i may be looking to trade 2 night tickets for 2 day tickets.

pm me if interested

4/8/2008 8:11:07 PM

I signed up to volunteer at the festival and when the orientation information was sent to me I was surprised to read:

Quote :

"Pour patrons 2 ounces of beer only; 1 ounce if beer is >6% ABV. "

I have never been to one of these before, but I was expecting people to be given at least more than a swallow at the stands. Is this basically standard for all beer festivals and is this how it was done last year in Raleigh?

4/21/2008 10:06:32 PM

hah, is barely 2oz, unless the person pouring is some old geezer (usually they give you more,specially later in the evening).

and you'd be surprised, 100+ beers at 2oz will get you tanked really fast.

i just sip and pour it out if its nothing special. ill save my space for the good stuff.

4/21/2008 11:00:17 PM

agreed

4/21/2008 11:23:19 PM

Redhook always fills your shit up...

last year i got a duck rabbit pint and had them fill it up for dinner.

4/21/2008 11:29:09 PM

beach music festival for the daytime takeover!

4/22/2008 12:39:31 AM

hmmm... good beer or beach music...



beer wins by a landslide.

4/22/2008 8:17:40 AM

holla at volunteering.

4/22/2008 10:46:19 PM

they're both awesome...real men do both

4/22/2008 10:49:53 PM

i thought about volunteering, but my friend's bachelor party is that night so i just wanted to go and enjoy it.

(Hey, anybody volunteering that isn't planning on going to the after party let me know!!!)

4/22/2008 10:54:21 PM

I couldn't get tickets thank goodness! I still have 2 big papers to write and 2 tests to take.

4/24/2008 10:18:37 AM

I can't wait. I might call in sick to work tomorrow just to prepare for the big day.

4/24/2008 10:38:26 AM

Start drinking now and build up the tolerance.

4/24/2008 11:38:18 AM

4/24/2008 11:39:32 AM

If you want to come with us, we're going to the second/evening/night/whatever session. There's about eight of us (guys + girls) so it should be entertaining.

that was so much fun.

4/24/2008 6:19:25 PM

the girl i went with made me take off my pants before i got in her car

4/24/2008 8:37:50 PM

Look, i shouldn't be saying this on here so that my place in line might move forward, but get there early. There is a parade and all day festival to honor the military or something in downtown the same day.

great job planning there city of raleigh.

4/25/2008 8:07:46 AM

I'm thinking its 50/50 right now that I'll fall over with my crutches, 90/10 if there's any amount of rain.

4/25/2008 8:26:51 AM

i also hear there will be protestors against the war around there too... should be interested with a bunch of drunk people in between them.

4/25/2008 9:37:45 AM

Did anyone drive to the evening session last year? I was just wondering how full the decks/parking around there were at around 5-530.

4/25/2008 3:33:38 PM

I parked on the street a few blocks away last year.

4/25/2008 3:49:45 PM

i'm getting dropped off/picked up to avoid parking all together.

4/25/2008 4:49:24 PM

two tickets will likely become available -- just looking for face value

pm for details

4/25/2008 4:57:11 PM

Need 1 evening ticket tomorrow for a friend... last minute... email me at ncsulilwolf@gmail.com if available! Will respond immediately!

Thanks!

4/25/2008 6:53:58 PM

i'm so exciteddd! volunteering is awesome! i might ride my bike down there to avoid parking, but then i can't carry anything back if i happen to snag some free beer. dilemma..

4/25/2008 7:23:04 PM

backpack. You also should have a free parking pass. What session are you volunteering for?

4/25/2008 7:28:55 PM

but beer is heavy. and yeah about the free parking pass, i just don't want to have to deal with downtown raleigh for such a big event, plus the parade. i'm at the first session.

4/25/2008 7:48:38 PM

I'll be there starting in ~8 hours. 9AM-11PM... damn lacerated liver ruining beer fest fun

4/26/2008 1:10:25 AM

i wish i could volunteer for this but this exam season is killer

4/26/2008 1:57:38 AM

you should have done your 477 project before now, chump.

4/26/2008 2:39:43 AM

i'm not even in that class

4/26/2008 2:54:27 AM

Yeah, there's a lot of shit going on downtown tomorrow. Parade, voting, this festival, protesting, and it's probably going to rain. Quite frankly though I could care less about the rain. I'll be intoxicated enough that I doubt I'll care.

We're taking the bus downtown since pretty much any bus you get on will end up at the Transit Station right next to Moore Square. Only problem being getting back since the retarded city bus system stops running around 9:30/10 on Saturday. Taxi cabin' it back I suppose.

4/26/2008 6:32:31 AM

4/27/2008 8:19:12 AM

Everyone wake up and tell me how wonderful it was!

4/27/2008 9:53:44 AM

it was good, however, the girlfriend lost her phone there

4/27/2008 11:24:49 AM

Did anyone else get a glass from last year? I got one with the 2007 date on it, and so did several other people I was with. Were they really too cheap to buy all new glasses? If I go to the 2008 beer fest I'd like to get a 2008 glass too.

4/27/2008 12:36:35 PM

^ I got a 2008 glass. it was good times. they did a good job of getting people in fast.
