is unbiased. It's closer to being a "Worst 10."
