Surly Darkness Day 2013

We're at the first set of biffys after the gates, next to the Prius.

 

I'll be getting there around 330-4 and will have some good stuff to share. (Almanac Sours, FFF Toxic Revolution, Indeed Haywire, Pentagram, possibly a Masala Mama growler ) Will be with two other buddies a ways back in line I assume. We will have a little propane heater set up. Stop by.

 

So is it still worth coming out at this point, or should I get a couple hours of sleep and come out around 7?

 

Damn I haven't been up this early in a while. How's it looking?

 

The crowd that's awake has definitely died down. Basically if you were not already here, 7am is probably a good time to arrive and get in line BEHIND EVERYONE ELSE. Don't be that guy.

 

I just opened a Masala Mama growler at the end of the line if anyone would like a taste.

 

Been here since 5...hanging out by the Shasta camper. Check that. I'm technically in my car, the fiances car shift just got over. It's a good sized line but I'm guessing once people wake up it'll condense a lot.

 

I figured more people would be posting updates. Hoping to hear some progress on the line to help decide what time I should come down. With DD comes a bunch of older vintages of Darkness up for sale on Craigslist, most ridiculously overpriced. Out-of-towners may be interested though.

 

If you're looking for an update to the line status, I'd say it's either at 1500 already, or will be very soon. Line already raps all the way around the back and almost to the entry street.

 

Anyone trading?

 

I've got 3 cans of Heady left up for grabs. Shoot me a text 612-490-1648

 

Thanks for the update. You saved me from driving down there at 10. (damn overnight shift)

 

They still have a few left...

 

They still have wrist bands?

 

Year two of staying home and sleeping in. Although I do miss getting 6 bottles. I dont miss being cold and hungover by the time the gates open for the fest lol.

 

Its hard to tell I am sure. Last year it wrapped all the way around to the street entrance and they had wristbands till 11. But it did look more condensed this year a bit when I left last night.

Also yea the 3:30 thing was bs, my buddies got in line at 2 and were back by the first set if biffs

 

Still wristbands? We are on the way

 

Bringing heady and crooked stave and Alpar. :-)

 

I

I'm bringing a loon and westy

 

Oh shit I have to post this. Thanks everyone for trying My Habanero Chocolate Stout, big thanks for those who checked it in on Untapped and for all the comments and complements. Huge thanks to Omar (Surly's Omar) for the incredible complements. He had to try it twice cause he didn't believe me it was homebrew!!! I already have another batch my friend commissioned me to make, it will be started soon :-)
