This coming weekend (phrasing), Saturday June 8th to be specific, the first annual DFO LA Metro Pub Crawl is happening.  All DFO lurkers, commentists, stalkers, and authors are welcome!  That includes YOU, so you should be there.  But time grows short and you have to make your plans NOW!!!!!

The concept is simple: We will meet up at LA’s Union Station. From there, for the low low price of $7 for a Metro Day Pass or $10 for a Metrolink Weekend Pass, we will explore the best bars located within one or two blocks (that’s maximum LA walking distance, or so I’m told) of a metro station.  For 2019, we will be exploring the Red Line:

In order to make it easier for our folks in surrounding counties to join us, we will all meet at Union Station between 10:30 and 11:00 AM at the doors of the Imperial Western Beer Company located within Union Station for a kickoff drink as soon as they open at 11.

We will then take the red line subway to the Hollywood/Highland stop where our crawl will begin. During the crawl, we will visit several bars on our way back to Union Station.

The confirmed stops are as follows:

Won’t you please join us?  We are poor and we need someone to buy us drinks!!!!!!!

Also you might get to see me, tWBS, hit on several women and strike out repeatedly in multiple locations.

Everyone but me seems to think that’s amusing.

But just remember, getting that one “Yes” is worth going through the half dozen “No’s” before it.  I wish I had realized that when I was younger.

For more information, go here.

You might even go home with some Sponch.

No that is not a euphemism.

It’s about goddamned time!!!!!!

And if my brain hadn’t been melting for the past several years I coulda beat him several times.  Unfortunately, my recall is slower than it used to be.  Meh.  Getting old sucks.

But apparently Ken Jennings is still the King.

LONG LIVE THE KING!!!!!

In the comments I mean.

I think.

And seriously, if you can get to the pub crawl, we’d all love to meet you.

I mean shit, I’m flying across the country to meet up with those assholes, so you know they can’t be too bad.
