The room here is filling up as quickly as Jerz's Evan Williams is disappearing. Lots of folks greeting each other respectfully and recounting times they followed through on things they promised. Great event so far.

Looks like whoever rented out this event hall before us left about half a case of Pabst pounders in the fridge. That's a win.

There are also some already cooked bagel bites in a Ziploc bag. I'm not sure if they're still good.

Greetings all, tonight's Keynote from yours truly is going to be short, but vital. My thesis, "Promises, Promises", is a very timely take on our awards-based culture and one that Incubus and Naked Eyes fans alike can appreciate...

Wait until the CHORCHers arrive and have them test out the bagels. I'm sure the PBR pounders will attract them.

I drove all the way back East for this shit ?

...Let us speak not of those who will speak for themselves but for those whose speaking need not be spoken for...

Under promise, under deliver is my motto

Anyone selling balloons outside

Yes.

What time is t-shirt dress expected?

smitty gave me a good rec for a strip club outside of st louis on the way back.

She is not expected as much as she is an eternal state of mind for those always in love with the amazon next door, or next tailgate over, as it were.

see you there.

Someone just showed up with two packs of hot dog rolls, but Beez hasn't gotten here yet with the hot dogs. Also waiting on Big Piece with his half of McNeal's grill.

If there are no more questions, I move that we move to the bumper pool room to allow the NY Guys to set up for tonight's live performance. We have a bracket-style double elimination tournament set-up, although no one will be winning or getting eliminated, technically speaking.

First is a red-hot 8 v 9 matchup, RobbyBonfire vs. JeMcgee.

can i smoke here?

Of course, young man, once McNeal gets here with the grill, we'll all be smoking.

depends. can i bum a light?

everyone is around the tv(thanks, bucky!!!) watching the PIPers except jh, who is reading 538 on his smart phone.
