    Line of cars at 3:15 was humorous so we hit up a random liquor store and scored some Rum King. Heading back that way in about 20 minutes.

    Flight to Dallas was cancelled so I am here another night.

    Early AM flight out tomorrow. Currently at the airport Hilton.

    Per Omar, this year's BA Darkness is aged in first use barrels, whereas last year's was second use.

    That will make all the difference in the world. Much more excited for this year's BA then.

    So, how many of you have already staked your spot out in line and high tailed it back to the hotel for the night?

    except if it's only been a few months in the barrel as suggested by Surly's page that could potentially mean it's barrel forward to a fault. straight barrel juice/dragon's milk territory, which the blend of last year's was not. time will tell. interested to try it. hope both are on tap tomorrow.

    So are there over 1500 people there already? Or is there a chance those of us who plan on showing up after midnight can still get a wristband?

    It's hard to say. The tents really spread people out. The parking lots are full so anyone showing up will be at carabou. I dont think there are anywhere near 1500 people. Raining like a mofo now.
