    Real talk: We are so grateful for the sober friends, pregnant/nursing mamas, and the generous Acts of Service homies who show up to this gathering and get everyone home safely. You’re an important part of the Big West web, and a big reason we can keep doing this thing.

    Real REAL talk: It costs the same amount for every guest to attend Big West no matter how much wine you drink. So PLEASE only purchase this ticket if you’re for real, absolutely-tootely NOT getting tooted. At all. Like, at allll.
