    Not sure what time I'm heading up, but if you leave earlier Sat, I could give him a ride back as I have not solid plans for Sat.

    I'd like to contribute to a tasting table or two and meet some of you. I'm not sure what I will bring yet.

    Only if Chef Shack has run out of their Indian-spiced mini donuts. Best Darkness pairing ever.

    I just went through some of my pics from last year. Either my camera really sucks or the operator was drinking. I did find this gem though:

    I deeply regret not trying those last year. I won't make that mistake again this year if given the chance!

    Haven't decided yet if I'll have the smoker in tow this year or not.

    Please do. Smoked pig last year was quite awesome.

    Dan, if you bring the smoker, I'll gladly donate towards the cause. Meat or cash or whatever.

    Agreed - let me know if you want to collect some cash. Or, if you need any help with grill supplies or duties.

    This will be my first darkness day. I don't have anything too rare or out there There are quite a few of us in my group(I think I'm the only 1st timer).

    Very excited for this event!

    This will be my first one too. I won't be getting there until early in the morning as I have a rehearsal dinner to attend the night before. I'm coming from Arizona so I'll be at the event by myself (wife will be doing wedding things on Saturday before the wedding at 4pm).

    I'm very excited for this Darkness Day - I went last year with some friends. We showed up about 5:30am on Saturday, and way way back in the line. We swore that day that next year we would not make the same mistake. Look forward to hanging with you guys and sharing some tasty beers!

    49 with a 30% chance of rain. Our odds of getting snow keep increasing by the day!

    If anyone is coming from points east of here (Ohio?) and could pick me up a bottle of hoppin' frog barrel aged pumpkin that would be superb.

    No need to publicly advertise it if you do, but if anyone is bringing a cognac or any chili variant dark lord that they are going to be sharing, you'll be my new best friend if you hit me up. Trying to tick all the BA DL and the "easier" to find ones keep eluding me!

    Looks like the weather is turning out to be ok, a little cool but dry!

    Tragedy has struck and it appears I will be missing the event this year. If anyone isn't buying their allotment and would like to grab a couple bottles for me, I would be grateful. I think you guys will be fine without me, though!
