Figured Id start a new thread for this.

I'm able to host a DC area get together to coincide with the LCLF, date would be Saturday April 17th, at my place in Alexandria VA. We will have dinner, drinking, pool playing and perhaps a conference call to LCLF.

I can PM directions etc.. to those confirmed, so far from the other thread I’ve seen SheepProf, Lambchop (my wife is going to love your handle), Me and my wife Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe, and 2Ly.


Please post if your intrested and/or can make it. Im looking forward to meeting some of you nut jobs...I mean folks.

No, not that kind of Nut Job

Happy birthday shithead

Sounds like an idea. I can't plan that far ahead, mind you, but remind me in April...

what does he look like, franklin fucking covey?

I don't know how Franklin OR Covey are, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to se them fucking.

prude.

Prude, rude, with a monkey-like 'tude.

I'm still game to host this shindig. Night of April 17th food and games provided by Casa De Snake.

Unfortunatly thanks to Uncle Sams deep reach in to my wallet for taxes this year I do not expect to be able to provide any quality absinthe for the festivites. My liquor cabnet (such as it is) will be open for all who wish for mixing, or non absinthe drinkers, like my wife Jade- the only REAL Burnt™ absinthe.

I would expect to start around 4PM, I will plan on grilling something to fill our stomachs before the drinking begins in earnest.

I will be there with the sheepprofessor in tow. We can bring along some absinthe, though we have lots and lots of bottles with not so very much in each of them. I'll try to shrink it down into sampler bottles and bring as much as I can.
I'm looking forward to it.
Who else is coming?

Only other responses I have gotten were 2ly, and possibly blackjack above.


The more the merrier.

I will if I can, but don't count on it, seeing as at that time, the Mrs. will be due to pop out a baby at any time.

I can just hear my side of the call now:

.. cell phone rings...

Me (to all of you): Shut up for a minute, my wife is calling!

.. answering the phone

Me (to my wife):
Hi.
Uh huh.
Now?
Um, I can't really drive right now.
I know that, dear.
No, I really can't drive, and make it in one piece.
Yes, I did hear you say your water had broken.
But they have some spectacular HG's, and I saw our first child get born last time.
Umm, yeah, that was a joke, because of course I wasn't implying I'd miss this.
Yes, dear.
Yes, dear.
Yes, dear.
Yes, dear.
... hangs up the phone.

Me: (to all of you): Somebody call me a taxi, so I can get my drunk ass to the hospital!

I had to take my wife to the hospital right after the third strong glass of HG the other night, so you hit the spot with that one.

Congrats on the child!

Don't ever sweat the absinthe angle of
any Louche Fest.
Like in here, it's only the pretext for the
shindig.
When the Paddock Pals visited, we drank
exactly zero absinthes. Guess what? It
didn't matter in the least.

Zouave lives in the DC area.

I'll see how things go. I'd certainly love to attend and meet people.

Birthin' babies should prolly take precedence though.
Yes?
Hey, maybe we could come to you in the hospital!
I bet your wife would love that.

Fuck that.
She can have the kid @ the Fest.
Just put boiling water in the fountain
and have plenty of towels.

Nothing like running around with the afterbirth around people who have had wayyyyy too much to drink...

Wheeeeee...

Not to mention, most likely it will end up as a C-section.

No hard feelings, but none of you drunk fucks are getting near my wife's parts with a knife.

In general, I'd say that that's a pretty good policy.

When my wife had a C-section, they would not even let me watch. There was a husband who passed out while watching, hit his head on one of the sinks and got skull shards into his brain. He almost died... they do not let fathers watch anymore.

But it was cool, as then I got to see the boy same time as my wife. It seemed unfair to see him before her anyway.

I watched the first time. They were careful about where I sat and had it arranged so the angle kept me from seeing the really gory parts.

The crowbar-looking thingies were kinda bizarre.

I actually saw them pull the baby out before my wife, then helped them with the clean-up of the baby while they were counting gauze pads and sewing my wife up. I also got to hold my daughter first.

But once she started bonding with the boobies, my special moment of bonding was done. The next one will probably be when she finds out that daddy has credit cards.

Ummm....
Can we stop talking about C-sections now?

We'd talk about it in the Ladies' Forum, but we aren't ladies.

Be happy we aren't mentioning or discussing episiotomies.

Oh wait, I just did....

Oh god.

Lambchop says uncle.

Okay, I'll stop.

Thank you.

If you have her taken to alexandira hospital, you will be in walking (stumbling) distance.

Indeed I do. At this point, it looks like I can make it to the 4/17 event. I'll know better as the date draws nearer. In the event that I can participate, I'll bring along something tasty.

If I can attend, I too, will bring tasty beverages.

I blame Zouave. He ruined me forever with my first taste of HG.

Ever since then, my wallet has cursed him, but my tastebuds have been giving thanks.

How would you like to carry quads?

My niece just had four girls!

Niece husband and instant family!

Wow!

Congrats on the newest additions to the family, Spuck!

Your niece deserves a medal.

That is pretty amazing. But I'm glad I just have one on the way. If I was the dad to quads, I wouldn't have time for diapers. I'd just line them up and use a hose every few hours. Babies are incredible little pooping machines.

Blame accepted. How about that Pignon, huh?

Dammit, I never got to run my c-section sound gag.

No really, you too can recreate the sound of a c-section at home.

Good lord, Gimp.
What are they gonna do with all of those babies?
Congratulations.

ohboyohboyohboyohboy!
Zouave and Justin, I hope that you can both make it.

And good news!
We'll be sampling some ADN, as the kind author of said beverage has contacted me to arrange a trade.
We get to write a review.

Great!
More Spucky spawn.

There is a thread over at LFV about foods that go well with Absinthe, with that idea in mind Id like to offer up a few menu type selections for people to weigh in on.
(I hope no one coming is vegetarian)

Beef Brisquet BBQ Texas style would be my first choice, but likely to be heavy.

Spaghetti with meat sauce

Good ol burgers and dogs on the grill

Chicken Fajitas

Any other suggestions welcome.

That, that, that!

The talk of BBQ brisket forced me to make one on Saturday.

I must say, I’m a decent cook.


I'll plan on making another one on the 17th. If I start it early enough in the morning it should be ready by 4 or 5 PM.

Good, because I'm not. I open a mean bottle of absinthe, though.

I'm in DC right now.... PM me... let's go boys!

Where's a good place to go at 2:30am?

dude, you're a nut job!

"Hey ....I've got a 10 minute layover on the Geryhound bus here in Oklahoma .... It's 3:15 and I'm ready to get some drinking in ... PM and we'll hook up."

DG

2:30 AM

That’s when I woke up with a muscle cramp this morning.

Did you do that?

Where in DC are you staying? How long?

I will be in town this afternoon, at L’enfant plaza doing some work at HUD.

Dude, you're gonna be pissed (mad pissed, not drunk pissed).
We got kicked out of a bar/club last Saturday night for a prompt 2:00am closing.
I was astounded.
Stupid nation's capital....

No place I can think of around here serves drinks after 2 AM. Hell quite a few have last call at 1.

stupid 2:00 am

Thats why I have a stocked bar, and pool table.

Much better than DWI's
