    Great, I didn't lose the question, but, lost the suggested answer in trying to catch up on the thread, at least we're on the same train of thought.

    It's all the excitement. It's been scientifically provent that your brain can't handle all the Awesome that is PAX and it starts dropping less needed skills, like paying attention to anything but PAAAAAXXXXX!

    Happily on Sabbatical. Don't bug me.

    Man, I'm not going to make it to the expo hall until after the snack meet

    This is probably a long shot since it's pretty last-minute at this point, but I'd LOVE a jar of Sanders Classic Caramel sauce http://www.sanderscandy.com/Classic-Caramel-Topping-p/15375-p.htm

    I know it's readily available in Detroit and the website says it's in some grocery stores in the midwest too. Is anyone from the area wiling to pick up some for me?

    I'll be carrying around Canadian chocolate bars* to share all weekend (or as long as they last) but I haven't picked up anything super special to exchange.

    *Aero, Smarties, Glosette, Caramilk, Crunchie, Coffee Crisp, Dairy Milk
    Looks like Sanders is sold in Macy's around here (and one specialty store near my place I can check as well.) I can see if they have the caramel topping after I get off work today (since I gotta make a few stops for pre-PAX stock up anyway tonight.) Though, I am planning on attending the World of Capcom panel, so I wouldn't be available for the food exchange. I'll reply tonight whether or not I find any.

    I think the sheer number of last minute posts in this thread didn't help. Seriously don't know what else i'm doing this week that isn't pax related, even though i'm pretty sure i'm working 2.5 days and have other things i should be doing.

    The to beer snobs, any interest in Unibroue beer from Quebec? They are Belgian style ales bottled and corked abby-style. La Fin du Monde and La Maudite ( translate the End of the World and The Damned ) are a punch in the face of flavor and of course, alcohol. Maybe I'll pick up a couple and bring 'em just in case.

    unibroue.jpg

    Yeah i would love to trade for a bottle of these. Was just talking to someone about these and they said they are great.
    So we kind of lost the question of where/when for the beer & booze exhange. I vote for 1:15 PM Friday, before the food exchange, in the Westin lobby. That gives us 30 mins to exchange and 15 mins to get to the food exhange as a group.

    I like this idea.. I guess im gonna have to move some things around.. I was gonna see Final Fantasy Panel but i guess things are gonna have to be changed.

    Hah, so I'm dumb. The Capcom panel is at noon, not 2 (kept seeing the 2 in 12 and thinking 2pm for some reason.) So, I will be there with your jar of Sanders caramel topping stuff Mai. I may pickup some other stuff tomorrow as well to share with everyone else!

    Did anyone happen to get a hold of Damtuh Ginger Tea?

    I checked the local Korean grocery store here, and unfortunately they didn't have the Damtuh Ginger Tea. They had other Damtuh teas, but not the ginger flavour. :( Sowee.

    OK, I have my haul ready:

    Chocolate! (and some candy and gum):
    uxv9iyel.jpg

    Chips! (and crackers and cake)
    AhczWhJl.jpg

    And - I'm not sure if I should bring these. I saw these Dragonball Z drinks at the store, and thought someone might be interested in them. Let me know if you wants! Otherwise, I will leave this extra weight at home.

    Looking forward to sharing and snacking on Friday! :D

    Due to the overwhelming nature of everyone from the north bringing all dressed and ketchup, I've changed things up and i'll be bringing a couple bags of PC chips (buffalo wing and general tao chicken) as well as my 2 22oz beers and some mini-chocolate bars. I don't think anyone else has requested I bring anything specific, (if so, tag me and yell at me/PM).

    Officially on vacation as of tonight, and I managed to pick up quite the batch for all you beer swappers. My last minute requests, if at all possible to attain, are:
    Pliny The Elder (Russian River Brewing Company) or really anything from them just because of how hard it would be to get here...
    Any type of beer from Three Floyds Brewing Company
    Live Oak Hefeweizen (out of Texas, absolute best hefe I've ever had)
    Any type of beer from Alaskan Brewing Company
    Bison Organic Honey Basil Ale (Berkley, CA)
    Lastly anything from Hill Farmstead Brewery (Vermont) as I never got a chance to stop there when I visited.

    It's a shot in the dark, but if anyone can pull this off you'd be my hero. Oh, and just so there is no confusion about being compensated...

    For the alcohol exchange I have Switchback, Vermont Red Stout and *possibly* Heady Topper. For the food exchange proper I have Ver-mints and an assortment of Lake Champlain Chocolates. I can do one more shop in the morning for last minute requests. I do not have the ability to get any more Heady Topper FYI.

    As for my skimpy haul, I'm bringing along three packs of Jaffa cakes earmarked for @Decius, a pack of Kracie's Super Soda gum, a pack of Mikakuto Chocolate candies, and a pack of Hobnobs.

  • xipetotecxipetotec Registered User regular
    So wait, if I'm keeping it in my pack, I'll be allowed on the show floor with beer right?

    I didn't manage to get a room at the Westin, but want in on the beer exchange. I understand we can't be cracking 'em open there, but if I keep it sealed and hidden, I'll be good right?

    If you can get some Canadian maple-based stuff (I honestly don't know of anything else specifically Canadian in snacking that hasn't already been mentioned, and could survive a trip + a day or two) that'd be awesome, but the stuff you said you were bringing in your other post I'm totally down to eat as an exchange!

    I shouldn't be hard to find. I will be one of (maybe the only...?) the black guy(s). If there are multiples of black males, I will be the one with the racing stripe tortoiseshell frames with reddish-brown stems. If another black guy is wearing the that, then I've obviously been cloned and that would just be weird.

    I don't think most of the swappers have rooms in the Westin. We're not doing it there because we have rooms, we're doing it there because it's attached to the convention center and they shouldn't have a problem with us swapping sealed alcohol containers somewhere in the lobby. At least that's the impression I got.

    We should be a bit more inconspicuous than the lobby imo, maybe up near the Mez area? I'm sure the hotel would frown upon alcohol swapping right in front of the front desk...

    Honestly, I think everybody's over thinking the beer exchange. There's no bag searches at BCEC and as long as we're not being asses, I don't think the Westin will even notice us or care if they did.

    That said, we could easily meet at a mezzanine table. They should be set up all weekend and there will be more room there anyway.
