[TallDan]

I need one more ticket if anyone has one! PM me!

I PMed earlier. If anyone else is looking for an extra ticket, PM me, I may have an extra. (I may even have two.)

I'm trying to get him a message to see if he still wants to go.

Yeah, I didn't get a response from him either.

So, if anyone is looking for an extra ticket, LMK. I'm willing to negotiate price if you don't want all of the bottles.

Related: I need to stop buying extra tickets assuming that i'll have people that want to go, this is three years in a row now that i'm looking to get rid of tickets...

Happened to me last year. Luckily they were only $30 tickets.

I've left and reentered with a different ticket to get a second allotment before. I can do it again.

That's why people are always looking to get in, some people get multiples, while others pay exorbitant prices to buy on the secondary market.

He has made other plans. Wish We could have hooked up earlier. Thanks anyway! I am sure someone there will buy it

Let me know asap. I am apart of a facebook DLD group and can get your extra sold immediately.

 

[MapleGroveAleworks]

If anyone has a ticket they would like to sell me I would be greatly appreciative. My friends all got in and I'm going with them, but wasn't able to get a ticket. Thanks!

Text conversation with my wife just a little bit ago:

Wife: Is 9:47 too early to start drinking?
Me: Nope.
Me: Live every day like it's Dark Lord Day.

No kidding, we'll be starting drinking at 6am or so on Saturday. It's the only day a year that I can go that long.

100% chance of rain now. I know it still has time to change, but went and bought some rain gear just in case.

Waterproof rain boots at walmart $20

I just wore jeans and a nylon jacket last year, didn't think it was that bad.... I was cold at first, but noticed it less and less throughout the day.

Last year we were responsible and waited until 8...

It's DLD... it has to be crazy weather. Pack your shorts, snow pants, rain gear, sunscreen, flip flops, sweatshirts, spray bottle fans and mittens

 

[b-boy]

This sucks. Last year was a muck-fest. At least it won't be 30F this year. I nearly froze to death last year.

 

[treacheroustexan]

Yeah I'm happy it will be warmer. I just bought a few ponchos from dicks sporting goods for $2 and a pair of waterproof boots. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

 

[TallDan]

From FFF's twitter:

"We have a special release available in the kiosk today. Bloobs, a blueberry sour ale, in 750ml bottles. Limit 1 per person and $30 a bottle."

If anyone is there today and is willing to pick up an extra bottle for me, I'd love to try it.

 

[PatrickGoss]

Gentlemen,

I hope to see you all tomorrow. None of us will remember it, but it shall be a good time. I'll be sharing beers at the holiday Inn tonight if anyone is nearby, I'm the 6'4" guy with brown hair and a red beard... look like an unkempt shop foreman or a well groomed Viking warrior. I am taking what for me would be about three months worth of beer to get me through the weekend... no mega whales... but some whales. I need to go catch a nap since I've been up for twenty hours and leave in four.

Cheers!

 

[conpewter]

Hope to see a few folks tomorrow

Only have a phone # from Patrick so hopefully I'll at least catch up with him, anyone else that wants to hang out you can PM me your phone # and email addy and I'll share/add you to the admittedly tiny spreadsheet

Group B, hope I get one of the vanilla variants, we'll see.

Planning on bring to share:
2013 Dark Lord
2011 stone vertical epic
Homebrew:
ESB
RIS
Sweet Hard Cider
Bochet mead

 

[CrimsonYeti]

I'll be around tomorrow myself. In group B also.

 

[Munster51]

I'll be the one walking around with Isenblatter embroidered on my bulletproof vest.

 

[treacheroustexan]

Awesome shares last night..

If you see me, stop me. Unfortunately I didn't bring homebrew though. I'l be in black jeans with a grey sweatshirt that says Margot & the nuclear so and so's. Knee high rubber boots and most likely (hopefully not) a poncho haha.

Rough weather today but good company. Had a blast despite a mishap where 3F tried denying me my bottles. *shakes head*

[CrimsonYeti]

I had no issues . It was great.

[treacheroustexan]

My hands almost fell off. Forgot gloves.

 

[brewpool]

What happened?

I tore the stub off my pass right in front of them to give to them. They proceeded to tell me only they could tear them. I replied that they clearly watched me tear it and my pass had not been scanned yet but they told me too bad. It was ridiculous with others in line calling them out for being surly. I ended up leaving the line, reentering, seeing a new guy and had no issue whatsoever. Just a couple jerks on a power trip I suppose. Whatever. It all ended up fine in the end.

 

[TallDan]

It still doesn't make sense that standing in line in terrible weather for overrated beer is any fun, but it was again this year.

It was cool to meet a few of you in person, hopefully in my intoxicated state I wasn't making TOO much of a fool of myself.

 

[Munster51]

Well I only ruined one pair of uniform pants after some ******* drunk, who had not gotten his DL yet, decided he wanted to fight one of the security guys working there. But all in all a good day. Only 4 arrests in 9 years of the event. I thank everyone for keeping their groups in line.
