    Last 10 or so posts have brought some much needed laughter into this thread.

    Only if you couldn't get tickets.

    I hear they sell some secret unannounced DL variants near the breakfast tent at 7:06am, which is really 6:66am. Better get there even earlier.

    This is my hesitation as well. Even with surge pricing, wondering what the wait time will be for an Uber.

    I was thinking about picking up my tote bags and vouchers later on in the day, but not sure this is possible. I figure I'll go through the entry line at least twice for a trip to the car... then it dawned on me...

    How do they police the line for tote bags and vouchers? What's stopping people from going through twice? I am assuming the tear off on the ticket is for bottle pickup, not entry right?

    There is a bar code on it. They could scan it and then as you re-enter it could show you already entered.

    Will also likely receive a wristband of some sort when we come in to show who has already been in.

    Yeah. They scan on entry. Tear off the tab at bottle pickup.

    They scan your ticket when you come in. They rip the bottom of your ticket when you get bottles.

    Great, thank you. That means pick up the tote bag and vouchers immediately, our you're SOL!

    They scan your ticket and then give you a wristband when you enter. When you re-enter you don't go through the original line waiting to get in. I imagine that you get your tote when you enter the event for the first time.

    From what I heard through the grapevine, aardvarks are not allowed this year. Nothing official that I can find.

    That's pretty much what it says on the Dark Lord Day page. It also says to check your bag for your vouchers because if you don't speak up at the gate you're fucked.

    So maybe I missed it but with all the redundant questioning going on no one has asked the one question that is actually left to ask. Where is the festival map? Usually by now we have a festival map including what kind of food each food tent is going to sell.

    At Huna day you pick up the tote that has already been pre-primed with your bottles on the way out. With the variants being random I would expect you walk in during your group time and grab a standard tote-bag with 5 bottles in it. Should help the line move quickly.

    I hope they are random, but not sure where you pulled that out of your ass from.

    Waaaaaay up in there

    They could just as easily have bags pre-setup for each variant. I guess this is more likely

    Yeah...the variants aren't random....if they were we would just get the bottles right when we walk in. No groups necessary.
