Schlitz Beer, the original 60's formulation in the bottle? Is actually pretty darn tasty. Having wmslawhorn & makotohanabi here, sitting on my sofa, drinking Schlitz? Priceless.

K.G. stopped by with the Eggleton painting they bought in the art show that wmslawhorn and makotohanabi were going to drive home for them. It took two trips by the bellman, but ...

Denvention, day four

Woke up early, dropped off my Friday night party review article at the newspaper, then went to help wmslawhorn and makotohanabi get ready for the WSFA/Disclave/Capclave Bloody Mary breakfast. This was not as popular as we'd hoped, although several WSFAns did stop by, as well as other recovering party-throwers. The Peggy Rae's House in 2010 bid garnered 39 votes. Not bad for a ...

The Pogues and Hate and Work and Stuff

Went to go see the Pogues in concert tonight with deaklet , wmslawhorn , and makotohanabi . Company was great. Concert was quite good but not spectacular.
