CJ Q&A

Ok, it's a long shot, but it doesn't hurt to ask. 

First of all, my name is Steve.  I live out West but I'm originally from Pittsburgh.  And I wrote to you a few months back saying that I have been timing my trips home to coincide with the Pennsylvania Brewer's Festival down at Penn.  This year, I wanted to go to the Big Pour instead and wanted to know when it was held.

You told me the date, I got plane tickets right away, and yes, I bought my wife and I a pair of tickets for the 5pm session right away on August 3rd, at least when the website started working.  Everything's great!  Then I got a call from my mother.  Turns out, she wants to join us.  I never thought about it.  She accepted my offer to buy her a designated driver ticket. 

Here it comes... You guys are sold out.  So I'm asking flat out if there's anything you can do to add one more.  I feel terrible... and it doesn't hurt to ask.  So, please let me know.

For the record, she's under 5'2" and won't be any trouble at all!  -- Steve

Steve --  And so it begins...  We're very glad that you and your wife will be attending the 5pm Session of the Big Pour.  Your story is very compelling and we have to admit we have a strong fondness for mothers.  Despite all that, the 5pm session is indeed sold out.  The only suggestion we have is that you might want to consider buying three tickets for the 12pm session which is not sold out.  You could give your evening tickets to your two closest friends back here in the Burgh and rack up a really good IOU.  You'll be happy, your friends will be happy and most importantly... your mother will be happy.  -- Cozmo
