Dark Lord 2016

[disapowzment]

Our group was clustered around this section in the South line, and we parked at the Jewish Society building in the background of the pic. Great times in this area of the line that morning and thanks to everyone around for sharing fun stuff.

LT & Myself getting our yearly picture with Benny Hill, one of these days I've got to compile these from the past 6-7 years.

Myself and Alex (@masterski) who is everyone's favorite Toronto / Chicagoland beer nerd.

Had a good time as always sharing beers with friends outside the gates and at the compound with all the regular faces. Weather was ****** and the lines were stupid after a point early in the day, but made the most of it before our departure around 3pm.

****. I missed Benny this year. On the plus side I've seen him at every other beer related thing in the past year.

I met Alex when I went up to Toronto for a training in February, great guy and knows his Chicagoland beer history

lets not forget when you disappeared for a few hours. I thought I lost you forever. Glad you're local to me. Because I was in no condition to drive anywhere but home this morning.

I stumbled over to the place where the building met the fence and sat down. I don't even know how long I was there but I remember two times some people came by and asked if I was okay.

I was half-tempted to make some jokes about finding the shitlord who stole my backpack but with how much theft was going on and how many legal threats were apparently flying, I'm glad I didn't!

Proposal: next year, on the day of DLD, let's rent out a block of rooms & a conference room at a hotel in one of the near Chicago suburbs, and have an epic anti-DLD bottle share. It'll basically be what most of us go to DLD for anyway, only without the ****** weather and exposure to the greater beer community*.

For the same price as this year's DLD tickets (or previous year's ticket+bottles+food+draft pours), we can each probably get half a room, the conference room, a ton of Kirkland bottled water, and a food spread (and/or a bunch of pizzas), and all the room in the world for beer pong, bags, cards, tunes, whatever.

Thoughts?

I like this idea a lot

I'm just really glad your keys and cell phone wasn't in there. I was more worried about just leaving you with nothing and no way to get back to the hotel.

I'd love to see a sting operation set up where someone leaves an unattended back pack and when some low life scum tries to steal it he gets his ass kicked by about 5 people.

I don't normally condone violence but that may be the only way some of those ***** learn a lesson to not steal from others.

Nah the only thing I really wanted when I woke up was my beef jerky that I had stashed in there. The only bottle I had left was Deth's Tar and I knew by that point in the day most people would probably be refusing pours of it anyway.

All in all it was actually a big help to me because I never had to go back through the nightmare bag-check line.

 

[biglobo8971]

Had to clean off some dust today, Team Minnesota. Hopefully see some of you guys Saturday.

Miss her and you

My synopsis. I am sorry some shitbaga decided to take other people's ****. When the core compound group (elkhunter36 , woodchopper, etc) tried to create a friendly environment to come and share and have a great time became the destination for so many people, I / we kind of figured out that things have changed. We tried to provide a great place with a safe place to hang out. The weather really affects this as lots of people scurry like rats to any war, apot they can. I had a blast. My small issues aside, I love seeing returning members of the compound. Hope everyone that had some enjoyed the breakfast and hot dogs, brats, burgers and other food items we provides. I know it saves some of you. Thank you from one of the founding fathers of the compound for helping making this year a great time.

On a side note. If I ever find out who stole other people's **** and took advantage of our generosity, I will ******* murder any hopes you have of being welcome at another beer event I ever go to. Thanks again dfor those who made this year's compound the blast it was.

 

[tosh1]

I love all of you, and hate all of you equally.


Mainly hate....distain and loathing. **** you lot.


Can't wait to do this ***** one day. Sounds awesome.

This also applies to the usual people pulling the hypocritical aggressive beer regulation committee ********. I would have had a different reaction to what Lansman experienced. I commend him for restraint.

The best part of that is when JDF started walking towards the front of my truck and people started to notice what was going on. I wish I knew who the one guy was, but I think it was him, elkhunter36, woodchopper, Rizdac and myself standing there almost daring him to do something. The cops looked at him, then all of us standing behind Kevin and told him if he didn't leave he was going to jail for disturbing the peace. Listening to the cops tell him that there is nothing illegal about bringing a dog to a beer festival and him trying to drunkenly lawyer pretty much made my entire weekend.

A 'lawyer' attempting to argue in front of police is a ******* moron that has no business practicing law.

If you or your friends **** got stolen and didn't end up with any, shoot me a pm. If everyone is taken care of from friends already, I'll turn this into a lif.

Sad I didn't make it over to the compound again this year but I had to babysit some first timers who despite the forcast wore jeans and hoodies. Still had a great time. And on a side note, if Burger Antics was closer to home id most likely be broke.

 

[DoctorM1]

Had a great time despite the fact I lost my wallet that had my ID, credit cards, and key fob...... I am most likely the last one left here at the Munster Hampton Inn. Spare key arrives via FedEx overnight tomorrow morning at 8. See yall next year!!

 

[Doc1]

It was sunny and pleasant at Hunahpu's Day this year.

This was posted by franch about you-know-who back during the 2014 Bourbon County release, but seems to apply pretty well here:

god damn do i hate bottom feeder fuckbag lawyers who make all of us look bad.

 

[dman127]

Long shot, but I will try - Lost wallet Saturday. Credit/debit cards all cancelled and no damage, thankfully. Had $280 in cash. First name David. PM me if you found it. Reward if all intact.

Also lost an blue Igloo backpack (one strap torn) with a 16 Huna, a Brother Sionge, a Beat and more. Reward beers if anyone found this. Hard to say if it was stolen or I simply left it behind.

My own damn fault - shouldn't have stayed past 6:00 Too damn old!

After reading the last 10 pages or so I've come to the conclusion that DLD is the worlds largest gathering of lightweight drinkers. Still waiting for someone to post that they're still wandering around aimlessly trying to find their car.

Proof.

 

[cfh64]

Gotta say I'm pretty disappointed in the lack of funny stories. Between people losing things, scum bags stealing, standing in piss due to lack of bathrooms in line, north entry issues, somewhat lame guest taps, the rain, etc this is more depressing than anything.

I don't know what I was thinking, just another typical DLD.

The days of telling you how handsome you are IRL while Pasta runs up and sacktaps TurdFurgison and the look of confusion on your face are over.

If this hotel share thing in Chicago doesn't pan out I'm considering going next year despite the horror stories. I'll bring a ray of fucken sunshine from the Lone Star state. Introductions begin with tip touching and perhaps some doding.

additional lightweight stories for yr amusement:

sharing with a cool group under the metal tent. guy is super hyped that I brought grey Monday and says he'll take "literally as big of a pour as you'll share. seriously. I've never had this and love the other ones. like fill this glass." *shakes a 20 ounce cup around*. I probably poured eight to ten ounces in there. not an hour later he's screaming incoherently about how he's the designated driver and his buddy escorts him out of the tent as he almost falls. so, uh, sorry?

the combination of no tables, crowded conditions, and bottles discarded on the ground made the metal tent pretty hazardous after a while. a giant dood was brought down by the weight of his backpack and his flailing about and landed on some discarded bottles.

there was a dude in the little tent near the end who kept putting his thumb in his dark lord and holding it in front of peoples' mouths for some reason. that was fantastic.

at the courtyard bottle share, there was a small group of the most epic shitlords that could compete with the #str8grossin lawyer squad. they were getting ready to pack it in until they saw a BA Abraxas chilling in an ice bath. they proceeded to sit right in front of it and ask loudly every 5 minutes "SO ISN'T IT COLD ENOUGH NOW? IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE COLD." other gems they said:
"yeah, I think I'm about done with this share. like, some guy brought de garde, am I supposed to be impressed?"
"I have a KBBS gold wax and KBBS silver wax. I am going to sell them for $4,000 so I can buy a new car."
"What whales have you had recently? I have had [lists only **** from TG]"
"Those guys over there *gestures to my buddies, including the guy who brought the BAA*, they're new money. we're old money. you can just tell."

Im going to be first to say that if you want to come to the midwest premier beer festival its 100% Gonzoillini and trickytunadicky birthday party. Hands down the best thing I've been to in the last 9 months. Momma D makes the best mac and cheese, theres 2 bathrooms that flush, the LT, and everyone from TB

No smarmy twats allowed too, which is nice.

Always remember, the ring wants to get back to the Dark Lord...
