Why do people insist on using something as meaningless and confusing as "12 PM" or "12 AM" for that matter? ITS NOON or MIDNIGHT! or use military time.

wait, what's confusing about 12am/12pm?

Variant Tier tickets bought, electric camping option purchased, just trying to convince a lady on Outdoorsy that we won't burn her RV down at this bacchanalia...
Will be coming in from the Pacific NW, hope to have some cool shit from there to share... might have to send a box of home goodies to somebody so the south is represented too...
See you guys in about a month!

So we're renting an RV via Outdoorsy from a lady who lives in a neighboring town of New Richmond, which means we'll be driving the RV about 15 miles round trip. I explained to her we were older folks, it was part of a greater odyssey (Darkness Day via Portland) where we were going with it, etc... Once I mentioned we were going to Somerset Amphitheater, first question was "what kind of concert?" So yeah, I'm thinking, oh boy, that band list is gonna make her think we're gonna burn her RV to the ground. But I was up front, shared the prior event page with her, and explained we really weren't that interested in the music, we were going for the fellowship of fellow craft beer lovers from all over the country... I told her we would be drinking a lot, and we just wanted to be responsible and stay put, and we were too old for tent camping, I even mentioned I sleep with a CPAP now. Anyway, she agreed, but asked that we not drink in the RV... ANYWAY, we will be in the RV part of the campground, would be happy to be TBS HQ if you guys like, just can't have any puking in the RV

So... guest taps are only Friday night this time?

One complaint about last year... paid for a camping upgrade... perfectly good bath house, but nobody turned the hot water on so we could shower there instead of in our tiny RV shower...
Otherwise, it was a great time, I highly recommend it to all.

Yes, guest taps are moving to Friday and will be beerfest style rather than pay per glass like last year.

We didn't have control over the showers, but know that you aren't the only ones who mentioned it and we've talked to them about it. Let's hope they remember.

If one wanted to only come Friday night, can bottles be picked up then? It seems to imply bottle distribution is Saturday, with a rare bottle sale Friday...

I'm not 100%, but I think bottles are on Saturday only.
