Oh Boy! Rotational Thursdays with Litre!

Hey there. At the moment that this is posted I will be in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Thai food? Phenomenal. 

**Note I was quite inebriated when I originally wrote this so it really bounces around a bit. BUT I HAVE IMPORTANT NEWS!**

So, I was stoned, and I decided to throw out a question to the DFO folk. I asked if there would be interest in a DFO Con in Vegas in November?

You see many things have been planned and accomplished at DFO, we aren’t the basement dwellers as stigma would say (for the most part). For instance, I’m looking at the liberation of the Arsenal flag (allegedly) when DFO East met up last year. DFO West has done pub crawls (which killed me to miss),  and there was a chat about DFO Central for the draft in KC this year.

Fuck it, I was going to be working 3 months straight and that is not the European lifestyle I long to achieve. I thought I would just go fishing and boy howdy did it take off.

DFO meetup and all of yous are invited! Lurkers too! It legit is happening, bring your skinsuits, jaunty hats, fleshlights, tuxedos, Riley Cooper jerseys, or all of the above. Let’s go!

We will be staying downtown for the weekend of Nov 3 -7/8. There is a football game as well and some of us may attempt to buy tickets. Danny Dimes vs ( I have 0 clue who the Raiders QB is). It is VERY pricey at about $350 a ticket, but there is also a Knights game which would be a bit more affordable. Or Yeah Right seems to be musing about organizing dinners.

If booking the hotel then definitely shop around as the rates varied from site to site and some were cheaper than the hotels site itself. Definitely book downtown as it is cheaper and that is where we will all be staying.

The Saturday I feel will be best served by posting up at a sports book watching football and drinking our weights. I have always wanted to just become a sports book potato for a day and this could be it.

I would think that there will be at least a dozen DFOers making the journey. I pressure all to lean on Hippo to leave North Cakalaky on a plane!

*Full disclosure, Mrs. Cola (BC Dick’s sister) paid for one leg of my ticket because she is tired of me balking on DFO meetups.

I would also like to invite any DFOer to a wine tasting that I will conduct in a park, lobby, bus stop, I just need to know how many people. I’m serious, if anyone is interested. It would take about an hour and would change everything you know about taste and wine. It is called cause and effect and will change how you view food and wine pairings

Top 3 Litre stoned moments (vaguely remembered)

1. Going in the Euro 2008 draw for “Follow my team for Spain”
2. Getting high, being pissed off and applying for a job in Scotland.
3. Posting in DFO Org, soooo meetup in November?

Ok, back to the normal nonsense

Last week I drove through Montana, and North Dakota. Was I shot by Carson Wentz? No. Can you buy booze at the grocery store in ND? No. Fuck me, it is quasi Utah in that damn place. No beer in a gas station in Grand Forks. I do not know if it was county by county but that is Utah type shit. 6 Years ago we came through Fargo and I made a post about Proof distillery and their pain in the ass that they could only serve what they made due to bullshit laws. So no beers, just brutal for business owners as I do recollect the proprietor complaining about the puritanical law.

On my search for Otto man I figured he may be in Bismarck. He is not. What is there is Fireflour pizza which is next door to a brewery and their pizzas are out of this world. Also en route is one of the most underrated National Parks that you folk have on offer. Roosevelt National Park is superb. The canyons and lack of dumbass tourist are amazing. So now there are only 2 reasons to head to Central North Dakota!

Years ago Balls observed that we Canadians drive long distances, and he isn’t wrong.Total hours of Litre driving on this trip? 21 from Calgary to West Hawk Lake, Manitoba through the States. 4 hrs back and forth to Winnipeg for Ukrainian kolbassa, the 16 hours home. Total? 41 hours. Too much.

So now you can start planning for November, any questions will be answered by the gang below. If you do plan on coming, let us know as we will be making convention badges with lanyards with our pseudonyms on them. So real!!!
