First we have to ship our shit to the nearest border town in the continental US bc going the extra 70 miles somehow transforms cost from free to $35... then we're not eligible to drink Crystal Pepsi... now we can't even be considered an international traveler to DLD?

We'd just politely defer the honour to someone traveling from closer anyways... sheesh!

4. Will it rain? - Yes (duh)

6. Will anyone be taken/removed from the fest via Munster Police? - Yes but I hope not.
7. Will the North Gate line be a cluster fu*k again? - Yes

These have been fun to read. It'll be great after DLD going back and checking over these. Keep em coming. Great way to kill some time too. Who knows how long before FFF releases any info.

 

Everybody seems to think that Group E won't have many variants left or any at all. If that is the case and there are least 1,600 people per group, that means that 3 Floyds would have to have 3,200 vintage bottles of Dark Lord available for this. They might have that much still but it seems like a lot. I think a lot of group E will get a variant as the people at the end of group E might be a out of luck, but who knows.

 

OK. My turn...

1. How many Dark Lord Variants will be offered up this year? 4
2. Will the variants make it to group E? No
3. What will the high temperature be for the day? 65
4. Will it rain? Just a little bit
5. Will anyone be taken/removed from the fest via ambulance? Yes
6. Will anyone be taken/removed from the fest via Munster Police? No
7. Will the North Gate line be a cluster fu*k again? Yes, but not as bad
8. Will Amon Amarth close their set with "Raise Your Horns." Yes
9. Will Marshmallow Handjee (VBDL) return this year? Yes
10. Will there be a true Double Barrel Dark Lord variant this year? No
11. Will the final estimated attendance be above or below 10,000? Just at or below, not over
12. Will there be any bottles of Dark Lord or a variant dropped on the ground and destroyed? Yes
13. Over/under: Reported thefts (on this thread) at DLD + or - 3? I'll go with the under
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"? Yes

 

That's a tough one. It's the second poll question and I find it really intriguing. It's really no shock though if you look as far back as just last year when vintage variants were an option. The real question is whether it was planned that way this and last year or if there was another reason it ended up that way.

 

1. How many Dark Lord Variants will be offered up this year? 4 variants: BVDL, Muerte, Bourbon, and FVM
   
2. Will the variants make it to group E? Yes
   
3. What will the high temperature be for the day? 68
   
4. Will it rain? Thunderstorms
   
5. Will anyone be taken/removed from the fest via ambulance? Yes
   
6. Will anyone be taken/removed from the fest via Munster Police? Yes
   
7. Will the North Gate line be a cluster fu*k again? I hope so. The plaintive wailing of Group A people showing up at 10 and expecting Moses to part the crowds to let them in is music to my ears.
   
8. Will Amon Amarth close their set with "Raise Your Horns." I stay away from the bands. Probably.
   
9. Will Marshmallow Handjee (VBDL) return this year? Yes, I hate that name.
   
10. Will there be a true Double Barrel Dark Lord variant this year? Yes
    
11. Will the final estimated attendance be above or below 10,000? Approx 9000
    
12. Will there be any bottles of Dark Lord or a variant dropped on the ground and destroyed? Yes, sacrifices must be made to appease the gods.
    
13. Over/under: Reported thefts (on this thread) at DLD + or - 3? Over. I would estimate 10 reported thefts
    
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 this before noon. I wish I had a picture of the guy covered in mud from head to toe last year.

I have only been to the last two DLD so I expect rain. Favorable weather will dramatically increase the number of incidents.

Bringing Abraxas, Vanilla Night Fury, Twe Ak, Rye Hipster, and Paradise.

 

I am wondering if vintage will even mean vintage variants and not just older bottles. Because if its vintage bottles i can see some people like my brother going for a 2014/2015 so he would have a 4 year vertical.

 

1. How many Dark Lord Variants will be offered up this year? 5 with one leftover 2016 variant
2. Will the variants make it to group E? Yes
3. What will the high temperature be for the day? 67
4. Will it rain? Of course, but it wont be in forecast so everyone will be screwed
5. Will anyone be taken/removed from the fest via ambulance? Yes
6. Will anyone be taken/removed from the fest via Munster Police? Yes
7. Will the North Gate line be a cluster fuck again? Yes, but so will South Gate
8. Will Amon Amarth close their set with "Raise Your Horns." I assume they open with this
9. Will Marshmallow Handjee (VBDL) return this year? Yes
10. Will there be a true Double Barrel Dark Lord variant this year? I mean I hope so, more variant choice in C if this is the case.
11. Will the final estimated attendance be above or below 10,000? I'm guessing it stays at 8500 like the last couple years.
12. Will there be any bottles of Dark Lord or a variant dropped on the ground and destroyed? OF course
13. Over/under: Reported thefts (on this thread) at DLD + or - 3? On this thread we'll get over 3.
14. Will anyone from here meet someone else from here via name tag/Dragon Abortion shirt? I mean my username is my name so it will be on my lanyard.
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"? Since its going to be sunny ,we'll get a drunken idiot yelling "show me your tits!" to every girl using the port-a-potty's until the police remove him via ambulance.
