Dark Lord Day 2016

Haha no deer urine and hopefully no urine from the overflowing johns. It's the only rain gear I have.

 

I saw somewhere that there will special double barrel magnum bottles of Marshmallow handjee and 15 Vanilla bean blend going to the first ten people in group A.... but special Waterford crystal DLD snifters for the first ten people at the dark matter tent.


..... and .... go

 

The sky will open during Plague Bringer's set.

 

Have they posted photos of this years glassware?

 

Just the sniffers.

The logo (not the Dark Matter side) on the 'palladium' tasting glass and the mug is just awful. Going to (not) go out on a limb and say that plenty of those will be leftover after the event.

 

Just sounds like the ultimate piece of misinformation

 

Right, I don't even get how the hell that logo is related at all.

 

It looks like a sci-fi type logo. I believe the theme this year is sci-fi. I'm sure the logo will be around on other shirts and things.

 

Having a couple beers at the airport waiting for my flight.. Can't wait to pop my DL cherry
Please be gentle

 

there is a space theme this year, my guess is that the palladium logo is related to the space theme.

 

Don't think anyone has ever described Dark Lord as gentle...

 

It's too crisp and smooth, looks like a fictional logo in a clean, white marble dominated Tom Cruise movie. Actually, doesn't even look fictional, looks like a NASA-replacement could use it.

 

and by space i mean killer alien space zombies

 

Last year the entire festival was a water refill station. Open the bottle and water magically falls from the sky to refill. There is currently a 100% chance that will happen again this year.

 

I think the palladium logo is a more abstract image of a rocket taking off for space

 

no need to use the porta potties. just piss your pants. no one can tell!

 

Last year they made significantly more glassware. This year there are essentially 1000 allotments of snifters.

 

Where will the line form for the first edition Alpha King comic book being released this year? (Or was this discussed on page 23?)

Will it criss-cross, or perhaps, consist of two lines from separate directions that chaotically merge into one right in front of the brewery, in what was a classic 3 Floyds DLD memory from the year before Golden Tickets?

Glassware? Y'all need to reconfigure your line metrics to include a new X factor - the Alpha King comic book.

It was at least the Thursday before last year, I remember printing it at work, and took Friday off last year for Barrel massacre.

Assuming they will do it the same as last year is never correct with anything Dark Lord. Last year they announced variants 2 hours before the gates opened. This year they announced them 190 hours before the gates opened.

 

The palladium logo looks like something either from a failed USSR space program or a rejected Russian Olympics logo. Either way, not simply using the FFF logo like they have in the past with a different year on the bottom is a disappointment, but hey, no need to line up or spend $25+ for the glassware, so there's that.

 

37ish hours to go until DLD, that means we need about 2.3 pages of this thread per hour to make it to 100... WE CAN DO IT

 

Is there a map for this years set up

 

Sure is.

 

Great question...I think it was covered 3 posts above yours.

 

I'm legit very excited about this.

 

I also called the Parks and Rec. Ron Swanson swiftly hung up the phone when I asked if overnight parking was an option...

 

I think what you were trying to say is that we need one page every 2.3 hours to hit 100....

 

If anyone was curious, the space logo is taken almost directly from the Soviet Interkosmos Program:

 

What's the weather suppose to be like?
Just helping add to post count to page 100

 

I looked and the only thing I could find was someone asking the same question. No answer or link to said map if so.

 

DOPE.. That's exactly what I meant to say! Also, Im group B... Can I be your Tree House mooching friend for the day

 

My first time going to DLD. I am bringing:
- Byard
- Black Gold
- CW18
- ADWTD
- Rye Barrel Choc. Porter
- Some local stuuf (Cassian Sunset, Cranbic, etc.)

My brother and I are staying at the Hammond Courtyard. I would imagine not a lot of bottle sharing going on there. Anyone have one we could come to Friday night?

 

There has historically been a really good bottle share there in the conference room on the first floor. People from the Fairfield and the Residence Inn come there as the central spot.

 

Here's my tentative bottle share lineup. This is probably final but I keep swapping bottles out haha

HF Earl, Anna, Florence and CD16
Cantillon Kriek
Bruery Sans Pagaie
De Garde Berry Bu and Petit Citra
Lawson's Peril IIPA and Double Sunshine
Lift Bridge BA Silhouette

 

Yeah, same here - could be pretty cool.

I'll be the big guy crashing through the DM glass line to get the comic book.

 

Thanks Paul!

 

That dark lord cocoa cherry should be real nice right about now

 

I'm hoping for no rain but mildly chilly weather to keep all my Treehouse IPAs cold

 

As long as Death Minotaur and Witches Zombie Apocalypse get to the stage I'm good.
