    Great - booked a room for Tues/Wed at Stagecoach just last week. Worth trying to rearragne the trip, or is this going to be an epic shit show? After reading about Huna day I`m not sure my wife would enjoy getting shoved around at bars all day.

    Yeah - just briefly discussed and I think we are going to pass, and see if anything is left Tues/Wed. We had really hoped it would be somewhere off-site, but with camping still available. Oh well it should still be a great week to visit VT. Hopefully everyone gets their fill Memorial Day weekend and clears town for us to clean up on Lawsons, HF, and Heady the remainder of the week.

    No bottles are offered (let alone guaranteed) so I'm quite sure the crowd will be much more pleasant. However, I'm sure there will be lines out the door at Blackback and Pig. At least the Res has outdoor seating.

    I'm sure there will still be the kind of local bottle shares that got pulled together after last year's snowpocalypse. :slight_smile:

    yeah, i really don't see how those 3 bars can absorb even half the crowd. made the BW reservation a few weeks back for this contingency, but i fear the mass of humanity will be overbearing....

    Since it's at the bars and not Hill Farmstead all that crowd management is up to each bar.

    Waterburgatory is more like it.

    I like the idea of what they're doing, but being an 'unticketed event' could lead to insane overcrowding. +1 @Osyrus for Waterburgatory

    there won't be overcrowding as much as long lines of people waiting for bars.

    Right, I'm picturing how it is at RR for Younger pours. 8 hour lines snaking down the street from ProPig.

    And the neighbors thought the traffic was bad when the Cannery was open to the public...
