    As many tickets as it takes.

    Excellent question. It would depend on how much showed up.

    Well, if you get there late, you'll miss a few drawings for sure, but you'll still get a number and will still have a chance to grab stuff.

    I might just have to make it out for this. Especially since I couldn't score a ticket to the GI bf event

    Will the raffle just be for Goose Island stuff? (not complaining)

    This is going to be awesome! Sounds like you've got a good plan worked out too. Now shut up and take my money.

    I toyed with the idea of pulling other stuff out of the cellar, but honestly, it wouldnt feel right, not with our shared history.

    Is it at all possible to get any idea of pricing? Mainly on the stuff we can guess would be the most expensive (BCBS Rare, 2010 varieties, etc..) Would just help me determine a spending limit.

    Thanks!

    With there being a 10a session now, any change to the schedule for the festivities at Castle Vav?

    I'm trying to get that all sorted today. I will have it up before the event though, promise.

    Sadly, no. I'm proceeding as scheduled. But i tell you what: i'll adjust the pull schedule so that least a few bottles of each (including Rare) are pulled before 10am.

    Might be a dumb question, but will the winners all pay for their goodies through the normal registers - meaning that all normal payment methods are available (including any of us lucky enough to currently have a gift card burning a hole in his/her wallet)? Thanks!

    I swore off Black Friday 15 years ago and I have not ventured out since. This will definitely have me breaking that rule. This whole event sounds well planned and awesome. Vav, great work as per usual.

    Hey Vav, I also have a 10 a.m. ticket to the Goose Island tastng. Would it be possible to put our names on our numbered piece of paper, or have the # documented somewhere with our names so that in case our #'s get pulled, we can come back to the castle to pick it up after the tasting?

    Just a thought.....thanks for doing this....it sounds like an awesome time!!!

    I get why people would want this, but it seems to take some of the fun out of the event. Everyone could just come to put there names in and then leave to go to whatever else and pick their bottles up later.
