THE (midnight sun) SITUATION
I have decided on a name for the next Midnight Sun get together:
THE (midnight sun) SITUATION
So it was written. So it shall be done.
You know what that means? It means we're about to have a situation on our hands. OH SNAPS!
I'm looking at Thursdays in April as potential dates for the social. What Thursday would work best for everybody?
I'm also going to put out another round of Best of the Best of the Best awards. Hold onto your knickers! I'm open to suggestions for silly categories ...
Also, I have visited and ruled out Elliott's as a potential spot for the party. It's a cool corner bar, but it's just too small for a get-together. Or maybe my ego is too large. You pick.
I'll nail down the location asap. In the meantime, I need Best of the Best of the Best Award suggestions.
Sincerely,
Sam Sessa
P.S. -- Today, in honor of Owl Meat, I'm listening mostly to Phil Collins.

This may be a stupid question, but wasn't Canton Arts & Entertainment Center, Gutbusters and whatever else was there supposed to reopen soon? Any rumblings? Any signs of life? Any new fountains or waterfalls?

@Xtreme Cilantro -- nope, just a river of tears from chef hitlerbarf.

I'd like everyone to know that at Sid's in Pigtown I will now be offering a shot called "Chef Hitlerbarf". Please ask me for it by name and get the special Midnight Sun discount.

Josh, that's the greatest thing ever. I have finally made my mark on the world .. The Hitlerbarf! Awesome. I can only guess what's in it.

How about we push it into mid-May so that I'll have had my baby situation?
Posted by: AC-M | March 25, 2010 4:09 PM
LOL at AC-M. Love that you called it your "baby situation" and an early congrats!
I'm up for any date, although I have a standing date with my arm wrestling coach on Thursdays, so I'll probably roll in pretty late.

Best use of Midnight Sun ongoing gags, ie Chris Sligh.
Who is that guy anyway?
Posted by: bryanintowson | March 26, 2010 8:19 AM
exactly.

Like the name! Consider emailing Oh! Snap! to see if he'll fly in.
Good thing you showed the pre-Jesus Pig shot pic or you'd scare the newbies (who have NO IDEA what I'm saying....Zink!)
4.15 or 4.22-best days for your unofficial (official) photographer, a/k/a me. 4.8 def not good...flying to Chicago early next am, pref w/o a hangover from my camera situation.
Get back to you on silly categories.

ryan97ou - the ORIOLES were originally the NYC team before ehe yankees, can we keep them out of the midnight sun too or have they been around too long?
Posted by: Stebbin | March 26, 2010 12:16 PM
April Fool's day is not good for me.. for obvious reasons.. oh, and, i will be in Boston. Other Thursdays are all o.k. with moi. Can we start rummaging around in old jars, nooks and crannies for Euros and crash the Bar at Milan? #justsayin.
