I cannot honestly fathom anyone paying that much. I mean, $500 goes a long way to actually buying a ticket to Belgium!

By sell out in 5 minutes I am sure they mean that it'll be promised to the people waiting in line before the store opens and will take 5 minutes to cash them out :P

Just called the Ancaster location and was told they do not have it and he doesn't know when they will get it. From his tone he sounded kind of annoyed...I might not have been the first person to call him this morning asking that question.

Has anyone started calling the LCBOs yet to determine if any have stock? I'd call myself, but can't really get away with that from work.

The woman on the phone I spoke with believed that a case is 4 six packs. So at the oakville location they are expecting 9 cases or 36 6 packs. I think I should be able to snag one.

Well I have already informed my boss that I might leave without notice to get this. And I have already resolved to driving elsewhere, so if it shows up anywhere within an hour and a half's drive I'll be there.

Hey Rudy,

By all means keep us posted on your progress. I personally don't get over to Buffalo as much as I used too, but I would love to stop by and check you guys out once you're up and running.

Cheers,

Ken
