    Also, as an added bonus, if we collect $1000 for barry's kids with donations and auctions, brad will wear a special costume that goes along with his wife's make a wish of a pony...or a Brony...

    Friday everyone is getting in town. Friday evening at casa de montecristo. Saturday during the day some went to 8 to 8 cigars but i dont think the place is big enough for all attending this year so we will probably have to spend day and evening at casa saturday. Some time in between all that feed yourself.

    Speaking of 8 to 8, they are one of the unlucky 13.

    Friday night we all crash Patrick's house for a banger. It's tradition.

    They receive the dress boxes of them.  Other retailers will receive the non-dress box.

    I'm hoping that Kaizad will bring his newest alcohol infused cigar. I have heard that they are infused with a whole bottle of Stawberry Boones Farm.

    Also, I am driving up on sat morning and not sure if I am staying for Sun. Casa opens at 8am so I will just need to know which lounge to go to in the morning.

    WE will have to see how many people are even close to being up that early after any Friday night shenanigans.

    The best time is Friday morning. Run across the street for alcohol and begin...  hardly anyone in there. I come in on Thursday night. 8-8 is way too small-- brewery tour on Saturday afternoon and then to Casa at 4-5...I like to check out the local microbreweries for sho!!

    I will be there Wednesday to Sunday. Tribeca is a B&M in Downers Grove, not too far from Casa if it is still open and anyone wants to go there before the herf starts. I will probably have a rental car if anyone needs airport pick up or a trip to the hooch store. I have family in Chicago ( Naperville) so I will be there early.
    Looking forward to meeting so many BOTL!

    Myths and Legends brew pub looks interesting and it is really close to my favorite pizza joint Pappa Passeros! Being from the area I am picky about my pizza! Don't miss Portillos for a hot dog and an Italian beef sandwich!

    I used to go to Passero's. Now it's just a little to far from home. What a small world.
