GT Get Together Tonight

by gallagher on May 10, 2008 10:06 AM CDT

Tin Can downtown, down cans of beer inside. In case you've forgotten in the intervening days, what with all the Mother's Day planning, hockey playoffs watching and baseball ignoring, we're getting together tonight to hoist a few beverages in the name of comraderie.

The details all remain the same:

When: Tonight, May 10.

Where: The Tin Can Tavern & Grille at 1909 Locust.

Who: You and us. Confirmed attendees include writers Brad Lee, Chris Gift, Brian Weidler, Childhood Trauma and vendors John Nicolay, Amy Benoist and Clarence Walker. Additionally, we'll have Will Horton there and anyone who remembers the painful days when our site was down due to a hacking attack will want to thank Will for getting us back up and running.

Unfortunately, we know that Jeffio and his lovely bride, Bethio, will not be able to make it. Nor will the Answer Man, meaning that I will have to continue to deny that I am him for another few months.

We'll have a few people start arriving around 8 and we'll continue until whenever. There is a back room that will be the collection point. Hope to see you there!

is there a tv in this ‘back room’ so we can amuse ourselves by verbally and gesturingly ripping Detoilet a new one while we watch the game?

Dooks Says:

“I was there first”

—————

I was there before anybody; I was even there before Chris Gift.

And I worked all day before the GTGT.

No excuses.

A splendid time was had by all… It was rather intersting to meet CT in person.

BTW, the band was playing a really groovy rendition of the late, great John Lennon’s “Working Class Hero” as I was leaving, so I had to stay and listen ’til it was over.

O_o I could swear I was there first. had to be early due to the bus schedule.
remember I was at the table behind you finishing off a sandwich and fries when you and Gift sat down at the bar.
I left not too long after you in order to catch the last bus back home.
