    I didn't receive the email until about an hour after I purchased the tickets

    No need to change any name. Per Universe

    If you have purchased a ticket for yourself and would like to give it to someone else because you can no longer attend the event, simply email them the PDF ticket that was sent to your email. Despite the fact that your name is on the ticket, they will still be able to use your ticket as your Ticket's ID number and QR code are unique and can only be used once. You might want to let the organizer know who you are giving your ticket to, just in case they would want to make a note of it for the at-the-door event staff.

    I was just thinking that one of goals for this year would be to try a larger variety.

    Then I saw this and remembered a bunch of interesting things were in those middle aisles, but they weren't interesting enough to brave that mix of sweat and farts.

    supposedly they have additional square footage for the main floor this year, plus that 2nd "sessionable beers" room, so ... i guess it can't get any worse than last year.

    or maybe it can.

    Hate to be "that guy," but if anyone has an extra Saturday 1-5 p.m. ticket that they'd be willing to spare, I know someone who would love to give it a great home.

    The trick is going to the places that are empty. You dip in, grab your beer, and dash out, before the gas trail has a chance to get into your nostrils.

    That's how we ended up drinking more mead and cider than we expected...

    Funny you mention that. There was one mead there that my girlfriend had, that totally blew me away. I think it was called Imperial Breakfast Magpie; it's kind of like Vainglorious, except sweeter. I will definitely be checking the mead section this year!

    I remember that, and I remember it being exactly Vainglorious. In mead form...

    So I found out when said friend texted me around 3:30 to say he wound up getting one. All good here.

    Very excited for my first FoBAB.

    Price for this event went up again... Come on!!! Putting my foot down and not going to buy a ticket this year. If we all stand up and say no to the constant price increases for events we can let them know people won't come. Who's with me!?!?!
