What Drinks May Come…
2008, TotC July 3rd, 2008
So, it’s settled. My lady-friend Joana and I will be hitting The Big Easy on Tuesday, July 15 and not letting up until Sunday afternoon. It’s a 10-hour drive so here’s to hoping her iPod holds up and I don’t get too awful tired of hearing 80’s hair bands. Luckily, we’ll be taking the Prius-it leaves more cash for booze.

See anything I missed? Care to petition for your first love? Please do so, I’m easily persuaded. Plus, there are many sessions I’m unable to make but would love to attend such as Sensory Perception, Artisan Still Design, Amore Amari, and many more.
Plus, I already have a couple of rare or hard-to-get ingredient exchanges with fellow bloggers and enthusiasts set up and if you’re interested in comparing notes on what I can bring and exchange with you for thing unavailable in this state with its bullshit laws Oklahoma, I’ll be happy to set something up. Or, if you know of great dining opportunities7 or simply-can’t-be-missed locales for drinking8 or simply would like to get together at some point just contact me through my ‘Contact’ page. Cheers, and I hope to see you there.

LOVE THIS BLOG.!!!!.. LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING YOU NEXT WEEK..
all best, stephen
Holy crap for crap! Thanks Stephen, I recognize your name from your Cocktail Shaker Collectors events in New York and elsewhere. I sure appreciate your visiting and the words of support. I certainly look forward to meeting you as well.
Neat! (read: ‘They like me…they really like me!’ *weep going off-stage*)
[...] organise all the plans currently flying around my head I thought I’d take Darcy, Marleigh and Gabriel’s lead and post up a schedule of where I’m likely to be over the two weeks I’ll be in [...]
We’re touring cemeteries on Wednesday too! Maybe we’ll “bump” into you. *muahahaha*
I’m anxious to see the voodoo queen’s gravesite. I’ll bring my copy of the Necronomicon and my Aleister Crowley bust and we’ll make a party of it!
If you meet Lu Brow, Mixologist at Cafe Adelaide, tell her Larry said hello. She can make a supreme cocktail.
Will do! Cafe Adelaide is certainly one of the places Joana and I have our eye on stopping in. I’ll be sure to remember.
