    Interesting that it doesn't address BA/vs non BA for bottles or draft yet.

    Darkness gets distributed outside of Minnesota starting the week of November 30. That seems considerably later than last year, but oh well what are you going to do :rolling_eyes::rolling_eyes:

    Eventually, but it ended up being all bottles were BA. This year it looks like there could be both.

    Yeah, my wife and I are in this silly stringing each other. I'm looking forward to having her back with me this year after she took last year off (our first-born was just a few months old). 2010 Darkness was our one week anniversary of dating. This will be my sixth year attending, her fifth.

    For after the event...who has the best poutine in the twin cities? Happy Gnome used to use short ribs, but now it's sausage. I'm still a fan, but the short ribs were incredible.

    With the bottle share the night before and the morning of, I usually make it about 2 hrs into the event before I have to call the wife for a ride home.

    What the heck does that gave to do with poutine? We're more than likely going to Uber around after the event, so I'm not real concerned about transportation. I'm no rookie to the event. My inexperience is in prime poutine locations.

    i don't know if it's silly or not but was considering using the hashtag #darknesslineshare to tweet out when we are popping bottles in case anyone wanted to wander by for a pour. good/bad/indifferent?

    Can't hurt. But most of us (other than, you know, checking into our beers) won't be looking at our screens unless/until we drop our phones. That said, if you bring any Superpower, please send up a flare or start screaming or something, & I'll come running with something good to share for a pour!
