parking

i had no idea what was going on.
I was on level three and just sat in my car not moving for 30 minutes. Then all of the sudden cars stated going down a different row so I backed up and followed them, and the gates were open and everyone was just cruising out. Nobody paid for anything

I had a beer and went to bed...IMO it is stupid to have that event in a crowed area like Boston. They should have it at a fairground with free parking in a field not in a parking garage setting. Harpoon can sell beer anyplace it does not have to be in a city.
Glad I stayed home.

boy you are getting grumpy in your old age.

it is at the brewery. i think that is pretty cool. there was certainly a snaffu with the pkg, but all and all it was great. it is super easy to get to and not a crowded part of boston.

Having the event at the brewery is awesome and I hope they never change that. They just need to figure out a better solution for pkg.

I was happy to go into town rather than having to drive out to some fair ground in east bum. Made sense to promote their brewery in boston.

I parked in the lot down the street and got out no problem

Were there signs in the lot saying to bring your ticket and pay before returning to your car? There usually are and its usually alot quicker that way. Its pretty common. That's how alot of the garage's in boston are. If they didn't have signs, then shame on them. If they did or if it said something on the ticket, shame on everyone who ignored them. They did announce it at the striperfest over the PA too.

As far as changes to striperfest (pretty much what's already been said):

lose the band, or quiet them down somehow
more food vendors
more seating
have the awards earlier in the event
