I have it on good authority that we may be lucky enough to have the company of stevenl at the BroHo tonight. Steven informs me that he is presently working on a new comic that is sure to have a special place in OlyBlog lore. We may have to make it into our foundational document -- our Constitution. So, come and meet the artist himself.

Also, there will be prizes for the first five OlyBloggers at the BroHo tonight -- a DVD of "Iraq for Sale" (I bought bulk).

See y'all there!

beer and cartoons

Belinda Carlisle was right, heaven IS a place on earth!

"If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer. If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!"

Wah I wish I could be

Wah I wish I could be there!  I really miss hanging out with you guys!  I would have totally won a prize too...stupid choir... =)

"To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" you can say, "Sorry, got these sacks.""

Likewise! We may show up on

Likewise! We may show up on the late side of things, but Kiki and I are both coming down with whatever cold-y crud is starting to go around. Not sure if quarantine is in effect.

The Cure

Monday Broho is the cure for the OlyCrud, 9 out of 10 physicians agree.
»

More Reasons to Broho

  • Celebrate autumn
  • Celebrate colder weather
  • Celebrate Olympia and OlyBlog
  • Celebrate health before the OlyCrud sneezes and sniffles finally gets ya

Sarah and Norm are owed a

Sarah and Norm are owed a beer, so I am on my way down. Also with sniffles.
»

Whoops

Should have said Janet and Norm.  I guess I owe Sarah a beer next time just for getting her hopes up for the free beer. Didn't see Norm or Janet though, so I guess it's true - there's no such things as a free beer.  Enjoyed visiting with everybody.  Monday nights are tough.  Marylea and I are on a board for the domestic violence and sexual assault agency and that takes two monday evenings each month.

Good to meet Mike

No beer owed, Meta bought me one, although I suppose we could now say you owe her one, just to be utterly confusing and Olympian.

Eventually maybe we can also organize meets on another evening too, anyone have suggestions for good locations? Some of us might require regular infusions of hot chocolate.

You mean that wasn't you who bought me that strange blue drink?

I thought it was a little odd looking for a beer, but I don't ask too many questions when the alcohol's free.  Maybe I should have asked that guy what his name was, though.

Sure, that was me. One

Sure, that was me. One down. Did Norm show and drink the pink drink with the parasol that I left on the table?

lol nope

lol nope

Wait a second!

Meta & I were at the Broho at 5:30! I even noticed the movies, but didn't know they were a prize! Hmmm....

Oh, yeah, I forgot, you are probably disqualified from the competition if you're at the Broho more often than the bar stools....Surprised

Will share

I'll watch the movie then will pass on to OperaGirl who can then pass on to you two.

That reminds me, I have that whole overheard Phil & Meta sweet talk conversation to bribe you all with. Except I can't remember the exact wording, which was so perfect. Nor do I have a photo to demonstrate the expressions you two had. Darn. I'll just have to keep attending Broho meets so I can work up some new bribe material.

Oops...

I should've consulted with my better half before griping. She got a copy of the movie.

In regard to Sarah's claim to have overheard something, I deny it wholesale.  I don't remember a thing.  You can't pin it on me, honest!
»

your better half's generosity...

...cost you some movie immediacy.  Meta handed off the movie so that my household could watch it on condition of it being returned at this Friday night's dinner, whereupon she's supposed to hand it off to Rob.  She also mentioned her gifts being some sort of status symbol around town, so I may just patch it onto my jacket until the 6th.

But where was Norm?

Norm!  Finally, I didn't have butoh rehearsal, and I was all psyched to have a beer with you and preach the virtues of yoga (my friends will testify that I can sound disturbingly like an infomercial when I discuss the benefits of yoga), but you weren't there!  You were missed!  Where the heck were you?  Hope to see you next time.

I really wanted to head down

I really wanted to head down there. Norm had some issues over the weekend and ended up in the ER saturday and monday night. Almost all better now but I was in no condition to drink. I look forward to the yoga pitch! :)
»

Norm okay?

You okay now? Do you want to tell your fans more of what happened?

No matter what, best wishes to you and hopes that you get well soon.
»

Yep, ok now, just a little

Yep, ok now, just a little sore and very tired. What happend is a long and embarrasing story, better told over a beer sometime. I'm trying to think of a funny way to phrase it and honestly I can't come up with anything. Let's just say I was wondering what the hell was going on, and it turns out I have the problems of an old woman.

You have old men around

You have old men around you?  Is there an ER treatment for that?

Great response

Good one!
