Dark Lord Day 2015

[atoulouk]

Boiler up, dude. We gon' get rowdy.

Always up for sharing beers with fellow boilers too!

 

[willseph]

Bummed I can't watch out of shape drunk guys stumble while trying to carry 2 cases with bombers on top.

Always go out of my way to point and laugh right in their face when they drop everything and create beer river.

So you must've seen me do this in 2013...

 

[RedCoffee]

Did you get GA tickets yet powz87?

 

[lb304854]

Sooooo it would only let me buy 1 ticket. Every time I clicked on 2 and typed in the code I got an error message.

Thus, Pasta needs ticket if someone has extra.

EDIT:
Nevermind. He got one late.

 

[beachstrength49]

Still holding out hope to find someone with an extra group ticket but snagged a GA ticket to insure I could at least get into the festival. Level of excitement has just gone to another level.

Possibly. Also very possible I pointed and heartily guffaw'd at your expense.

Apparent confirmation of $20/each bottles of regular, as well.

*popcorn*
*etc.*

Only surprise is that it took this long.

 

[NYCBUCKEYE]

IN !!

Jess got a ticket too so her and I will both be there this year. Hit us up if you want to grab beers.

For the first-timers (like myself) who don't have gear for the upcoming shitshow: check the Walgreens seasonal aisle for cooler backpacks. I picked up two for $20 apiece this morning from the Halsted/Clark/Barry location here in Chicago, after first going to the beer aisle and confirming, while two confused Walgreens employees wandered over and discussed if they should call loss prevention, that they'll easily hold 10-11 bombers apiece.

The handy thing is they come with a corkscrew/bottle opener and four plates, wine glasses, & flatware sets, so you can use 'em for picnics later on.

Disregard this - I started to doubt this thing's abilities and had visions of the bottom giving way & dumping all of my bottles onto the pavement, so I loaded it full of test bombers this evening. One of the straps snapped under the strain almost immediately after I put it on. I returned them both. Stupid POS.

Amazon it is!

 

[jlwalker20]

Got two of these in the mail today. I will go put 9 of my finest bombers in them and jump up and down on it and swing it like a bola and report back with what the repair quote for my apartment is.

The media tag didn't show anything for me, but the code points to this one.

I just pulled the trigger on two of these myself.

They look sturdier than the bag I used for the last two years. I also don't plan to bring a case worth of bombers IN, I hope at least half are gone while standing in line. Too much good **** on tap to rely on stuff I'm bringing.

Good to know. I threw a 3-pack of Flexi Freeze sheets onto my order - I figure I'll bring a few NG fruit beers each with a frozen sheet wrapped around them, and let whatever else I bring get cooled by association.

 

[jlwalker20]

Honestly, I would just stick to frozen water bottles if you're only bringing three bottles. Which fruits are you bringing? WBR is far and beyond the best of the four IMO.

I've got WBR, Serendipity, and one last Strawberry Rhubarb on hand, so I'll bring those. But if I happen to be in WI before DLD, I'll grab a second WBR and leave the Serendipity, because you are right, WBR is delicious.

In addition to the 3 fruits, I was thinking I'd bring a Straight Jacket and a Bean Gene, and if I've got space in the bag, a regular Speedway. Thoughts/feedback?

 

[Steve2]

Apparently it's official. Gene will be joining us.

Sounds awesome man. Bring a Nuthulu too!

Ha! That I can't do...but I can bring a 2014 BCBS and a baggie full of hazelnuts.

Deal. Do you have a french press? If not, patm1986 will need to assist

You can all thank blondie005 for being a kind and understanding wife and allowing me to take yet another weekend beer trip.
