    He was asleep / passed out on it for at least 30 minutes before falling over taking the garbage can with him. obvious puke stains on his arm.

    Me last year... Garbage Can in question was right behind me

    And for the record, rubber boots, PVC pants, goretex jacket, and poncho (to keep the back pack dry) is a winning combination.

    Nice photos. I'm sure those FFF shirts the workers are wearing are great for morale since they say "Minion" on them. Lol.

    Warehouse pics make it look like DLD could be completely destroyed by one disgruntled employee using the forklift...

    You'll find photos such as the "Where's my allotment guy" there.

    I honestly couldn't tell you the exact time but I think it was early afternoon, probably around 1:00 or so. It was by the stand nearest to the music tent...I believe that specific tent had Muerte and Ronaldo as well last year

    lmao there is nothing in those inside photos that looks even slightly familiar to me and I was group C and considered myself to be okay at the time.

    General plan for sat:

    7am: wake up, panicked and confused. Order Uber asap as we rise and hurry to get out of bed.

    720: hopefully in line now. Our uber driver will have no idea that there’s a brewery in town or what’s going on despite living in town.

    730: we’ve opened our first beers and maybe shared one with the people around us. They seem cool but are a bit wary of us as it’s still too early for anyone to be social.

    740: the other people in line open some wildly rare beer in a bomber format and there’s too much so they share the rest with us. First “holy shit this is good” moment of the day.

    8am: about 8 beers tasted now, struggling to keep up with untappd and consider just using notepad or voice recorder. Breakfast tacos in hand.

    820: invited to wedding by the other people in line. Lines of empty bottles are starting to line the streets.



    9am: oh fuck, it isn’t just standing in line all day. the gates open and we all start pounding whatever rare beers we’re holding because for some reason you can’t go into the grounds with an open beer, but you can open all the beer you want on either side of the gate.

    910 realize they let you in with a machete in your backpack while trying to get in line for beer or glassware.



    more lines and beer and glassware until 1120 when we see someone drop their allotment of Dark Lord and decide to uber the shit back to the hotel before getting too crazy

    Hello all,been reading for quite some time,learning some and laughing a lot. I was thinking since it's cash only this year and I plan on drinking all day,are chain wallets allowed by security? Rather not lose my wallet.

    Yes. Unless you have a ball with spikes attached to the other end of the chain. I'd worry more about people stealing your beer then your wallet, unless you are just worried about misplacing it from a case of the stumbles.
