Okay, I've been hanging out here long enough, been kicked off and let back on often enough, and had a wide enough range of conversations with different people, I wouldn't mind popping in at the BroHo and meeting some folks.... How often does this happen and when?

You can almost always find someone on the patio about now

weekdays are best. Seems people only drink work nights these days. I'm on my way there as we speak. I'm the old guy. Norm comes down often enough...more lately. Not sure if he'll be around tonight.

Will be down there a bit...

In a couple of minutes, I'm the tall guy with a beard...
»

I'll be down in a little while

Norm comes down often enough...more lately

Yeah, cause you schmucks drive me to drinking!

So they are good for something

then, huh Norm?

Yep

A couple of them are fun, a couple are even cute...but I don't want to inflate anyones ego. You missed it tonight, S6 came down and told us some stories of encounters with OPD while OC'ing

Cute?

Ah, Norm. You're maing me blush...again.
»

Yeah, we are good for something if you look hard enough

Not all of us are obvious tools.

Yep

Some of you are tools that are better left in the closet.

Norm is the guy

that everyone yells "Norm" when he walks in

Sam and Coach are the bartenders, Diane is a waitress, then there is the postal worker and....ooops...wrong bar.

Tall....bearded.....open carry.....

nope...no profiling going on here.

I should stress

I don't carry in bars...  is illegal and I don't carry and drink.  "Bearded" is more like goatee...  That said, it was great meeting some of you guys last night!

Sorry I missed it, Tammy and

Sorry I missed it, Tammy and I left earlier than normal last night.

Usually on a Friday I'll show up right after 5:00 and see if anyone I know is on the patio. Whether I stay outside or not around 5:30ish I go back in and wait for Tammy, she rarely hangs out back in this kind of weather.

Absolutely!

I expected that you would never open carry in bars.  I was just hypothesizing the law enforcement mindset....

»

Both times

I have been stopped was due to complaints from citizens who saw me OCing.  The first time, the cops were pretty professional and polite, and did not have the benefit of a training directive.  The second time, Officer O'Neill was rude and confrontational and should have known better, per the OPD's own training directive.
