You Umbrella people can all **** off
God, the food was so good.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
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 shitty 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?

Good to know there are no hard feelings about the beer (Sam Adams Triple Bock, right?) causing you to boot for the first time in your life.
I'm actually interested in something like this. Although I don't have access to many WHALEZ bro I'd see Anjila and I heading down with Arlo, staying in a hotel with a nice pool or something and her allowing me to get **** wasted if it was all in the same building. Of course numerous other family activities would have to be planned, but keep me posted. I think I could swing it, and I'd be happy to contribute in whatever I can.Jill (and her husband Aaron) killed it last year as well. I'll let her know at bowling night that her playlist was appreciated by drunk asses other than my own
Yes! I'm sayin':

was this the legendary party I heard about on BA five years ago that involved two BAs inviting the internet into their home and someone wiped their ass with the shower curtain?
Nope, I don't remember who brought the 1994 Triple Bock to Gonzoillini 's house. Actually I didn't think the beer was that bad, but for some reason it was the kryptonite for powz87 that day. That Blue Lady, however . . .oh my god are you the person who brought that to the ****ing courtyard share?
that rivals Infectious Diseases In Cattle (MayorBieber's abomination of an imperial milk stout aged in scotch/mescal/ginger liqueur barrels) as one of the worst things I've had.
there's a post on BA right now where a guy admits to fishing his dark lord out of a porto and then got them stolen
Regular BA seemed to be passed over, but it's a safe bet, low risk, low relative hype for the fest, but huge payoff.
But seriously man, what is your friend going to do with $150? Pay a cable or phone bill? Why get a variant at all? At the very least, trade it up, otherwise the suffering through that whole ordeal and all the insanity of the day isn't worth a soggy $150 in place of a guaranteed variant. He should have just not come and saved the potential ticket for someone who cares.

At deer camp, you don't know where the bottom of the outhouse is so fishing for Ice House cans is a real trick.was this the legendary party I heard about on BA five years ago that involved two BAs inviting the internet into their home and someone wiped their ass with the shower curtain?
OMG. This guy is my leading nominee for Golden Neckbeard for outstanding achievement in extreme loss of dignity in pursuit and ultimate loss of a beer everyone hates.LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vegetarianism obviously isn't metal.-Food options were solid if you were a carnivore, but I actually felt bad for the vegetarians there. mishuggah had the sorriest looking tacos I've ever seen in my life.
Do not judge, good sir. I've been on that side of the wall. Its tough sleddin.Vegetarianism obviously isn't metal.
No judgment here at all, just pointing out the obvious.Do not judge, good sir. I've been on that side of the wall. Its tough sleddin.
Maybe too metal for metal?No judgment here at all, just pointing out the obvious.
Executive summary of his post:Scanned up-thread, and holy ****, this guy takes beer way too seriously:

with some of the stories about people being black out drunk, miscommunication between friends, forgetting where the tent they were drinking at was located.. how many of these "my beer got stolen" stories are actually "i was so ****ing hammered and forgot we drank that/i dropped it/i gave it to some random"?
at least 25%, right?
I can't quite follow the story enough to determine. he was able to grab the cardboard tote with four beers without incident, but had to "fish the bottle out of the port o potty" for the fifth, but says his variant "didn't fall in."
if he srsly like was digging in the liquid/solid area of the porto for a regular DL I'm floored. I'm not saying I wouldn't do it for a BVDL I dropped in there, but the regular DL would be left there.
idea for 2k17: re-wax empty BVDL bottles, drop them in portos, watch to see if people come out with them.
I got a couple pours, then got into the ridiculous food line to order one of everything and spend the rest of our tickets. Dark Lord ice cream is... interesting.
Hell, make it the bottle that got fished out, assuming one of you guys stole it.The 100% needs to be a traveling TB Award with name plates and everything.
One good one and one that's like the sacko
I thought I stole someone's Madeline but remembered today someone brought me one. I wondered why someone would put it in the pouch of my seat. Drunk powz is smarter than I give him credit for.Hell, make it the bottle that got fished out, assuming one of you guys stole it.
Sweet, chocolately, spicy, much dark fruit. It came in a Ben and Jerry's like container and I don't live too far from FFF so I just put it in my bag and took it home to re-freeze.I really wanted to try that ice cream. But I was already so ****ing soaked and wet and cold I couldn't even fathom getting colder eating ice cream. Interesting bad? or interesting good?
Guys, guys, guys!
There's a dude on BA that has the perfect solution to the problem of people having their bottles stolen:
I've reached out to Three Floyds with my potential solution and sincerely hope they take me up on it if they continue with this year's format:
I've proposed a "locker-type" arrangement where we'd be located on festival grounds providing a glorified coat-check operation that would allow for a safe and secure place to store one's goods for the day. Everything would be categorized and held under lock and key. In order to keep everything in order, your ticket number would be tagged on your belongings and required to pick them up later in the day. A premium service would be provided that would transport the remaining items to major cities around IN and IL the next day; stopping at key POPs (points of pick-ups).
I think I've been to a brewery release that did this. I just can't remember who it was.Guys, guys, guys!
