We're all set for the soiree
I just got off the phone with Brendan from Idle Hour, who said it's cool to have the soiree at his place.
I mean, I was going to have it there whether he wanted to or not, because I play by my own rules, but I was just being courteous, ya know.
He said drinks are free between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.* So get there early.
I'm getting name badges ("Hello my name is") and a Sharpie. That way we know who is who.
I'm hoping the soiree will devolve into something like this.
*Brendan didn't actually say this. He implied it.**
**Ok, ok, he didn't imply it either. I just made it up. But he did say something about knocking a buck off beers and Chartreuse shots.

What do you mean by we, Kemosabe?
It appears a fair number of the Baltimore coterie inflexibly have other plans.
How many are actually committed to coming?

Well, I'd be happy to have 10-20 people there. Are you coming, GDA?
Also, everyone, feel free to bring significant others/spouses/etc.

While intrigued, my appearance is highly improbable. Being in New Jersey, an hour due west of Midtown Manhattan (NYC), not Baltimore makes for a distance problem.
Now if there was a Star Trek transporter available…
