2008 Convention--It's so on. For reals this time.

[Modern Drunkard]

Details to follow. We're off to an early start this year, planning-wise, so we're open to all sorts of suggestions. Passes will be available in a week or so.

What we have lined up so far:
Bands (TBA)
Burlesque
Drunkard Dating Game (romantic hangover brunch at a filthy dive bar with open tab for the lucky winners)
Seminars
20 Pint Gauntlet (open to all takers, your beers are free if you finish within 8 hours)
Drunkard tattoos available on site
Drunk Poetry Extravaganza
Propaganda Speeches by people who are, quite frankly, way too drunk to be standing, never mind operating a microphone
Elvis (Will conduct at least one marriage ceremony)
First Annual Modern Drunkard Short Film Fest
Drinking Story Contest
The legendary Mojo Nixon will be on hand to cover the event for his radio show

I needed an excuse to go back to Denver. This could get ugly.

I cut her loose.

[waahoohah]

This gets posted two days - quite literally, mind you, two freaking days - after I finalize my vacation plans for the summer. Fuck.


Fuck, and fuckit, I'm doing both.

[Screwball]

Since my trip to Chicago this weekend went to shit, I got to get to Denver for this.

Must talk to my banker about starting a savings account. Need a new pickle jar.

[Bundy]

[SternoBoy]

I'm there.

Denver? So much booze. So little air.

5 months to go. Everyone better start training for high altitude drinking.

Routines should include drinking Sailor Jerry on your roof, or atop ladders and table tops. Don't come down til that bottle is finished. Yes, the big bottle. Becoming asthmatic will also simulate the lack of oxygen for sea-level types.

Fuck, I love this state.

[Screwball]

Does going to a high altitude affect drinking? Do ya get drunker quicker? If so, then cool, my vacation just got cheaper.

I'll train anyway. Got a 12ft ladder and a bottle of Jerry.

Si, senor.. Less oxygen in the air, so the booze kicks the back of your brain harder.. You're going to be wearing nancy-panties by the end of the night..

That also explains why Colorado drivers are some of the worst in the US; they're spacing out on "wooo, look at the mountains.. where was I going?"..
