    Do you get a box for the 6 or should I bring my own bag / box?

    You got a cool carrier bag last year with the Darkness label on the side.

    The last two years you got a cloth bag to hold your six. It is actually quite amazing how heavy six of those bombers are. Most people bring them back to their cars after purchasing and either go back for more tap beer, or just leave.

    Of course they tend to tell you that it's cheaply made, and that you shouldn't trust the handles if you have a full sixer. :slight_smile:

    This was so stupid annoying. I thinkg I lost at least one time slot because they told everyone to cram in leaving their current spot and I konw a bunch of people got ahead of me.

    Sounds like a clusterf*ck and people should just avoid it at all costs. :wink:

    I think they just wanted to see how many people could actually stand at 8:00am:grimacing:

    I agree dooshbagalow, this is not a fun event at all and people should probably stay home :slight_smile:

    I saw a few people who had issues with that.

    I think they wanted everyone to get their tents and "structures" down at sunrise and then compress the line to make it (what they thought) easier to hand out wrist bands.

    Nothing was more glorious than the sun finally breaking the horizon last year. It was a very intimate moment to share with the universe while having with a thousand people around.

    Still pretty early. The weather could change significantly in the next week and a half. Hopefully not though. :grinning:

    I was also thinking of bringing this beer you speak of. I may even get a little wild and open said beer for consumption.
