I was thinking the same thing this year, but I have the shittiest luck with regards to raffles and lotteries and as I need to purchase x2 tickets I'll be headed up.

Was a good time with lurchingbeast last year and hoping that this year will be the same.

Vintage?

was one of you the guy that puked when the doors opened at 12?

 

[fear0251]

No, poor guy though, I think he was just a few in line in front of us. He was extremely wobbly right before 12, not noticing when he was bumping into people, etc. I heard his story was that a few of his Chicago friends were supposed to meet him, to hang out in line, but bailed. So, I guess that he soaked his misery in beer.

He did seem to hang onto his Surly Furious pretty well through the part of his ordeal that I witnessed. When we left, he was hanging out the corner of the property, sitting on a guardrail, rocking back and forth.

He was # 110 and we were 113-116 at Vintage. Not a bad night but I am ready for bed now.

We didn't as the only things that sounded interesting were sold out by the time we got processed, but I was pretty impressed with their draft offerings at last year's Great Taste ticket sale.

the only things that looked...... remotely drinkable... were the couple RIS's on their list. and at $15 per given my past experiences with their beer i just couldn't pull the trigger.

was curious how many people bought that imperial pumpkin rum rhubarb maple gose or whatever the **** abominations they were selling

I felt bad for the owner (?) who was definitely giving everyone the hard sell on purchasing some of the bottles from them. I like hanging out there for tickets the past couple of years, but I'm already spending $120 (plus gas and other expenses for the weekend) and don't necessarily want to spend anymore on bottles I wasn't planning on buying beforehand.

Skinny guy with tattoos who was helping folks when they arrived overnight / cleaning up / directing folks. When I got my tickets he was sitting on a bar stool by the Great Taste volunteers.

For a Thursday release that didn't have a lot of hype around it I'd hope so.

While I've heard of less than stellar reviews I'm certainly looking forward to trying this one if I can lock one down this weekend.

Of what? The lack of the line?

They opened for sales at 9:00.

I left at 10:30 or so. Nobody was there. About 150 I think had gone through when I left.

I saw you. I was in my car taking a conference call for work.

I saw you. I was in my car taking a conference call for work.

You two should have taken a picture of each other taking pictures of each other. That would have sufficed for pictures of the non-line.

 

[sherm10161]

Had I not had the conference call, I would have been out of there at about 9:10, bottles in hand.

Hard to drive with your laptop open.
