I was reading a thread from last year that said the last people to get wristbands got there at 730. I assumed there would be a lot more people this year.

I'm not sure of our plans for when we're getting there. It won't be to camp overnight, though that'd be fun as $hit. Juli has to work Sat. morning until 8 or 9, so it'll be after that. I may just wait 'til the event actually starts and get my bottles after the wristbanders get theirs. It sounds like there's plenty of Darkness, and I'm on lists at two shops who say they're getting it as a fall back.
According to Surly's site, there'll be two cask offerings as well as all the regulars, some local bands and grub, so we'll definitely come for that.

CDub, I have a Weber Smokey Joe and a Coleman propane camping grill (griddle and burner). If you want to use either for tailgating, hit me up and you can come pick it up.

As for BBQing, any requests? I love to cook and can fire up the smoker later this week. I was thinkin' pulled pork, maybe some baby backs.

Adding a couple to the list, found a few barrel aged Widmer offerings today:
'11 Galaxy Hop Barleywine
'11 Barrel Aged Brrrbon

Call it a hunch, guys, but I think we can safely call this one an epic tasting!

I agree! Can't wait man, it's going to be crazy. And completely exhausting.

Nice!! I'm looking forward to trying that Troegs fresh hop. I'm gonna do some searching for Wet for ya tomorrow, and some other things to throw in the tasting mix.
Thanks to Skeezer, I also have a little plan for all the bugs from the sours that we'll be drinking. We can all talk about it on Saturday over a few (dozen) beers.
