Big Bang Bar

TOG,

Thanks for the updates.

As before, is there any chance we can get information on what dates have been eliminated based on current progress? Are the next two weekends even a possibility, or are they unlikely at this point? Is May out?

I really appreciated it when you eliminated April a few weeks back, as it let me plan my weekends without contingencies. Any additional similar information would be helpful.

Thanks!

'you're not dreaming, it's real'... 'yes you are it's a cruel joke'.. 'no it's real''... 'ha ha no it's fake..''' shut up fool it's real'.. 'dude, get off the lsd, it's real'.. 'dude back at you, uou've been waiting how long, it can't be real'... 'snap out of it fool, and make your plans now!'

Ah the ramblings of a sick mind..

Will anyone be taping the pickup and other festivities? Also maybe some shots of a herd of machine waiting on pickup and some being loaded for shipment by truck.

I'm going up on Thursday and will capture as much as I can with the HD camera. I'll be using it in the video, but if anyone wants an un-cut web copy I'll hook y'all up.

Robert,

I agree. That is very high especially dock to dock. (Not whining, just an opinion.)

I am not a math expert, so please forgive me if I am wrong, but the regular shipping cost without the discount would be roughly $1448 dock to dock (based on the LA shipping quote). Well, I can say I will never use them to ship a game!

I usually use Forward Air. I have sent several crated pins (500 plus lbs.) back and forth to TX (from Washington DC) for less than $250 dock to dock.

Last year, prior to receiving the shipping arangements, I received a quote of around $600 from NAVL to deliver the four local BBB's to one address in Washington DC.

Of course I am with Robert here, I will be happy to pay whatever the cost ABF cost is.

I am looking forward to receiving the pin. To all those are picking up this week-end, enjoy!

fwiw,
I don't know about other shipping costs, just passing on what I'm told...
