You always knew it would come to this.
advertisement
Ryan and Myk cordially invite you to tear the roof of their shiny 750-square-foot sucka (plus balcony!) on Friday the 16th of May in the year 2008.
Yep, it's time for yet another Columbus Vinemeet, and this time Myk and I will be hosting in our tiny-but-fabulous one-bedroom condo. Beers and barbecue and deep discussions about controversial meta matters. Please come! We're counting on you to help us christen the place.
Lodging
First Come, First Served
Our Apartment: Room for 9*
We have one pull-out couch that can sleep two and a full-sized air bed. We can probably sleep an additional four or five people around the floor.
The Guest Suite: Room for 8*
For a mere $35 nightly, you can sleep in the luxurious efficiency conveniently located 20 feet from my condo. There is a pull-out couch that (probably) sleeps two and two twin beds, and maybe three or four sleeping bag spots if you're crafty.
Katy Baxter's New House: Room for 10*
Katy says she's got a futon that sleeps two and room for six to eight more who don't mind sacking on the floor.
*Note: these are generous estimates.
Hotels
I live in the damn suburbs, so any hotel is going to be a bit of a drive. The nearest hotel is the Hyatt Place Dublin-Columbus. Here are directions from our place.
Specialties!
I'll cook breakfast for anyone staying in our apartment or at the guest suite across the way, as well as anyone who can mosey on over early enough. I'd also like to do some barbecuing if weather permits (we have a sweet little hibachi that's aching for action!) Please put in your bids for what you'd like me to prepare and, if you can spare it, pitch in $5 for supplies. We're broke as the COTA bus, you know.
Things to Consider
Taxis are unreliable unless you're going to or coming from the airport and public transportation is a joke. (Seriously.) If you're not staying with us or with Katy Baxter, consider splitting the cost on a rental car and designate a driver to get you to your beds after we've done did it up.
If you're flying in, we can pick you up from CMH. Please give us advance notice of your flight times (Kymlee, Calvin), since we'd like not to have to make more than one trip.
I'm trying to book a show with my band for this same weekend. If you're terribly disinterested in seeing the Flotation Walls, please let me know now. Also know that this show will probably be 21+, so if you need a new ID Bilokonskys please secure one before you make the drive. :)
Right Now: Please check in on the comment thread below and indicate whether you're coming, and let us know where you'll be staying. Oh, and remember to pack extra undies and socks, and bring a sweater, you don't want to catch cold!
Right! Jerry, will you be back from Texas in time for the party?
JUST SO THERE IS NO CONFUSION, THIS EVENT BEGINS ON THE 16TH OF MAY! Kthx. (^_^)

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I'd love to see the Flotation Walls.
I will be driving, so anyone who'd like a ride from the Chicago area (LAUHAL, I'M LOOKING AT YOU), shoot me an email. Obviously, then, I'll have my car and can ferry people between the S-S-B condo and the hotel.

Hey, I've got enough confidence in my masculinity (alcoholism?) that I can be comfortable drinking something with an umbrella in it.
I'm rightfully famous for the quality of my Bourbon Sours, even though the lemon juice makes them a little bit girly.
Mint julep? Sure, sounds like something Scarlettt O'Hara would sip on a hot Atlanta's-burning evening, but quite thirst-quenching, and the mint aids digestion.
Now, a Cosmopolitan might be a little too Sex and the City, but the similarly named Manhattan, since it contains rye whisky, gets an automatic allotment of testosterone points.
There are few things with more girly associations than blender drinks. But I've travelled all over the Caribbean in the last 15 years, so I can perhaps be forgiven if I have acquired a taste for drinks like the Dirty Banana and the Bushwhacker (note the contents of this Virgin Islands fave, though. Heh. The only mix is nutmeg and ice).
The cocktail I'm planning for copious consumption at this Vinemeet, though, is my contribution to international relations, the legendary Canadian cocktail, the Bloody Caesar. Again, it could be argued that this kind of drink carries, er, feminine connotations, but I can assure you that -- not only is it a refreshing spicy beverage -- a few of these will knock you on your toga.
So, I guess what I'm saying (and of course, no defensiveness here) is that if girly drinks like these mean that I'm a lightweight, then hell, I'll start mixing Shirley Temples. But I'd really want to hold out for at least a Dirty Shirley.

You couldn't have our man-love even if you [insert something slightly wild... but not too wild].
Now, a Cosmopolitan might be a little too Sex and the City, but the similarly named Manhattan, since it contains rye whisky, gets an automatic allotment of testosterone points.
I am also a fan of the Manhattan, both the place and the drink.
I've also been known to fancy a summer Mojito, a classic margarita, and the occasional lemon drop martini (why does citrus automagically make things girly?), but usually, I stick with shots, Jack & coke, Soco lime, dirty vodka martinis, Screwdrivers, and Bloody Marys (and these usually only if someone makes them for me).
I'm a simple man. Lazy, too.

Yeah, see, this is the problem. I'm supposed to have the dubious honor of being graced with your "add a little more sugar" man-love, all the while trying to interpret what might qualify as "not too wild"? Forgive me if I just sit in the corner and do crossword puzzles while emptying the bottle.
I'm a simple man. Lazy, too.
This, however, I have to commend you upon. It's the secret to all serious drinkers. Who the hell can be bothered to get up and mix a bunch of disparate ingredients up in a blender when there is a perfectly good bottle already in arm's reach?

Just give me a bottle of Jack and I'll be fine. Just keep champaign far away from me. ...Speaking of which, I'm surprised Myk and Ryan are letting me come considering last time I threw up all over Myk's floor. Twice.

That's really just an invitation for you to test precisely what brings out the sharing of man-love. No control variables for this experiment, by the way.

SLIGHT change of plans on my behalf.
The mgmt at that location tried to switch and bait about four different things (deposit, rent, water fee, pets...) and so we told them to stick it up their ass.
Luckily, though, we've found an even bigger place (for a lower price!!). It's right off Riverside Drive. So I can definitely still take anyone that needs to crash as stowaways, and I'll have even more room now, including a basement.
So in total - one large couch, one futon, and one airbed - plus three large rooms with plenty of floorspace.

So I don't think I can make it, but kymlee is a rather convincing woman and she's trying to dupe me into flying with her and sharing a bed (oh pretty pretty pretty please let us have a bed). I want to meet....well everyone. I have "buts" trying to hold me back but my buts aren't good enough to print, they seem so feeble on page. Rest assured, though, in my head they're pretty convincing.

Agreed. Rum is for pussies.
Not if your play rum pong. ;-)
It wasn't until halfway through the first game that we realized that we probably shouldn't have poured double shots in a two-vs-two game, because beer and rum don't have similar proofs.
Plus, all that sugar bloats you up.
Nah, that's what beer is for.
Vodka is tasteless in the same way that oil is tasteless. The cheaper it is, the harsher it is, and it lingers on your palate like McDonald's ground chuck.
Depends on the vodka. I remember having a friend of mine who lives on scotch try a shot of Absolut and a shot of Ketel One -- he was amazed that there could be so much variety in bland, bland vodka. :-p
Of course, I didn't give him Popov. That would've probably made him slap me.
I'll drink it in a very dirty martini if I have to.

Rum is for teenage girls on the jagged cusp of pregnancy. I'm sorry Celestina but you've married a bra wearing homosexual lesbian woman. Who is also a little girl with pigtails. And pink bows. Missing her 2 front teeth, covered in freckles and wearing a brand new dress because he just had to have a nice new dress for spring. Knee socks!
Vodka is good only good for killing unwanted houseplants or washing tyres.
I can slam whiskey, or I can sip it. That said it's Irish sipping, so that's...
half a shot a sip, 1/3 if you're lucky. Whiskey is an aquired taste, so aquire it.
And James Bond is a relic of impotent British cock waving imperialism. A vodkatini is a bastardization of a martini, which is the only true "tini".
.... I may sound like a ponce but I'm not above drinking a jagershock.

I've yet to try SKYY 90, though. That was hyped for a while, and the bottle just speaks to me as a minimalist.

I've been drinking vodka in one way, shape or form for more than 30 years, and while I can choke down Absolut if I have to, these days I pretty much always opt for Stoli: affordable, still pretty damn good, and hey, it's Russian.
For rum, Appleton's Special Estate Reserve dark rum. If that's for pussies, I'll join Stacey as part of the club.
Jameson's works for whiskey on the cheap, just as Ryan says. If I've got a couple extra bucks, Highland Park single malt is awesome, and if I've got a couple extra more and I'm feeling feisty, Lagavulin works pretty good, too.
For rye whiskey, it's tough to beat a good Canadian rye. You can pick either Crown Royal or Gibsons, but I prefer the 16 year old Gibson Silver edition. And like Dave, I'll slam it, sip it, or even drink it in a mixed drink if you really really force me.
Then there's Wild Turkey bourbon and Sauza Gold tequila (which will work if there's no mescal available). But for god's sake, if anybody brings out that godforsaken Akvavit? I'm running for the bathroom.

Admittedly, I like my dirty martinis with more than a splash. I don't really measure, but it's probably around 5:1. As for checkers, I haven't played the real game in... at least 10 years, so there's really no way in hell I'm going to play rum checkers. :-p
But I suppose you'll make up for it with my Nan's drink of choice.

You know, any of you is welcome to swing by my Ventrilo server whenever. I don't want to post the details here, like I need more drive by weirdos. LOL But the server is up 24/7 and I have a channel called something like the Channel at Pooh Corner and folks are welcome to pop in and just chat even if I'm not there.

Hey Jack, my initial choice of transportation apparently doesn't exist anymore, so maybe we should all consider a little car pool. I think Eric wouldn't mind a ride if one was offered either.
And when I say a little car pool, I don't mean in your extremely little car ;-)

I did New York in 8 and a half (minus city driving).
Well, I'm up around NYC now, so it'll probably be around 8 hours. Oy.
Besides, there are more than a handful of turnoffs that could save your ass $200. I've used that trick more than once.
By this, you mean using a turnoff to lose a cop already on your tail? Or... what? I'm naive in the ways of police evasion.
Alright, that leaves Hob's car, which I pretty much assumed was what we were taking. It's comfy, and I like the dash layout.

AH!
No group, collective, organisation, government or conglomeration may use
"David Mc Girr" as any kind of moral, legal, social, or philosophical yard stick.
He in no way represents the Internet, he is not it's spokesman,
and any claims that he is "from the Internet" made by him, or a third party are groundless.
Only these people officially represent the Internet. And David Mc Girr is not in that picture.
Claims that he is the portly, angry looking red-head in the middle are groundless.
In summary he has merely taken up residence in various corners of the Internet,
and physically built himself into the code. He can not be dislodged.
As a result "The Internet" (i.e. everyone else) should keep their distance from him,
and never refer to him in the third person.
On a side note David Mc Girr is currently being pursued by the Miller Brewing Company for the "ludicrous use" of the phrase "it's miller time" and is embroiled in a class action suit with English departments from a number of Universities for claiming that he "invented the question mark" and his frequent demanding royalties from signs (or other public information) containing the symbol.

cute, if you are around I'll be drinking at the jolie rouge later...
I'm sorry I didn't see this until the morning. We were all in Fletcher last night, getting very drunk.

I wish I could attend, but living in the Seattle area makes it difficult.
Here's a funny side note on Newsvine in general, though:
Okay. I go to the Northwest Science Fiction Convention for three days this week. I have a few sci-fi books out there, a magazine, a couple of websites, and I am actually COVERING the convention for the mag.
Fine.
So, a few people recognize me. Not many. They all say, 'Yeah, I've seen some of your articles at that Newsvine place.' No one knew about anything else, not the books, the mag, anything.
Just Newsvine. Go figure. (scratches head and laughs)
