    Yeah when those breweries come here for a festival all of them have to send their beer through a distributor. Many of these breweries do not distro here normally, which means they all need to establish a distribution agreement with a distributor just to get the beer here. Since Dark Lord Day is in Indiana, they have some sort of distribution agreement there so they can send more beer and hold additional events in Indiana. But not Illinois.

    I'm debating on which shuttle to take, and am looking at Reggie's. For those that have used it before, is it pretty reliable? I'm wondering because it seems too good to be true that it's free and runs every hour. Do I need to get there early in order to get on a shuttle, or do I pretty much just show up and hop on the next one? I'd like to hop on the shuttle at 9 am, but just want to make sure it's not something that I need to arrive really early for or anything...or if I show up at 9 and there will be a bunch of people waiting to get on, so I really won't get on the shuttle until 10 or 11.

    Once you get there. Look for @midmichmatt wearing this and you'll find us.

    Also anyone interested in a gofundme so that we can get him this costume and that he is required to wear it all day?

    Although this inflatable godzilla / shark cross over is kind of fun, and much more Shark Lord but it makes more sense if it is a thick polyester so he sweats his ass off. Although this is only $40... Any takers?

    Lol, I'd contribute to the 1st one if there are promises of posting end of day pics that will inevitably have the white part of the shark's front stained with stouts.....

    I feel like it's a bit crazy that there would be some sort of line to get on the shuttle that would cause us having to wait for another hour, but crazier things have definitely happened around here. I'm hoping someone can chime in with their real experience from the last year or two to help us out.

    Taken the Reggies bus back to Chicago the past two years. It's reliable.

    How many times have you woken up in the morning after a hard night of drinking and thought 'How did I get home?'? As hard as you try, you cannot piece together your return journey from the bar to your home.

    The answer to this puzzle is that you used a beer scooter.

    I wish getting home was the only thing I didn't remember.

    If you remember your whole DLD experience, you didn’t do it right.

    Ok, returning to an important topic:

    Vigilante justice.

    When you inevitably see someone do something terrible, how will your crew respond? We have been discussing bringing 40s and duct tape.

    This may explain the condition of the port-o-potties at DLD.

    Man they cleaned the porta potties mid day. The company came in, Hosed the inside the down then sucked up all the crap. Literally. Perfect time to drop the kids off at the pool. Timing is everything.dododoododo

    If one times it right, it's a porta potty with a bidet. Nice!
