Enlightened Despot Day (March 7th)

I was planning on getting there an hour early. Now you got me worried.

 

That was my plan to. This isn't Resolute day, where it was basically a free for all with the bottles. 250 people will get variants. And Lickinghole is a good drive for many. An hour should be fine, and if not, I'll enjoy the draft and pins.

 

How many of you have been out to the farm? Its a good drive from just about everywhere. I'm going to get there at about 11, if I don't get a coffee or vanilla that's fine, the regular Despot is what I'm going for. Those coffee and vanilla bottles sure do look pretty though.

Also, be prepared to walk through dirt and mud.

 

Any sense of how much of the variants will be on tap?

I'll be there, but I'm not sure what time. I'm hoping to get a bottle of each, but I would also be happy with a glass of the variants and a bottle of the regular Despot.

 

They just posted the pin schedule, they all sound awesome

12:00 - cherry pie

1:00 - graham cracker and honey

2:00 - coffee and biscotti

3:00 - mixed berry

4:00 - mint

5:00 - pecan pie

My guess is that "pie" means vanilla, could be wrong though.

 

I've been to the farm. It literally is in the middle of nowhere, but it's a nice place. It's probably going to be messy like you said. I thought about bringing my dog, but that'll probably be a bad idea. Yeah after Resolute day. I told myself I wouldn't go too early for a release anymore. I'll be there at the same time as you. If I get a variants, then cool. If not then oh well.

 

I'm starting to think that "pie" really means pie.

 

Well, I guess I'll bring my boots!

 

Rolling in with @Hopbully, @ncaudle, and @mocktm. Look forward to meeting a few BA's and crushing some beers. With this incoming weather, the farm could be quite messy Saturday.

 

I'll be there to play in the mud as well.

 

Oh yea. Should be fun!! warmish weather too!

 

Should be a great day! Looking forward to meeting all the BAs on there. I wonder if we should get there early to ensure getting the variants? If so how early? Thanks

 

I'm down in Hickory looking to snag a few Omega Points. If anyone has some variants or regular despots to trade hit me up with a BM after the weekend settles out.

I hope the bad weekend weather holds off. The farm is a beautiful place.

Cheers

 

Does anyone know what conditions the roads will be in Goochland, VA? I'm definitely going tomorrow, but only if the roads down there are in good shape. Winter Storm Thor (thanks, Weather Channel ) didn't seem to hit the Richmond area nearly as bad as it did Maryland, so I don't think I should have too much trouble.

 

Got here at 10AM and there is approx 60 people ahead of us...now comes the 1 hour 45 min plus wait..bring on despot day 2015

 

I'm still ISO all 3 variants of this if anyone is willing to trade some.

 

I got there a little before 11, it took FOREVER to get throught the line, and it sounds like variants sold out shortly after I got through. The regular Despot is so good though, it still would have been worth it if I had missed the cut.

 

I'm hearing bad things. Not just about people cutting, but about employees/volunteers helping others out while there were people still waiting in line.

 

I don' have any concrete evidence of anything, but I definitely saw plenty of people cutting in line. I was kind of worried about it. I don't really know the full extent of it, but if you missed out on what you wanted by 10-20 people, you definitely got screwed by line cutters. People are dicks.

 

No, I wasn't there. I decided not to go, I'm just relaying some things I've heard from people who were there and witnessed it. If I had gone, I wouldn't have been in line though. I just wanted to see some people I haven't seen in awhile and finally catch up with some others.
