    My group is planning on getting there around 6 or so but who knows... I'd say 2-3 bottles should be enough, but I'm gonna bring more because that share can tend to go long and anything you open WILL find a suitor since there will be so many people there.

    That's fine. It will be going all night I'm sure. We're just planning on going somewhere else after that.

    Hi everybody, the fake tweets and other hilarious shit-posts convinced me I can't sit on the sidelines any longer. It'll be my 5th time out this year but still looking to do it "right". Now let's turn up the Dragon Abortion and keep the party goin!

    To be clear, mead (and cider) cannot be brought into the festival because they are considered wine under IN state law, but they cant stop you from sharing outside while waiting to get in...

    Still calling for 65 degrees and afternoon rain. I think it needs to drop 30 degrees and blizzard for epic awfulness.

    I think you were the guy that originally posted this idea (Target mini mason jar on lanyard) a year or two ago? I went this route last year and loved it so much that this mandatory for me at every DLD.

    The mini mason jars on lanyards worked great for us last year too. Will be using them again this year.
    On a side note, I heard Dragon Abortion will be performing there first album 'Uncrusted Filth' in its entirety.

    Yeah, I can't remember if I started using that rig last year or the year before. I'm thinking it was last year. I have to credit my friend Kevin for its creation. Either way, glad you like it.

    I'd like for one year to have as many posts in this thread as there are actual people attending dld.

    I heard instead of offering up an explanation or posting on social media, Three Floyds (or FFF or 3F or whatever) collaborated with Dragon Abortion on a new song to debut at DLD..."Infection of the Damned."

    Official DA press release:
    As the official unofficial manager/secretary/janitor for Dragon Abortion I can neither confirm nor deny these rumors.
    I can say that "Infection of the Damned" is a Dragon Abortion and FFF (3F) collaboration Dark Lord variant that most likely won't be released. The name of the beer pretty much explains the reason.

    My shipping email was placed in my "Promotions" folder in gmail. So maybe that's why people haven't been seeing theirs.

    Nonetheless, the email came a day after i already had my tickets

    1. How many Dark Lord Variants will be offered up this year? 8
    2. Will the variants make it to group E? The very beginning (just the tip)
    3. What will the high temperature be for the day? Forecasted: 68; actual: -563
    4. Will it rain? Buckets
    5. Will anyone be taken/removed from the fest via ambulance? No; they'll just walk them over to Franciscan ER, which we all know was built there for DLD only.
    6. Will anyone be taken/removed from the fest via Munster Police? No; beer geeks take care of beer geeks
    7. Will the North Gate line be a cluster fu*k again? No, this will shift to the South line because everyone had finally "figured it out" and the North line will be practically empty except for people who "lost their tickets"
    8. Will Amon Amarth close their set with "Raise Your Horns." Metal. Barf.
    9. Will Marshmallow Handjee (VBDL) return this year? No, it's fucking infected. Duh. Get with the program.
    10. Will there be a true Double Barrel Dark Lord variant this year? QHY was a true DBDL. That's why I got it. Also, on a separate note, FT:QHY
    11. Will the final estimated attendance be above or below 10,000? 10,666 (above)
    12. Will there be any bottles of Dark Lord or a variant dropped on the ground and destroyed? This should be an over under question covering 2017 DLs (O/U 7), vintage DLs (O/U 5- high until you realize they're being picked up late in the day only), variants (O/U 2). I take the under on all except variants is a push.
    13. Over/under: Reported thefts (on this thread) at DLD + or - 3? Over
    14. Will anyone from here meet someone else from here via name tag/Dragon Abortion shirt? Yes
    15. Will there be another "Garbage Can Guy," "Where's My Allotment Guy," return of one of these, or new variation such as "Port-O-Potty Guy"? All 3
