Dark Lord Day is on my short list of events, but this year its not looking good. Have a great time and take lots of pics!

[Volt]

Dark Lord Imperial Stout is released once per year. April 24th is that day.

[Resipsa]

The term "Dark Lord" is already taken around here, ;):r

[kydsid]

It is being released on my birthday. Happy birthday to me. :D

[IBQTEE1]

Yes, we will have to do that. ;)

:tpd: Like The Highlander, "There can be only One!":tu

[Scimmia]

I'm currently planning on it, just not sure if I can get anyone to head over with me.

[St. Lou Stu]

I'm currently planning on it, just not sure if I can get anyone to head over with me.

Well, there ya are!!! On a thread about Dark Lord, none the less!!:D


I've got this on my radar, but my current schedule may prevent it... we will see.
If I can make it I will definitely give ya a holler Doug.

[jmsremax]

Hey that's my birthday! :ss

[JE3146]

The one day of the year it sucks to live on the West Coast :D

lol, I still hang around here a bit, just not as much as I used to.

If you're considering it, make sure to watch the Dark Lord site. If they do the Golden Ticket system again, you'll want to get your tickets. If you can't make it, reselling them shouldn't be a problem, they were going pretty high on Ebay last year.

Let me know either way!

[BengalMan]

Alright guys, I'm going to finally make it to Dark Lord Day this year. I've never gone, don't know how it works except reading about the Golden Ticket system. When do these tickets go on sale? How much are they? Finally, I need a group to hang out with, lol. If someone can school the lonely Dark Lord Day Rookie, I think I could handle bringing the cigars for the group. :)

[Jbailey]

I'm planning going with a friend.

[BengalMan]

I'm planning going with a friend.

We should definitely meet up!

[Jbailey]

A Dark Lord Herf could be fun Ian.

They will announce the day the Golden tickets go on sale. You have to watch the website for that info. They were $10 last year with a portion going to charity. You can only purchase two tickets. With that ticket you can buy 4 bottles at $15 each. This info might change this year but I am going by what happened last year. But if you are not able to get a ticket I still say come. It was a blast last year.

[Jbailey]

Do I watch the Three Floyds website or is there another one set up for this?

[Scimmia]

http://www.darklordday.com/

[Jbailey]

Perfect!

[IBQTEE1]

Oops, the website would have helped!! :tu

[St. Lou Stu]

RSS feed subscribed!

I just watched the video and my mouth was watering like a dog the whole time!

[BengalMan]

Looking forward to this! Could one of you do me a favor and shoot me a PM when they release the date that tickets are going on sale? I'm going to try and check it as much as I can, but I'm know to get a bit side tracked and forget about things, despite being important, lol. I have Dark Lord Day on the calendar so I can for sure make it, just don't want to make the drive for no dark goodness.

[IBQTEE1]

So, it looks like they will annouce the Golden Ticket day on Twitter first and then on their website. My friend signed up for Twitter for this event alone. :banger

[Jbailey]

Do you have to be a signed up for twitter to buy the tickets?

[LooseCard]

The one day of the year it sucks to live on the West Coast :D
Looks like you need to follow them in order to know when/where/how to buy the Golden Ticket.



Hey guys, if anybody ends up with a spare bottle.....








:r it could happen.....

[St. Lou Stu]

Do you have to be a signed up for twitter to buy the tickets?

No, but they will announce it there first, which may limit only those on the twitter call tree to be the lucky ones. ;)

[Scimmia]

Sounds like the Golden Tickets will go on sale the 17th of this month.

[bleedingshrimp]

I've had it once in a trade and it was really good...but not good enough for me to travel from VA! LOL!

But according to the people who attend the event, it's more than just about the beer. It's a pilgrimage of beer lovers from around the country who come and trade beers and enjoy the fellowship.

[BengalMan]

Sounds like the Golden Tickets will go on sale the 17th of this month.

Where did you see this?

[Scimmia]

Where did you see this?

The FAQ on the site :D

Someone on BeerAdvocate pointed it out as soon as the new site went up a couple of days ago.

[BengalMan]

Nice find !!

[IBQTEE1]

The new site is up but it really doesn't tell you anything. Yes, I have heard that March 17th is the day the Golden Tickets will start selling.

[Jbailey]

Do I need one or two tickets if I plan on buying the max of eight bottles?

[IBQTEE1]

You can only have one ticket per person and that gets you 4 bottles. You have to bring a "friend" to get the other 4.

[Jbailey]

You can only have one ticket per person and that gets you 4 bottles. You have to bring a "friend" to get the other 4.

So my friend needs to buy a ticket so I can buy another four bottles?

Thanks Kristin

[Scimmia]

You can only have one ticket per person and that gets you 4 bottles. You have to bring a "friend" to get the other 4.

Last year, and I believe this year as well, it's 2 tickets per person/4 per household. They will determine how many bottles you can buy with each ticket based on the total number of bottles they end up with. Last year it was 4 per ticket.

[chenvt]

This had me fooled.. I thought this was a dedication to Bruce

[Jbailey]

Just a beer dedicated to him. :D

[ODLS1]

I should be there with a Golden Ticket if all goes according to plan. Can't wait! My favorite beer to date.

[BengalMan]

The latest tweet:

3floyds: After work we'll put the pot of golden tickets at the end of your rainbow.

Wonder where they'll be on sale? I'm assuming around 5-6pm today?

[St. Lou Stu]

Great! I have to take the rugrat to gymnastics. :(

[Scimmia]

I gotta say, it's pretty funny. Last year they put it up around 4:30AM, so a lot of people were expecting it to be early morning. A bunch stayed up all night waiting for the announcement. Around 7AM, they were starting to get pissed off, then that tweet comes across...

[Jbailey]

They haven't started to sell them yet have they?

[St. Lou Stu]

They haven't started to sell them yet have they?

No

[Jbailey]

That's what I thought, just wanted to double check.

Don't want to head out anywhere today until I get a ticket or two.

[BengalMan]

Honestly, I'm working during the day then busy at night. I'd love to get 2 tickets and go, but in the end, I just don't have time to play the games, which unfortunately is part of the process, lol. If I get em, great. If not, I have a hotel room for Fri and Sat available, lol.

[Jbailey]

Very true Ian.

I wish I knew when the tickets were going on sale.

[Scimmia]

I'm getting an internal server error on darklordday.com, maybe they're setting up for the sale?

Hmm, it's working intermittantly, more likely it's just being DOSed by people waiting for the sale.

[Jbailey]

I joined Twitter to keep an eye on it.

Nothing yet, hopefully soon!

Darklord "Golden Tickets" are available at: http://bit.ly/bjMWaW Have a great St. Patrick's day!

[BengalMan]

And I get to check out and the page is locked up and gives me an error. What a failure of a system.

[Gonesledn]

on sale, but cant get to the payment page... fuggin errors..

[icehog3]

I can't even get that far.....

[BengalMan]

After about 8x hitting "try again" I finally got my confirmation. Got 2 tickets! Right before I was about to head to dinner too. Can't wait for the event, glad it worked out. This will be my first Dark Lord Day!

[Gonesledn]

3floyds Darklord "Golden Tickets" are available at: http://bit.ly/bjMWaW Have a great St. Patrick's day!

Temporary problem
We're experiencing a technical problem and we are doing everything we can to resolve it as soon as possible.
We at 3floyds.myshopify.com apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

[Scimmia]

Got my two. My roommate's still trying.

[BengalMan]

Got my two. My roommate's still trying.

I'd probably put two separate shipping addresses on those orders. The word is they're cracking down on more than 2 tickets per household.

For those still trying, I checked out via-PP, maybe this would be easier? Just a thought.

[icehog3]

I get to the "buy ticket" page and then an error message....bunch of d*cks!

[Jbailey]

UUrrgggghhh

I start cooking and this is what I get!

Will keep trying!!

[St. Lou Stu]

WOOT!!!!!!!

Awesome Tim! Looking forward to meeting up for cigars once again!

As far as the herf goes, there's a fantastic shop in Merrillville, IN, very close to Munster, Karma Tobacco. Thoughts?

[Jbailey]

Urrrgggggh!!!!!

I get to the checkout and choose two tickets and I keep loosing it.

[Scimmia]

I'd probably put two separate shipping addresses on those orders. The word is they're cracking down on more than 2 tickets per household.

The limit is 2 per person or 4 per household. We should be fine.

[BengalMan]

Keep trying Dave. People are still confirming orders and tweeting about it. They seem to be still available.

[Gonesledn]

i think i got an order for 2 to go through, waiting on email.

[St. Lou Stu]

lil hint..... when ya get the error.....F5 (refresh) and hit enter when it asks to re-submit data..... over and over until it works

[icehog3]

Anybody use Payp*l and get charged $20 for shipping "heavy items"? :confused:

[Gonesledn]

got the confirmation email.... but get this....

charged me 20$ for shipping? wtf is that???

[Scimmia]

strange, shipping was $4 on mine.

[MrsSledn]

And I am doing this for you from the other computer too? $40.00 in shipping for tickets? WTF is right!

[St. Lou Stu]

Anybody use Payp*l and get charged $20 for shipping "heavy items"? :confused:

got the confirmation email.... but get this....

charged me 20$ for shipping? wtf is that???

Maybe they're just gonna save ya the trip and send a case to your doorstep?:confused:

[icehog3]

got the confirmation email.... but get this....

charged me 20$ for shipping? wtf is that???

I wouldn't hit confirm because it is telling me $20 shipping for "heavy items", for a total of $40 for two tickets? Please.

[icehog3]

If they were shipping the beer right to my house, I'd consider it....

[Jbailey]

I get my info in and proceed and I get timed out every time.

[BengalMan]

I only was charged $4 for shipping, however many on Twitter are reporting the $20 shipping charges. I'm assuming 3Floyds will reimburse those charged.

[MrsSledn]

Yeah well Wes, you got two more. Your welcome.

Oh and they didn't charge me the shipping. But I got a state tax charge of $1.18. Total amount still came out to $20.00.

As far as I know.

[icehog3]

Looks like it's $20 shipping with Payp*l....I got offered free shipping using Master Card.

[Jbailey]

I went through the purchase screen and it loads it again.

Am I buying more then two tickets???
WTF??


edit

Again!!

WTF!?!?


edit again

"Street address and postal code do not match."
WTF?@?

[St. Lou Stu]

If you didn't get confirmation email, ya didn't buy jack.

The email comes immediately.

[Scimmia]

Go through PP if you can, much quicker since PP isn't overloaded.

A bunch of people on BA are talking about the $20 shipping as well. I'm sure FFF will do something about it, I wouldn't let that stop you from getting the tickets.

[Jbailey]

I DID IT!!!!!


P@y P@l Worked!!!

no shipping

[icehog3]

I DID IT!!!!!


P@y P@l Worked!!!

no shipping

Did you get the e-mail?

[Scimmia]

Congrats. :)

A couple of other people are reporting no shipping charges now. It'll be interesting to see what FFF does with all these shipping problems.

[St. Lou Stu]

Now I went back and it is lightning fast.....


It wouldn't have been any fun if it was like that the first time.

I need a beer.

[BengalMan]

Nice Dave! Persistence paid off! See you there!

[MrsSledn]

I got mine through PP and there was no shipping charges. And I received the email already too.

Wes owes me a present!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[icehog3]

I thought I was successful, FFF website showed me a confirmation number, but I got no e-mail, so maybe I got no beer. :r

[Scimmia]

Sold Out.

Under an hour, impressive.

[icehog3]

Sold Out.

How many tickets were they selling?

[Gonesledn]

thanks my wonderful wife!


lookin foward to meeting up with you guys

[Scimmia]

How many tickets were they selling?

No clue, I don't remember the numbers from last year. I do remember that it took about 4 hours to sell out last year, but that was early morning with no previous announcement of the day.

[gvarsity]

Congrats to those who got tickets. ATT f*d me as my internet was out for about an hour and a half so I never got a chance. I can't complain to much I guess I was at all sure I was going to be able to make it even if I got tickets. Still it would have been nice to have had the option.

[Jbailey]

I got an email, no shipping for $20.

[Jbailey]

Sorry to hear Bob.

[Jbailey]

I think I need another beer now too.

I will see you all there for a drink and a smoke!!

[St. Lou Stu]

Another???? Lush.

[Jbailey]

Guinness is like water to me. I had four of them and two Irish Car Bombs.

I just cooked homemade lobster ravioli and looking for a real beer. :r

[St. Lou Stu]

You drink Irish Car Bombs for breakfast, don't ya?

[mastershogun]

Got an email confirmation but my wife did not receive one... anyone else not get an email confirmation?

[Jbailey]

You drink Irish Car Bombs for breakfast, don't ya?
2-3 is the best way to start a day.


Got an email confirmation but my wife did not receive one... anyone else not get an email confirmation?

I got an email for my two tickets.

[St. Lou Stu]

Got an email confirmation but my wife did not receive one... anyone else not get an email confirmation?

3Floyd's Update:
http://www.darklordday.com/uncategorized/golden-ticket-sales/

Thanks for everyone who purchased golden tickets, that was a wild ride. There where a few hiccups along the way but everything should be sorted out now.

A couple of things to note:

No one will be charged shipping. There was a hiccup in our admin system that caused shipping charges to be added to golden tickets. These charges will not be applied to your credit card. We are removing all shipping charges from your orders.

The site outage was regrettable, but wow, we brought down shopify. We received this email shortly after our services where restored.

Hey guys, Mike from Shopify here.

We’re extremely sorry for the bad showing we gave to your flash-sale of tickets on your Shopify store. I’m afraid you cought us with our pants down with the sheer volume of customers all at once, our datacenter couldn’t handle that many orders a second. We had to disable inventory tracking on all of Shopify temporarily, otherwise we couldn’t keep the system up. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused to you and especially your customers.

Sincerely,

Mike Rochon
Head of Support
Shopify.com

The traffic was amazing. We’ll try and get some actual numbers together for you in the near future. Because of the constant refreshing we’ll be testing for duplicate orders and making sure nobody got charged twice for tickets.

So rest assured we will be burning the midnight oil making sure your tickets get to you hassle free. Until then we’ll be toasting a Three Floyds beer to all you Dark Lord Fanatics.

[Jbailey]

Yeah. That was one hell of a hiccup in the system.

[icehog3]

I feel bad for anyone who balked on buying when they saw the $20 shipping charge.

Do they sell any more tickets for the Dark Lord at the event, or was this it?

[BengalMan]

I feel bad for anyone who balked on buying when they saw the $20 shipping charge.

This was it.

[Scimmia]

Do they sell any more tickets for the Dark Lord at the event, or was this it?

Depends if they have any Dark Lord left after 6PM. Last year, there was some left so they sold more tickets for the remaining bottles.

[Jbailey]

I have heard after all the ticket holders get their beer they sell the left over. Also heard they have another version of the Dark Lord that they don't sell and that only offered by the glass at the event.

Either way you should come down Tom. (I'll bring some Black Boss and Mudpuppy Porter)

[Scimmia]

You could always buy some of the tickets that are already going up on Craigslist. One guy put up a pair for $250 and another guy is selling them for $100/each.

:td

[St. Lou Stu]

OK, so who's staying up there and who is just flying in and out?

I may get a room....... but I dunno yet.

Google says it's a 600 mile, 10 hour round trip. So, it'll take about 8 hours round trip. :tu

[IBQTEE1]

Got my tickets!! Ok my friend Adam got them. He rocks! Holy crap I can't beleive it is over a month away though. Congrats to everyone. See you down there.

[Jbailey]

Just looked at my bank account and it shows right now that I bought 5 sets of 2 tickets at $100. I hope they clean this up or I might have some extra tickets. :D

[gvarsity]

Just looked at my bank account and it shows right now that I bought 5 sets of 2 tickets at $100. I hope they clean this up or I might have some extra tickets. :D

Let me know if you get those extra sets. ;) I'm looking forward to the stories. I have been drinking the Ballistic IPA this week at your recommendation from a different thread.

Now I'm setting my sights on Darkness day at the Surly brewing company in the Twin Cities. Which actually works better for my schedule. I'm 0-2 on Pliney The Younger and Darklord this year.

[BengalMan]

Just looked at my bank account and it shows right now that I bought 5 sets of 2 tickets at $100. I hope they clean this up or I might have some extra tickets. :D

From what I've read, they're going through every order one by one and fixing all the screw up's and over charges. In your case, I'm sure you'd accept the screw up and take the extras, but it likely won't happen.

[BengalMan]

Here is a new blog post from 3Floyds:
We wanted to give some context to Golden Ticket sales now that we have gotten a chance to look at the numbers from the other night. First, we want to say thank you to everyone. If the sheer volume of traffic that we received is an indicator of the popularity of Dark Lord Day, this year will be better than any other, and we are doing our best to make sure that we can meet expectations. After reading through the beer forums, it seems that most of you understand that it’s very difficult for us to anticipate demand for our limited number of Golden Tickets, and that we are making a good faith effort to fix any problems that have arisen. We tried a number of different things this year to try to make the process as painless and smooth for everyone involved. As Lincoln said on Beer Advocate,

Will we learn from our mistakes and work to avoid them next year? Absolutely. Will other mistakes be made along the way? Most likely. As an organization of only 9 people, we appreciate the patience and understanding a lot of people on this site are showing. At the end of the day, We’re just trying to throw a fun party for thousands of people and do it in a way that is the most fair we can manage.

So with that being said, here are some numbers to consider.

* Our store had 50,423 hits by 5,115 visitors in less than one hour effectively crushing Shopify’s servers
* The majority referred through twitter
* darklordday.com had 16,963 unique visitors
* 3floyds.com had 12,542 unique visitors
* #DarkLordDay and “Golden Tickets” were both trending topics on Twitter at the same time.

Pretty big numbers when you take a step back and look at them. And again, thank you all for your patronage and most of all patience while we sort everything out over the next few days. The shipping charges that were erroneously added during the melee are being removed. A whole lot was happening and we were trying to fix the charges on the fly while the site was crashing.

So with all of that in mind, please don’t forget that we are a comparatively tiny brewery trying to plan a kick ass time for a whole bunch of people, and we don’t even know how many people are going to show up. Even with all of the planning in the world a successful Dark Lord Day still depends on all of you out there making it a great time for everyone else that shows up. Keep an eye on Darklordday.com for updates and we’ll see you on April 24th.

[Jbailey]

Looks like I only got two tickets charged, hopefully it stays this way.

I was kinda scared that I would lose all my tickets. I figured since they had all kinds of computer difficulties they would just get rid of all the ones I didn't get an email confirmation for.

[BengalMan]

It looks like I'll be hanging out at the new Montecristo lounge in Chicago Friday night with our Oliva rep for that area Paul. Apparently this place is nothing short of amazing. If anyone would like to meet up for some cigars and drinks, hit me up.

[vankleekkw]

Is there going to be a massive herf at DLD? We have a bus of 20 heading from the north burbs down there.

Well, we have 15+ on our bus of herfers

[Jbailey]

Looks like my friend got a couple rooms so I will be staying down there close by.

[IBQTEE1]

Looks like tickets are going to start going out on Wed. :tu

Wonder if it's older bottle filled up with crap beer and re-waxed. :r

At first glance, it looks to be legit.
I assume that it is already bottled and the label appears not to be a butcher job.
The item location leads me to believe that it is either an inside job or a theft. I cannot imagine that FFF would be to happy about a gifted bottle being sold on eBay... at least at this point in time.:rolleyes:

[icehog3]

$405?

Crap, I'll sell one of mine for $399.99, and throw in an Earl Schieb paint job.

The 10K bidder put in a second bid over 10K, so I have no clue what he is thinking.


Rolxex, bottle of Dark Lord or a squirrel?

I've been saving for a squirrel since was 12.

Final sale went for $12,800.00. That is just beyond crazy. That bottle better have some liquid from the fountain of youth.

Not crazy, Cathy....just plum stupid if you ask me. Glad we will get ours for $15 just for having the patience to wait another 12 days! :r

[IBQTEE1]

Got my tickets yesterday!! Is it the 24th yet!!!

[Resipsa]

I'd
be surprised if people aren't just ****ing with whoever is selling this. Christ, if I'd seen it earlier I'd have made some
righteous bids myself, then had a little fun when the seller tried
to collect, :r

But why would someone with 21 feedback risk having their account revoked just to mess with someone?

Feedback scores are manipulated all the
time Tom, doubt it would matter that much to the person to Start a new account. Who knows that they don't already have multiple accounts. On of the reasons I stay away from eBay.

Received my tickets today, however have an issue. I had some unexpected scheduling conflicts and financial things pop up with our house which from the looks of things, will keep me from going to DLD. Wondering if there's anyone from KY, Indianapolis, OH, or southern MI going to DLD that could get my beer if I sent them my tickets and money? I could come pick it up when I'm near you next for work, or I'd be willing to pay for it to be shipped. Would appreciate it more than you know if someone could help. I'd also get whoever helps out a fantastic selection of cigars for their efforts.

At first glance I thought this thread was about meeting Bruce at that burger joint :D

One of the tickets I bought is for Lou2Row who lives in Ohio. He is going to meet Sledn and another brother there. Lou2Row is a member here. Try PM'ing him and see if he would do it for you. Tell him I sent you his way! ;)

Not that I am counting or anything. But 4 more days until greatness. :banger Planning on leaving about 6am. Drunk by 10am. :tu

[Gonesledn]

i will be there bright and early as well. plan on bringing the big ezup gazeebo in case of rain

[ODLS1]

I can't wait! My girlfriend and I both got off Friday through Sunday. Amazing. I hope to be drinking at 3F at 10am. I cannot wait to drink some Dark Lord. So far it is my favorite beer, and I have only had a few sips of the 2009. 15% abv this year compared to 13% last year. I just hope it's not too sweet. I am about to brew my own massive RIS about 15% abv.

[Scimmia]

I'm still hoping they say how many bottles we can get per ticket ahead of time. Being a cash only event, it can really make a difference.

It would be great to know ahead of time.

Planing on at least $150-$180. Which should get me the eight bottles (if that's the limit this year) and try a few beers and a cab ride to our hotel up the road.:tu

I believe there was a post indicating 4 per ticket on the FFF message board.

Also, they said that they would have an ATM on site.

Either way, I'm figuring on starting with $200. That should last till noon.:D

[IBQTEE1]

You guys are cracking me up, but in a good way. I am planning on being down there around 8am with my slicker. I think it is 4 with each ticket also but don't hold me to that. Don't forget to bring food too. Don't want to drink on an empty stomach.

Bringing some snacks down and a case of water too.

I figured they'd put something on Twitter or someone would say something on BA, but nothing so far (unless I missed it). I know there's an ATM, but that thing would be swamped if all of the sudden the limit was 6 per ticket. I went back to the comments on the DLD page, and someone said they called the brewery and were told 4 per ticket, but who knows.

[Jbailey]

If someone can't make it to the event can you use their tickets or are you limited to your two tickets?

[landhoney]

<---- Jealous. Sounds like an awesome time hanging out, smoking, drinking......and then you get even more awesome beer to take home. Wish I could be there, maybe next year. :xxx

[Gonesledn]

to everyone going, shoot me a pm please. i woulld like to definitely meet up with you. i will reply with my cell#.

i plan on getting out there pretty early to hopefully get a decent parking spot. hope they let me park right away, and not wait till a certain time

Anyone know the awswer to this?

Unfortunately, I am out for this, leg injury didn't heal as quickly as I had hoped. Y'all have a blast. :)

[Scimmia]

Email from Three Floyds when someone on another forum asked:

Hi Ryan,

So the rule is that you can only redeem 2 tickets per person at once - you can get back in line to redeem the other two tickets or bring someone along that isn't redeeming tickets and would be willing to do it for you. Cheers.

Sorry to hear that, Tom. I'm sure we'll have one in your honor.:al

[Gonesledn]

looks like i will have to get back in line to get Bengalmans stuff... dam.

I will try and hook up with you to get your tickets and cash so that I can get your beer for you.

Last call for anyone attending that wants me to bring Founders Nemesis and/or KBS.

I thought about bringing some, along with bourbon county stout, black ops, but i figure there will be so many of that there. I wish I had some good homebrew ready. I should next year. I can't wait!

[IBQTEE1]

I heard from a friend that was at the brewery yesterday that the bottles are going to be $15 a piece.

[MrsSledn]

I won't be attending. But I made you all some red velvet cupcakes. Hope you enjoy! Have a great time. Make sure my husband gets home to his family in one piece.

[lou2row]

Had a great time meeting everyone at DLD today! Sorry I left early but the long drive from Ohio took it out of me, and knew it was the same distance back! Thanks for letting me try your 2009 Kristin, and it was fun talking with you and your friends. Tim, I'll keep in touch when the herf is going to go this fall at my place.

Now that I met a few folks from here, I'll try not to be as much of a stranger!

[St. Lou Stu]

What a day!
Good to meet the ones I have not met before and nice to see old faces!
Stu out... I need some sleep.

Cool pics, Wes, thanks! :tu

Hey, what's that beer....the one right in the middle there?

:r ;)

[IBQTEE1]

Where do I even start? It was great to meet everyone. Thank you Wes for letting me and my friends hang out under your tent. It was nice to meet you all of you. It was nice to see you again Hootie.

[Blindjimme]

Looks like a great time. Totally jealous in a happy for you guys kinda way!

[Jbailey]

Thanks for the pictures Wes, I only took a few (will put them up when I find the cable for my phone). I got to get some that my friends took too.

I had a blast yesterday!

[ODLS1]

I had an awesome time. I was meeting with a lot of other people so I never got around to calling any of you that sent me your number. I'll definitely be there next year! My only regret is not getting any Vanilla Bean or Oak Aged DL on tap. I had plenty of other amazing beers though, more than I can remember.

[Sean9689]

Sorry I missed you all. I got there about 1pm with two friends from StL and we went straight into the brewpub (I know the door guy). We hung out there for a few hours and then went through the DL line about 5:15ish or so with our tickets. No wait at all. It was super-packed...totally crazy. I can't imagine it getting bigger next year.

[IBQTEE1]

Kinda dorky but you can see us standing in line at the 15 second mark.
