    It was pretty organized, I think most of the "jumping" occurred while people were taking their chairs, heaters, canopies and broadswords back to their vehicles, and the normal "I'm just chatting with my bro" guy who ends up staying there when the line forms.

    Nothing like last year.

    They sent everyone to put their chairs and stuff back at 5:15 then the line formed again while people were gone. Could have been worse but got #538 after being there at 3 a.m. and stated above 3:45 got some #507. Not saying they cut nor am I shitty about it, but it really defeated the purpose of the line when they did that.

    A couple people thought I was line cutting last year, but I was outside at 830PM. Second group in line. I'm a social butterfly when I drink and I got lost in the crowd line by morning/order line-up time. My awesome friend fetched my drunk ass, so it looked like I was cutting probably. Beer garden (1st class) people should be allowed to mingle with the back of the line (coach)! Haha. I think that type of scenario occurs more than people ACTUALLY cutting in line. I could have sat in a heated tent all night, but I rather meet new friends!

    I got there about right when you posted so we must have been close. I was right by the beer garden where it started to curve back out. I didn't see line cutting, but I wasn't paying attention.

    Who was the guy calling out the short of stature dude for line cutting (he'd been there all night in the same spot) and then calling him a "midget" multiple times? If you know him, punch him in the face for me.

    Sounds about right. I checked at 4:00PM and was told they were on around 350. I got there late and got #710. I was really hoping they would speed through the line faster than what they posted but no dice.

    There was definite line cutting. My group got in line at 6:30pm Friday night and we were Around 175. By the time they handed out tickets we were in the 240's. All those people were saving spots for their friends when they showed up hours later. They need to hand people numbers as the line forms and not wait till the jumbled up crap at the end. I don't care if your wife is showing up with food in an hour. Tough shit! She goes to the back of the line!

    I'm just surprised this event isn't set up better. Having to wait 20+hrs for beer is brutal. I'm not sure what the alternative is, but this is like the black friday of beer.

    Bitch bitch bitch moan moan moan. It was my first year and I got there at 3:00am and had some cool beers in line and got to try everything on draft that I wanted to. Yeah I dont have any DBPt5 to trade but that's not what it should be about.

    Can't wait for next year.

    Jesus titty-fucking Christ. You people always find a way to complain.

    When we showed back up for the party at 1 pm, the next blank order form was number 745, meaning you could still get 2 cases of BBPT5 without issue. People lined up early essentially only for a chance at Bourbrum BBPT5 (which isn't as good as normal BBPT5 anyway).
    I've already given away half my bottles of BourbRum to people who got shut out because I honestly don't give a fuck. And neither should you.
    Go there. Buy beer. Quit bitching.

    Honestly, that's what they need: A reason not to stay in line all night. Who wouldn't swing over there at 2pm after sleeping in your own bed to get two cases of a top 250 beer?

    Wow lots of harsh words and excitement all the sudden. Strange way to calm us crazy complainers down. Must be the lack of sleep and hypothermia. I commend everyone who loves this tradition, I just don't have the time to dedicate to it despite how much fun it can potentially be. If anyone has any of the releases to spare I'm in the market. Cheers everyone!

    Same here, I couldn't make it. If there allowing anyone to buy more plead I can paypal someone in oakland county to pick me up whatever extra they can pick up! Or if anyone wants to recoup some cash before the wife finds out...let me know!

    I actually have no complaints this year which is saying a lot, I'm kind of a dickhead. I felt stupid showing up at 4am to be pretty close to the end of the line but thats on me. I had to laugh when I got up to pick up my order and could have actually bought more Plead because there was so much left. Gotta hand it to Dark Horse this year.

    I'm cool with waiting in line because that's what it is. But telling people to leave that line, take your shit to the car, and reform the line is fucking retarded. Recipe for disaster.
