Dark Lord 2016

[ChicagoGuy]

Kind of late to let us know part of the festival is open at 9AM.

It's also going to take place at the Javits Center, which I'm pretty sure is in NYC. Or is it the Javitzef? I'm confused.

Do they really have a way to prevent doubling of alloc for someone with two tickets? Just learned a coworker (serious) is under mistaken assumption that is allowed. Wanted to check before I help him sell it and have to coordinate everything since he's not on any site/page.

Jokes on them, I'm dyslexic

So people are really taking to calling BVDL "marshmallow handjee" which is putting a mild damper on my yearly enjoyment of searching the other site for hilarious offers. i mean it was on the label last year, but I guess fff new nicknames for all the variants have really gotten people's nips hard.

on a side note, I feel some mild sadness not attending this year. had to choose between this or a trip to HF in march and even though I know I made the right decision, i could really use a pequods right now!

Hampton in Munster? I'd love for you to pour some of your nectar into my mouth tonight ;-)

FYI the courtyard is hosting a bottle share in the Chicago Room tonight with the blessing of the hotel so that's pretty good. and I don't have to drive from a bottle share!

 

[ChicagoGuy]

If anyone's wandering around the north side tonight, the Yard House at Clybourn & Halsted has Parabola on tap and a bottle of Utopias open ($22 for 2.5oz). I feel like I'm in Schaumburg, but my kids seem pleased with the mac & cheese.

That's no lie, worth the trip to Chicago by itself.

Is this tent a thing to come to?

 

[RedCoffee]

Shuttling over shortly. I'll be in a red Buccaneers sweater until it rains. Then I'll be hidden under a tarp shirt. Say hi!

 

[elkhunter36]

Starting to rain now

Did you learn imgur from FTowne ?

So when are you guys gonna start putting up these DL variants on BA with your troll accounts? I have lube in hand and am doing back excercises.

Can't wait to see the trading forums over the next 48 hours!

That's ridicurous. But you can win

 

[Lansman]

The north gate line is atrocious.

I'm still at Wendy's.

If it makes you guys feel less cursed, it's raining in San Diego.

 

[DoctorM1]

So where is the compound?

 

[cfh64]

I haven't had anything to drink in 2 weeks but Im very tempted today. Sitting back and waiting for the trading forums to blow up along with the drunk posts and stories should be fun, it's like tailgating from my couch.

Don't let me down TB'ers. With less moderation here I'm expecting big things.

Over/under on arrests: 3

Over/under on ambulance rides: 6 (I heard one already happened)


I love the stories about Dark Lord day. For some it's the best event ever, for others, it's a nightmare.

JEG just fell off a makeshift seat camping out at the front of the brewpub line.
