My "Libations" HIPS Box

I still haven't heard from my "Libations" HIPS box that was at Jingle Boxing Canton.

I had to leave early that Saturday and asked if the box would be taken home by soneone and given to me later, or be taken to ELF in Knoxville the following week. Rumor has it that someone intended to take it to ELF, which was wonderful, since I could not attend. But I don't think it made it there.

The only reports I have seen are from the finds on Dec 7. Nothing else. It is disguised as a Fosters Ale can which opens at the bottom and has a logbook and 4 stamps inside. If anyone remembers taking this with you to carry to ELF, please advise. Also, if by chance, someone threw it away thinking it was trash, please let me know that as well. I would just like to know what happened to it.

Thanks
AB

I remember these stamps. I help to clean up, but didn't see the ale can.
To help folks remember...the stamps were at the back far table of the court room.
Hope you find out what happened to them.

I don't know if it helps but I can say with certainty it was not at the ELF event. :(

It wasn't at ELF. That i know - and Southern Oracle said so first. So that's pretty much a given. That means it's a Georgia mystery. . .

too bad - that sounds like fun. . .

Wished it was at ELF, sounds like a fun HIPS box. I'm certain it wasn't brought to ELF nor sent to me for ELF. Good luck on finding it!

Now I wish I'd spent more time in the courthouse at Jingle Boxing--we only got a couple of the HIPS boxes, and that one sounds like it was something special! I really hope it turns up.

I got to the courthouse pretty late (after dark; about 6:30?) and stamped those stamps. I was sitting at the judge's table, but put it back on the event stamp table. That is the last I saw of the "box". Has redcurl been able to go back in the court room to check for you?

It will be a shame if it is not found. It is a very clever box. Good luck and keep us posted...

I'm just afraid it was inadvertantly turned into a traditional mystery hide at the bottom of a landfill in Cherokee County.

I was lucky enough to get to stamp them, but they were with the can when I finished with them. I am sure that they will rise to the surface soon, keep the faith until everyone gets a chance to catch their breath after the holidays.

Bump. (am I allowed to Bump?) Still haven't heard from anyone that they have the box, or know of its whereabouts. If it was kidnapped, I will pay a ransom.....Maybe.

What does "Bump" mean? (Sorry I am behind the tech slang time line). Lol

Bump just means adding a comment to a thread to "bump" it up to the top to be noticed again. Over time, adding a new comment has devolved into just saying bump lol.

Sorry. I was just trying to keep this up there in front of everyone for a while. I don't have good luck with event boxes. My little Cootie from one other event I attended got lost also. Now this one seems to be.

Must be doing something wrong.

Cooties don't do well at Georgia events. Sadly, most of my muppets disappeared immediately. You're not doing anything wrong--just having bad luck!

Nothing to be sorry for. I just didn't know what "Bump" meant. Now I do! :-) hope your box turns up soon.
