Dark Lord Day 2016

Sigh. No worries, but just for future reference, this is a message board, and if you bring up or respond to topics within a thread, people will talk about or respond to them. See? That's how it works. And, I'm not arguing, I was discussing. Isn't that the point of this place?

 

You are arguing. And now you are being condescending and trying to give me message board instructions. Why don't you send me a message in private if you want to discuss this further so everyone else doesn't have to read this nonsense?

 

I just wrote up this thing about how not to get completely shitfaced at Dark Lord Day.

Have you not caught up and read the other 76 pages of this thread yet?

 

As a reminder, here is the thread with the IP trading and bottle share spreadsheets for DLD 2016 (I didn't create these):

This is the second time this week that someone here told me I was condescending, and that's not really what I'm trying to convey in any post. So, I'll withdraw at this point. Enjoy DLD.

That mead sounds awesome.

 

Yeah, I know! I'm going to go on hiatus from posting here....

 

At least we can all agree that dark lord is only an ok beer at best

 

What if any is the connection between three Floyds and boneyard?

 

First timer for DLD. Wondering about parking situation, lot locations, price etc. and what time i should be at said lots to secure some parking and get in when the gates open. Thanks

 

3F sold Boneyard their first 'big' brewing system. then they did a collab many years ago.

 

I think centennial is $20? Can usually find parking until late morning. The lots back in the industrial area are more, and they fill up first. I usually get there 630-730 and park in centennial just because its a good break to walk over there in the middle of the day.

 

I am going to share a secret that worked great for me last year, but this year I plan on uber/taxi service. There is an oil change place on calumet ave very near the festival. If you pay for an oil change they will let you leave your car all day. Cost more than just parking but is a lot closer and cars need oil changes anyways. They open at 9, I was in line by 9:25 after my oil change.

 

Surly has on their website that they will be there, and Dark Horse will also be there.

 

I finally caved and bought rain gear for this event. So now for sure it's NOT going to rain. You're welcome.

 

Same. Though I'm going one step further and actually bringing my nice poncho and carrying it around all day to appease the rain gods.

 

Out of curiosity, how much was FFF charging for the hot sauce last year? After so much of the last batch went south, I'm trying to decide if I want to risk a purchase this year...
