Post-Mortem Part I

Hoosier Beer Geek has a great overview of the crazy line situation at Three Floyd's this year.

Beer news dot org reports about frustrated beer fans waiting for in line for 4-5 hours without walking away with any of these devil hops. Guess it's getting harder and harder to sell your soul. Sellers on Ebay with reserves of $90 per bottle, one day after the event.

We're Sorry, Lord

This was sad. Love how they didn't clean it up. People were marveling at satan's silhouette on the ground.

Thank You Munsters

Blake's friends Starbuck, Todd and MDK lets us cut to front of non-moving, half mile long line. Definitely at least 5K people here. Maybe Jen and I will buy 2 full 90 bux six pax.

Lines!

Holy shit, the hype! Thousands of beer geeks!

That's the opposite direction of 3 floyds, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do to meet our dark lord. Blake in back seat. Festivities starting in 7 minutes and the place is already packed, according to reports.

Thinking about Live Blogging from Dark Lord Day 2008

Nephew Blake, Starbuck and Todd and Todd's girlfriend are coming from Worcester Tech. I normally might avoid the crowds of Three Floyd's Dark Lord Day -- but how could a nearly 42 year old dude from NYC who just moved to Indiana (and works in Chicago) pass up this opportunity to see our Dark Lord rise and then lurch in the dark land of Munster, Indiana. I don't even care if I get to even lift that thick, chunky molasses and coffee driven imperial stout to my lips or if it is painfully shoved down my throat by a knife in the hands of Satan -- I'll just be there to hang, man.
