    ADDENDUM: i knew i was forgetting something. as we're drinking our great lineup of beer around 8:30PM, we hear a huge crash and see a table flip. a guy walks by DRIPPING beer clutching some beer bottle. his wife is following him shrieking that she is "so fucking sick of this shit" and he's "embarassed us...AGAIN" and leaves him alone at the festival, finding her own way home. there's a video of this somewhere.

    Excuse me.

    You forgot about Will being shat on by a bird in the brew pub line.

    You gave 2 people on our group mini pours of this stuff, and we all got a taste. It was hysterically rough! One friend, who loves hot food, had a huge swig and then had hiccups literally from around 8 or so when we had the pour, until around 7 PM when we left. He INSISTED it was somehow related to the beer. He was SO UNHAPPY. I love it. :slight_smile:

    Thanks for the cups. Glad you enjoyed the pour. I loved sharing beers and meeting new friends. Now if I could only remember their names.

    I'm on the lookout for Bill from Ohio and his buddy who shared the BCBVS, Bourbon Jackie O's and who knows what else. We were hanging out with "RJ" Shoot me a message if you remember sharing beers.

    I saw him once he was in the car but the door was open and someone was also sleeping in the drivers side. We had a good laugh as we proceeded back from White Castle. but good job not getting a PI.

    Oh yes, that was me. I couldn't really leave him a lone at that point. I'd also not slept the night before. A nap was in line.

    That is pretty awesome though, if i had not had practice the night before I would have headed up sooner and probably would have passed out too.

    The one I couldn't read was Brett-something - anyone near our table know?

    Missed the Churchill's Finest :slight_frown: - I was off completing trades at that point most likely.

    my Autumn Maple 100% Brett. No, you didnt miss the Churchill's, you were arguing with the lil guy who was standing on the table the whole frickin day. Sam (Nosignsofpain) had the 10 in her glass and was pouring the 11 from the bottle. Was very impressive.

    just curious, I was wondering if you were one of the people I shared a Guava Grove with at DLD after seeing your ISO:FT for it

    No memory of the Churchill's :slight_frown:

    After reading through this thread, I've decided a couple things:

    1) Walking to White Castle at 12:30 a.m. on Friday night on a bad ankle/knee was a terrible decision, because

    2) I would have loved to have been up for walking back and forth between the tasting tables and my car/tent so I could participate in some of the bottle sharing. Next year, I will not be broken-ass (hopefully) and will be able to move freely between my friends from school and the tasting tables all day.

    3) It's rather important to GET SOME SLEEP the night before DLD. I guess that also goes back to the whole walking to White Castle thing, but I thought needed reiterated.

    Already looking forward to next year! :wink:

    After reading everyone else's stories, I've come to the conclusion that I may not even make the 50th percentile of assholeness at DLD.
