Dark Lord Day (DLD) 2015

pretty much....and be prepared to deal with people cutting the line....

 

Staying at the Red Roof Inn in Lansing. Anyone else want to share a cab in the am of DLD, also looking for ride share to/from Barrel Massacre at 18th St.

 

I'm staying there with two others, we can definitely share a ride in the AM. Planning to head out early for the in-line tailgating. If interested, send me a PM with your cell # and we'll work it out.

 

I'll be in line right behind you for a goblet!

 

Me and another guy are staying there too. Maybe get a minivan type cab for the morning of DLD? PM me too if interested.

 

I know and the only one I really want is the goblet and to a small degree the mini snifter but that goblet doh

 

No limit on the goblets is a bad idea

 

I'll take 20

 

My tasting group is already saying that if anyone gets to the front get at least a case maybe two

 

Last year that coffee glassware line was the biggest shitshow ever. I moved about 10 feet in 2 hours and gave up.

And yes, the snifters and mugs were sold online the week after DLD, but they were a different color than was at DLD.

 

As will everyone with a group (thats everyone) or anyone looking to make a quick buck. As far as I can recall, even when Intelligentsia was doing it and selling their glassware, there was never any limit and they always sold out fast as hell. It's stupid as shit.

Holy crap though, they are really capitalizing this year with all the merch. Prices are sky high after last year they know that can charge whatever they want.

Also, dammit I hate that style of coffee mug. When they made mugs for Half Acre they were a much nicer style. Looks better, easier to drink from.

 

Pfft. Gotta catch 'em all, right?

 

No limits? Well then I'd like to buy them all. Sarcasm aside they should be limited and way off to the side

 

I think the Goblet is ugly.....but i'll still buy it. I'd much rather have the mini snifters though.

 

The DLD glassware rush is just a Walmart black Friday rush with more drunks and neckbeards.

Pass.

 

What time are we thinking of heading to DLD? I think a 7am cab should be good.

 

I wouldn't mind trying one of those coffee bombers, but I'm not getting to DLD until the afternoon (trying to avoid the morning rush), so I would imagine that those will be looooooooooooooong gone.

 

Anybody seeing their tickets yet? Thought I read they would ship out 19 days prior to the event. The past few years they have arrived just in the nick of time.

 

Agreed, I don't see the appeal at all to wait in a line that long for glassware. I've never held it or seen it in person though, so maybe it's amazing or something, shrug.

 

I think tickets are just now shipping, I got a ups notification from ticketcraft for a delivery tomorrow
