    I'm staying at Hampton Munster but I reserved that room exactly 364 days before this year's DLD (I reserved the day after last year's DLD). They charged me long ago. I called a few days ago to confirm everything, and all is good to go.

    If you're concerned about your room being secured, I suggest calling and just confirming the reservation.

    If the charge was always in the pending area and didn't clear then it was probably just an authorization so they know you are good for it.

    They have the past 3 years. I'm sure they will have it going again this year. It runs every half hour if I'm not mistaken. Drops you off and picks you up in the industrial park a short walk away from the festivities.

    Normally yes. This year they said they'd drop some info earlier. We'll see if they do.

    Same thing happened to me. I called and they said the room was still booked and good to go.

    Peeeenk.
    Words such as "sparkles" or "glitter" or "sequins" are forbidden in the Dark Lord's thread.

    My apologies. Black with the powdered remains of the unfaithful. They happen to have a metallic luster.

    Hi thread, long time reader, first time asker of rookie questions. Is parking at Centennial park the move? Can you leave a car there overnight?

    I can confirm there were 2 barrels of Three Floyd's aging in the cellar of a brandy distillery I toured in Louisville a few months ago. Not necessarily Dark Lord, though.
