    Does anyone know of a bus going to DLD from Chicago? Last year I remember a few people organizing buses, but after a quick forum search I haven't seen anything posted this year.

    Or, although parking is difficult (if not impossible) around FFF, I have seen in years past that the businesses around the brewery charge for parking. Has anyone had experience paying to park at DLD?

    Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

    i don't think there will be room for buses. And I don't think the people at 3 floyds would appreciate any

    Yes, there is a bus. I think one goes from Reggies to Dark Lord. The buses are drop off and pick up, not parking. They're a problem if you want to go there early for the line shares.

    I've paid to park before. It's not that expensive, and it's not so bad, considering how much bullshit the neighboring businesses have to put up with.

    One of the later Reggie's buses' broke down on the way to XV party from what I heard from someone that took it out to 3 Floyds. We were going to take one of the buses down, but ended up missing the cut off and got a ride instead from a friend. Good thing too, otherwise it may have been tough to get back to Chicago.

    Someone privately arranged for a bus to go to XV. I think her name was Shawna?

    The one that came back to pick us up broke. That was their backup in fact. Props to Reggies though, they scrambled and found a smaller bus at a minimum to come and get us. Waited awhile to have it show up, but, we had the number of the driver and he was upfront about what was going on.

    Thank you for your input. Last year I found someone on here that had a bus leaving from the Globe Pub on Irving Park. In 2010, Sheffield's had a bus that went down. That was nice because they provided breakfast too. Both buses were drop-off/pick-up.

    I was on the bus from the Globe last year and it was perfect. I can't recall the guy's name who put it together, but I've been keeping an eye out for it for a pal who is going this year.

    I knew DLD was going to be cool when a guy came walking down the aisle of a moving schoolbus at 830am with a bottle in hand offering pours. "Panzer Wolf? Panzer Wolf?" Why yes sir.

    I was on the Globe Pub bus last year too! It was a great time!

    Anyone have any updates on a bus from Chicago?

    I'm working on getting a large passenger van and would probably need a few more people to fill it up. Hit me up if interested. We would probably be leaving from Kuma's Corner in Avondale Saturday morning.

    Interested in the bus from Kumas +1. Don't want to schlep all the way down to Reggies. Gonna be jammed and that bus is sketchy.

    I would be interested in a Kumas bus but would only likely need it for the ride home. When do you plan on departing DLD?
