    My Twitter feed shows posts with a timestamp in my local time zone (Central), which was 6:15 am the day of the announcement. They certainly don't like to give much notice to people! (I know that's to keep these tickets as "local" as possible.)

    Yeah and I fully support them doing that, it was clearly designed to give super locals a chance to hit up FFF before they had to go to work.

    Big shout out to @tyee for providing some great pictures for Dark Lord Day 2005 & 2006!

    Check out the albums here:

    Dark Lord Day 2005

    Dark Lord Day 2006

    You will notice there was a band in 2006, if anyone has an idea of who played, that would be great.

    Bumping this thread to let you guys know I won't be updating it anymore.

    However, I have been working on compiling all of the information into a wiki site which can be found here: http://www.darklordday.info

    Still lots of information I plan to add, but I hope people find this site useful. If you have any information to add, or find any mistakes please let me know.

    Last year that was a mini snifter sold by Three Floyds...not Dark Matter. It has the traditional Floyds skull logo with wings on the front in black and the 20th anniversary logo on the back with a gold rim.

    Yeah I'm going to work on a page dedicated to glassware. On the 2016 page I do note the glassware sold by Dark matter and mention the black one sold at the FFF merchandise tent.

    I was at this event, same day as FOBAB, the consequences of that dice roll were dire :slight_frown:

    At the time it sounded like a great way to cap off the night after shoveling barrel aged beers down my throat, and I might be one of the few who doesn't mind malort. However, $4 later I definitely regretted those two shots.

    Appreciate the past info posted in this thread, some of the info and tips would have helped last year lol.

    @kodt how did you find out the wax color for this year's Dark Lord? I noticed that you've posted it on the DLD history page. Inquiring minds...

    They have released some BA bottles from the kiosk that have the lime green wax. That's usually always an indicator that DL bottles will have the same. They usually use the same wax for an entire year with all their specialty releases.

    Ah, ok. I never paid attention to the correlation between the two.
