The Patio People invade during warm weather and last night, they attacked
Trinity Hall. Luckily the battle-hardened staff adeptly threw beer grenades with deadly accuracy [lemon wedge optional] and managed to deal with our section’s devotion to Guinness quite well.
New Castle reps plied us with samples and trivia questions which yielded bottle shaped mini flashlights that shined out the New Castle logo like the Batman spotlight. Which gave us an idea…
As an experiment, we will be bringing a 26-inch diameter spotlight to the pub to shine at the bar when we want more pints. I’m sure the staff will love it, though it’s probably not worth the electrical surcharge Marius will stick on the bill.
Speaking of signaling, PapaRyan is thinking of starting the Pancho's of Irish pubs. McPancho's -raise the Irish flag when you want more. We’re going to have to pick a night where we can seriously finish off some stout before the business model is sound. We’ll drink until it makes sense.
Official Party Business - Appearing Soon on a Milk Carton
Attendance has steadily dropped with about half the regulars MIA. One half is concerned about the other half. If we could have an MTV Real World - Mockingbird Station, well that would solve most of the problems for finding time to make it over for a drink. FizzDog could have a tap line run into the condo they constructed for us out of the old Chaucer’s space. I’m not so sure about turning the fountain in the square into a hot tub though.
