Dark Lord Day 2016

Planned on taking a waterproof jacket, looks like I need find waterproof pants too.....

 

Glassware is up on the DM Facebook page. 6000 total mini snifters and 1 mug. No online sales.

 

Glad I got one of those chalices last year.

 

finally, someone gets it.

 

Is the DMC/FFF glassware the ONLY glass sold at DLD?

 

It says 4,000 total snifters. 2000 Palladium and 2000 Gold.

 

Well, there's a line I don't have to stand in. Those glasses suck.

Not to mention I washed one from last year and half the fucking logo washed off.

 

Is his name Stampy?

 

That line will be a shit show. 2,000 two packs for 8,000 people.

 

Glass Whalezbrah

 

I really dig the gold mini snifters, but I won't be sad if I don't get them. I have the mini snifters from the last two DLDs and I think I have used them once..... Now if they were full sized snifters, tulips, or tekus, then I would hit this line first!

 

Right down Calumet Ave past the brewery is a place called Jelly. You can build your own bloody marys and their skillets are fantastic. There is also the scrambled diner which is not far away, but further from floyds. They have better food but less bloody marys. So I think we know who wins this battle.

 

Better then 12000 like last year though

 

Their website is in list format going 1, 2, 3, 6. Or is it just me?

 

Weather forecast I follow took a negative turn tonight. Showers early leading into steady rain in the afternoon. High 56. Bring it.

 

Minor hot sauce update found within a general Trib article on the brewpub.

No price yet but you can guarantee it will be at least $8 (last year's price).

 

Damn... I've been gone on a business trip for one day and this thread is 8 pages longer!

My work took me within 40 minutes from Tree House so I was able to pick up Julius and Sap. Will be bringing some to DLD to share with others, along with other stuff I plan to bring.

 

I haven't seen them post the map yet, but maybe I missed it??

Their twitter also just posted this:

Sorry folks it's been a long day & our Twitter Maven can't count - 13 variants! First come first served. #DLD2016 #socialmediaishard

Did I miss something?? There clearly are 13 variants on the darklordday.com webpage.

 

The previous tweet was the exact same thing, but read "15 variants". They were just correcting the tweet.

 

Over/under on time before someone gets their hopes up after scouring the internet to uncover the next random newspaper article or tweet that contradicts something about DLD that FFF has explicitly stated multiple times? I'll set it at 11 hours.
