    I know it's still a little ways out, but is someone going to set something up like last year where you could see what all was going to be brought? I thought it was pretty cool idea last year.

    Cheers!!

    I'm pretty sure there will be a few tables set up. The spreadsheet idea was nice to get a look at who was bringing what.

    Hopefully, they will sell tickets this year.

    I fully expect to starting seeing maps posted prior to the event, and sign posts on the day.

    "West Coast Table ->" "East Coast Table <-"

    The 24 hours prior to Darkness Day is practically an event unto itself.

    I respectfully disagree. Selling tickets would mean the drama just takes place at a different time, the event would be more exclusive (some would view this as elitist), and tickets would be popping up all over on CL and here for sale and trade.

    I've heard they'll be hiding all the darkness bottles in hidden lock boxes around the twin cities area. Then ANYONE can buy 1-6 keys & clues for $18 (per key/clue). Then the lock boxes are first-come/first-serve. Kind of an evil easter-egg hunt style thing.

    I'm assuming that would not end well at all.....

    In all honesty, I'm just spreading lies in a feeble effort to get myself a better place in line. :slight_smile:

    I kinda figured that wouldn't happen, but it sounds like something Three Floyds might try... :wink:

    I just wish Surly could get online sales up for Surlyfest!! :slight_smile:

    I get the sense that there will be even more tasting going on. I know my group brought a few bottles but got there later in the night and were farther down the line that we didn't make it up to the main areas. I feel like a lot of people had that happen with them last year and are potentially planning to do more this year (my group included).

    I plan on coming up for the first time this year. What time does the line start forming for wristbands and does the in-street drinking/ bottle sharing begin then? Have only been to KBS release and Dark Lord so trying to figure out what to expect ( and bring to share!).

    The night before for the bottle share/line up; wristbands were handed out at about 7:30am last year.

    This will be my first year camping out, showed up around 8am last year I believe and got lucky when they released the extra batch.

    I am going to try like hell to make it this year. I don't think I have anything that is too hard to get but would love to contribute to the tasting tables.
