we just got kicked out of the bar. at 1am. These semi-southern conventions, I don't know what's up with them....

(we were being perfectly well-behaved, if rude in our haiku and double entendre. My reputation is once again shot assured...)

I think I _opened_ a Bar at Ravencon this year.

And y'all might consider suing over the trauma cause by alcohol deprivation.

dude, the writers are ALWAYS the ones to get kicked out of the bar... either at closing or... well... you know.

[lagilman]

we had finished our drinks and were just sitting there talking -- it was an open space, so not like they had to bolt the doors or something! I think they were anti-pun snobs.

heh... well if it makes you feel better... they kicked us out of the OpusFest bar too. i think it's a writer thing. :::nods:: like a checklist. have been kicked out of a bar.

[burger-eater.livejournal.com]

Were they closing or something?

[lagilman]

piffling small detail....

(closing at 1? Who do they think they are, Boston?)

Is that what's wrong with my writing career? I've never been kicked out of a bar?

[lagilman]

You haven't really 'made it' until security has kicked you INTO a Tor party...

[onyxhawke.livejournal.com]

I still want to know how they manage to have their parties which tend sometimes require that people bend the laws of space time to fit in the same party without getting shut down for over crowding. Worldcon Boston was just insane.

Not being a Tor author, I fear I am not in danger of that honor. Even if I attended cons . . .

I'm not a Tor author, but anytime I'm passing a Tor party, an arm will snake out and drag me in. It's like a black hole: once you cross the Event Horizon of a Tor party, you're inexorably sucked into the strange warp of space and time and can't get out until they run out of food or drinks.

So what you're saying is, Tor snacks and drinks distort the space-time continuum?

(the weird part is that neighbouring parties, despite stocking up from the same sources, don't exhibit this effect)

Well, HELLLOOOOOOOOOO!

I am catching up on my B-con correspondence and notes and what not- the late hour is due not to laziness*, but rather that your card somehow got dropped between seat cushions and I had a devil of a time fishing it out- after searching through all of my luggage! It is now happily residing on the fridge, helping to hold up my daughter's turtle picture and to remind me to check out Amazon tomorrow, unless there's a better place you prefer.

I am looking forward to the Vineart books very much! The monkey-embossed German red I was telling you about was an Affenthaler, made from Pinot Noir grapes. But I believe it was a lot lighter than most Pinot Noirs I've had. Honestly, it's been a while since I had it, though, so if it's swill... then Patricia was feeding me the information. Yes...

And by golly, I am working on that recipe book. I may make up a scotch ice cream, just for me and you. I'm not sure how I'd work that into 'geekdom,' but wow, I will have fun trying. I've made Guinness, wasabi, and mango/mint ice cream, scotch should be fun. Or horrible. I guess I'll find out. I was telling my husband about the recipe ideas, and he said, "Of course, you have to put your gazpacho soup in it," which is fantastic considering he usually dislikes both squash and cold soups.

Hope you're having a lovely time and have a safe ride home.

*Although possibly due to insomnia, but by gum (and bon-bons!), I shall write to all the people I miss before I go gently into that... good thingie.

I'm a firm believer in supporting actual bookstores whenever possible, but if Amazon is your vendor of choice, that works, too.

And keep me updated on the cookbook project! It really did sound fannishly fascinating.

[shaysdays.livejournal.com]

Amazon is not, I'll have the indie place order it, then.

I will! I may call upon you to test a recipe for me at some point.

Being kicked out of the bar at the HV Marriott has (for me) for many years been the highlight of attending Shore Leave.

I'm glad you've had the delight of the experience.

I was happily asleep in my room while you were being disbarred.
