    I've gotten so many brewery/bottle shop totes over the years, that I tend to leave them at places just so I don't have to carry them home. I'll bring some extra to DLD so you have some to take home to your kid! :grinning:

    You can have mine from last year if you can find it. Last seen under the south tent with some shelf turds in it.

    They all do.

    I never partake myself. Just not worth it. The body has a finite amount of alcohol in take before I become trash can guy, and I always wait until the line.

    2nd time to DLD. 1st was last year and was very fortunate to get group A. Had to leave soon after getting my allotment due to commitments at home in Columbus. Bottle share night before at Hampton Inn down the road from brewery was AWESOME! People in north entrance line prior to festival opening were very generous with their bottles which was also awesome.

    Why am I going back?
    • First and foremost: To get Dark Lord 2017 plus whatever variants/vintages are available.
    • Share this experience with my wife. There was a time not too long ago when she was definitely not a beer drinker. That has changed. She loves sours and stouts.
    • Bottle sharing the night before.
    • Bottle sharing while in line.
    • Socializing with fellow craft beer aficionados.
    • And of course, to see DRAGON ABORTION!!!!!!

    I'm just waiting for all of this Dragon Abortion talk to spill over into other threads. Before you know it this will become the official Dragon Abortion fan site.

    I honestly hate the whole experience. I'm just there on the slight possibility there are some attractive women to mack on.

    You may be better off going to the grocery store.

    Let's think of places with worse odds of this happening. I'll start:

    1. Rush concert

    I'll second this. Went to many Rush concerts over the years. Definitely a male dominated audience.

    Given this is going to be my first DLD, I need to ask a dumb question. I got group C and was looking at possibly taking the 2:00 PM shuttle back to Open Bottle. Is it even somewhat realistic to think I can get through the line in an hour to get my allotment?

    If I were you I'd schedule it an hour later in case its a cluster (it always is)
