    Three Floyds doesn't have water stations during this event right? I wanted to see if I remembered this correctly.

    You will want to go straight to that line if you are one of the 1st 200 people to get in. That quick. Especially now that the FFF variants are rando...

    I definitely think some of that will happen, or people loitering near the front refusing to take it because the last few got vintage or Dia Oscuro.

    There will be some stupidity of some type for sure.

    Yes, there are water stations. Check the map.

    In a marathon session, yes. On a Wednesday afternoon/night? It'd be more than enough for me.

    Speaking of Chocolate Rain they were selling it online as of yesterday.

    Am curious as to how the logistics will work. Will they put allocations on the tables? If so, do the 6-count bags stand out like Whack A Mole? If they use the black totes they used last year, even 5 bottles aren't a great fit. Would be best if they just hand them out 1 by 1 in a chain as you come through.

    I assume (or hope) that the system will entail you being presented with a bag of the beers, and there is no negotiation about whether you take that or another one. You take the one offered, or you get nothing. #NoDLforyou #DLDNazi

    Pretty safe bet that it'll be done this way.

    They should staple them shut so it is a bit of a struggle to open so people can't mill about trying to find the bag they want.

    5oz plastic tumblers. GFS is generally cheapest, but you can also find them at party city:
    http://www.partycity.com/product/clear+plastic+tumblers+5oz+88ct.do

    I tend to take a stack of like 20. If one breaks, no big deal. Someone needs an extra glass to double fist? Here, have one. I need an extra glass for a supa-whalez? Got it covered.

    No reason to break out fancy glassware. Save that for your home tastings. Disposable all day long.

    Let's hope for no labels at all on the variants. You basically find out after you open with the name on inside of the cap. Would totally ruin secondary market and trade value.

    It would certainly make for a more exciting (but possibly disappointing) Dark Lord variant share.

    You are on the right track, but they should seal the bag by cauterizing it with the blood of aborted Dragons. That would be way more metal!
