    Where's the malort BADL on the Wheel of Death!? Hoping it makes a late-day appearance.

    I’m happy to see the fest back and it seems like a great day for it, though I don’t know any friends going so I think the wife and I will just be out enjoying ourselves for a bit before making moves to a wedding later that day.

    It’s also the first time I’ll be going in without anything. Not having a backpack on me is going to feel so weird.

    Knowing your typical share practices, you'll never get through the gate.

    Should be renamed “The Wheel of Shit We Couldn’t Sell Out of During the Pandemic”

    I’m in the same boat. I don’t really have much of a cellar anymore, so I’ll be enjoying the draft pours all day. It will be nice for a change.

    Very true. Also the majority of things I have left are local things anyways like Deep Woods and past DLs so it’s not like there’s any rarity to share amongst the masses. Either way, should be a fun time

    Does anyone recall from 2019 what their stance is on guest tickets? If I enter at 8am and my guest isn't coming until 10am, can I leave the fest and scan them in when they get there?

    Yep that works fine. Would mention it at the gate just to make sure nothing has changed this year with the return, but that’s how it was last go ‘round.

    Yeah that works fine. I know they say you must enter with your guest, but it totally works for you to just go out and meet them and go in again.

    In 2018 my friend came an hour after me, I went to the gate to show my ID for him to get in and they just let him walk right in, didn't even need me...

    Are the hotel shares still a thing? I'm not gonna crash them but haven't seen much chatter on here about shares tonight. That Hampton Inn share back in 2013-2016 was incredible!

    Love it. Is that the standard DLD poster or the print in the Deluxe package?

    Good question. Dan shared two on his IG so thinking the one below here might be the limited Deluxe version?

    We'll be opening up some beers at the Courtyard Hammond lobby after dinner - usually had a good mix of people from hotels around here in the past.
