Dark Lord Day (2019)

Side note, anyone besides me and the excited dude next to me find the trillium on tap? Unexpected.

 

Chemtrailmix- 1500 bottle count
Rye BA Dark Lord - 600 bottle count

 

If it's shut down, how do people with E group get their allotment?

 

They let E in early. My buddy had E and he was through and back at our hotel by 4:15ish.

 

Is there still a BA share going on? If so, where?

 

So are they letting people back in yet? The Dark Lord and I have unfinished business.

 

Oh man, I feel bad for my buddy. He has Group E and just got there at 4pm. Is the event shut down completely?

 

Couple repeats but:

Chemtrail: 1500
FVM: 2500
Loadstar: 1700

 

So Loadstar was insane... I think it may have been my favorite variant this year, and I was able to try each of them available except for Rye (that line was ridiculous!). HJ was great as per usual. Chemtrail was good, but didn't seem to be as good as last year (a little too much heat, that hopefully mellows out). Rrari was good, but a little too sweet, and I didn't get much of the adjuncts. I was surprised at FVM, I think it was improved from last year. Still not a top variant, but it is moving in the right direction. Otherwise, it was similar to what we all expected.

 

Bottle pickup line is still going. Music just started up again in the last 30. Food lines are deeeep right now. Posting from the relative dryness of the share tent.

 

They are letting people back in. Bottle pick up going strong.

 

Fucking soaked but pours of monster tones. Worth it?

 

Reptilefund-200

 

I hid in the porta potty. Wife was in line for FREE monster tones.
In the dirty dirty share tent now.

 

I have updated the wiki with the variants & bottles counts.

Only one I am missing is Cavaliero if anyone knows the count on that one.

 

That was a rough one. My friends wanted to go later hoping that it would start to clear out and we'd have an easy time with taps. So, of course, we get there about thirty minutes before the rain starts and everything shuts off. No pours this year

 

So did they actually kick people out of the fest? Or just out of the tents? Were you denied entry if you arrived during/after the storm?

I heard bands stopped playing and beer stopped being sold, and they asked people to evacuate.

 

I didn't see anyone get asked to evacuate, but they shut everything down. No pours, no music no food.

 

After speaking with a bunch of people there was an attempt to get people to leave but were unsuccessful with the big tent. People refused to go. Quite a few people were forced to leave from other areas. A lot of people called it a day and just left to do other stuff. Everything has resumed. For a while it was just allotments being picked up. No food or pours.

 

Update:

Once the rain stopped and everything opened back up, variant pours were easy breezy.


Sucked for two full hours, but after that.......
Worth it.
