    Is anyone going to this rather than Dark Lord Day this year?

    Yep. They do events right there. Hopefully they'll keep ticket sales to a reasonable amount, because it can get packed in their little parking lot.

    I went last year and it was a blast...and free. But, it was easy to get to when it was at the Slapshot facility..it's kinda a pain where I'm at to get to now. Probably going to pass.

    For those that don't know, Fischmans also has in the first week of June their Kegs for Kidneys. Pretty darn good beers, and silent auctions for some very darn good beers that are donated.

    Had a great time at Pale Pauper Day.
    Sure, it was a little crowded under the tent, but lines weren't really an issue.

    And the School of Rock kids set was fantastic...

    Poor kids. Who made them play all of those '80s tunes?

    HA - that was probably one of the few I didn't try on Saturday.
    Not intentional, just the way it worked out. I SAW it and was planning on trying it, but sooo many taps...
