Dark Lord Day 2015

[DoctorM1]

I need to stop looking at this thread, just making me sad. This will be the first year I'm not going since '11. Apparently having a baby due the weekend after DLD is a reason for me to not travel 3 hours? At least that's what my wife tells me.
Sad feelz

Family road trip!?!

 

[user 306926]

Your description reminds me of this...

Spot on.
And for all packs to be seen at DLD.

Family road trip!?!

Ha, she's come with me every year and generally likes it, but I don't think she feels too bad on missing this one, or me missing it for that matter. I should be more excited for the baby due, but I just keep wishing we could move it back a week or two....is that bad

Game Over indeed.

 

[RedCoffee]

Im sure you'll be with me most the day..... So this

You don't own me!

Jesus...and here I was thinking of bringing 6-7 bombers.

Don't worry, I'm only bringing 3 (plus assorted smaller format crammed in). My pack is small and my group cannot be convinced that bringing extras to share is customary. #REPPINNEWMONEYWHAAAAT

You won't want to walk it. Lansing isn't the worst town, but you probably don't want to be walking at night, drunk, with a bunch of stuff on you.

OMG YES DAT AVI.

 

[gameover170]

Game Over indeed.

Touche....touche....

 

[gameover170]

Game Over indeed.

I own both of these shirts:

In a surprising turn of events, my tickets actually arrived. Have fun in the will call line, suckers!

Time to see how many bottles I can fit in my backpack.

A dirty hippie former coworker of mine told me that the Burning Man equivalent are called "sparkle ponies", because they remember to pack all their sparkly bikini tops and fuzzy boots and ****, but "forget" to pack food, water, sleeping bags, tents, sweatshirts, drugs/booze, etc., and end up relying on the kindness of strangers all week.

Unless your pals plan on actually paying for drafts all day, in which case they're not mooches, but are kinda silly.

Convince them that they really should bring some stuff to share.

Pls.

Sharing your tent and sleeping bad with someone wearing a sparkly bikini top and fuzzy boots could wind up alright...

Option A. I expect they will be thirsty at times.

I've tried. Endlessly. Even sent the survival guide from post 1. Deaf ears. Not bringing anything but cash. I'm the insane one. Etc.

Though to be fair it's just one guy who's vehement about it. Haven't had much communication with the others.

Pls forward descriptions day of then. Will give em the ol passive aggro side eye.

 

[willseph]

It looks like my +1 is now unable to go, so I have a spare ticket for Group B. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM. Preference to guys who I've interacted with before.

As it is, I feel like I'm setting them up for awkwardness and an enormous amount of **** talk because new money is bringing newer money to DLD. I feel like physical descriptions could make it too easy.

I mean I pour stuff to whoever asks for some no matter what, but I'd like to be able to feign knowing them somehow, then namedrop you for acknowledgement and heel toe away.

The idea of people coming with nothing on purpose to grift cheeses me off.

In this particular bring-nothing evangelist's case, it's more that he has no idea what level of sharing occurs. "There will be beer on tap, right? And it's all good beer? Then why bring any beer?" I don't think he even realizes, despite repeated efforts, that this is standard operating procedure. The guy has no intention of being a mooch - he just stubbornly refuses to acknowledge that moochable situations will be occurring with regularity. After all, I haven't been so what do I know?

Oh in that case find me on the South end at some point and will pour some shot for you guys. Gotta show em how it works for next year!

 

[TalkBeerJesus]

I highly encourage this.

Do they usually release a map of the fest layout beforehand? I'm a DLD noob who doesn't like going into new places without knowing how everything's laid out.

I think they've added it to the website the week of DLD for the last couple of years?

If not, there will be ginormous canvas sign maps at both entrance gates.

Is Heady Pong happening again this year?

 

[StevonHanby]

I was going to stop by my local grocery store that make Beer Brats with Jackie o's Chomo. Will anyone have a grill I could use in trade for some beer brats or beer love?
