Mark The Calendar: GT Get Together

by gallagher on May 1, 2008 12:01 AM CDT

There are 2 of these at the Morgan Ford location with GT stickers on them. It's the perfect storm, really. We like to drink. You like to drink. We all like hockey. We all like to drink.

So, fuck it. Let's get together and drink.

The GT Staff cordially invites The Internet to come hoist a few with us, lament the lack of a playoff season, revel in a future of watching great young stars wearing our jersey and to drink. (Did I mention the drinking part?)

Mark your calendars and tell your momma (or baby momma) that you're going to be hungover when you celebrate her Hallmark holiday on Sunday, because Saturday, May 10th will be the date to get together and make some shit happen.

Here are the details:

Date: May 10, 2008

Time: We'll start dragging in around 8 p.m.

Place: Tin Can Tavern & Grille, downtown (1909 Locust, St. Louis, 63103)

Who: You and us.

We'll have several of the GT writers and vendors in attendance and as special guests, the two guys who helped us get our website fixed when we were attacked by a virus back during the season. If you love this site like we do, you find Will Horton and Kevin Wilde and buy 'em a beer. Of course, we will have already over-plied them, so your help will only be piling on, but what the hell, we owe them.

How to find us: There will be a band and other assorted whatnot going on, but we'll be in the back room. We'll have a bunch of GT stickers available to give away, so look for a stack of circle logo stickers on a table to find the epicenter.

Free beers? Nope. But hey, we're men of the people. The Tin Can is based on can beer at ridiculously low prices, so that PBR is only gonna cost you $1.75. Yes, they accept change.

We'll be there next Saturday. Will you?

I can’t make it. I’m not back from finals until a week from Sunday :(( Dammit…..I’m sure the finals schedule was made by a red wings fan. FUCK DETROIT

I can’ make it either. I’m four and a half thousand American miles away.

A toast in your direction, though. Skål! (“Cheers!”)

AM is a no go. The next day is Mother’s Day and Answer Mom likes me fresh.

It can’t be THAT difficult Marcus. Can’t you rent a car and ask for unlimited kilometers, nautical miles, and miles?

Will Teej be there? we can buy him a beer and a stripper.

hey marcus, i suggest a hovercraft. it will go over water and land. in fact, according to this website (http://www.instructables.com/id/Hovercraft/), you can build your own for under 200 American dollars. not sure what the current conversion rate is with the slumping US dollar, but it sounds like a good investment. unfortunately, i’m thinking with the top speed, you’ll be lucky to make it by opening day of next season! just remember take the altantic straight into the gulf of mexico and make a right when you get to the mississippi. st. louis will be on your left directly behind the giant aluminum croquet wicket. if you get here early, feel free to take a right into illinois and indulge in some of the fine entertainment clubs that side of the river has to offer. just watch out for port authority and homeland security!

well, now that i wasted time looking up hovercrafts on the internets, i’m going back to work. i’m a no go for the get together, finals and papers and whatnot. have a beer (or seven) for me!

I don’t know about Teej, but you can certainly buy me a beer and a stripper… ;-)

I’ll be there, unfortunately minus Mrs. GTPD (who has to work that night), so anyone who wants to talk about prospects and Rivermen guys, look me up. I’ll be the one wearing a Blues’ sweater…

I should be there, possibly with the lady (who has come to know and love GT).

Believe Chia told me in a drunken stupor last-night (bastard’s already done with finals) he’d attend as well.

marcus just has to keep jumping and let the earth revolve while he is in the air, shouldnt take more than tweleve hours of air time.

Think we are definitely going to try and make it! Hope to see John (my favorite vendor) and Jeffio & Bethio!

Jumping/earth revolving and building a hovercraft is both good suggestions that I’ll give some serious thought.

But I was thinking more in these lines: If one of you guys over there would be nice enough to drive a big pole in the ground, and I could do the same over here, then we could have some nice soul drag a metal wire between the poles, and then I could use it as a hangline (is that what you call it?) and glide all the way over. Cheap!
