ThAC

Hi folks-

Just a note to remind you that we are going to blow this popsicle stand early on Thursday and go partake in some Rio madness. I think the goal is to leave here around 3:30, meet at the Rio, and begin celebrating the long weekend. Someone will need to accompany Berri so she is not verbally attacked by any hoodlums or Enrique Iglesias wannabes.

I can't even tell you how a nice frosty marg sounds right now. It's about 600 degrees in this building today. It's that whole running a marathon through the Mojave, seeing mirages, incredible sort of hot in here where only certain kinds of reptiles can be comfortable.
I'm pretty excited. This one should be a good one. Let's do each other a favor and pay attention to the limits (at the Rio itself and our own limits). I am including this little bit of mom-advice mostly for my own benefit, by the way. I can't bail any of you out of jail. I am way too broke. Call a friend. Call a cab. Sleep in my car... I don't care. Just kidding... but seriously, that's an option.

Have a good couple of days. Work late in the sauna today, come in early, use some leave, leave early on Thursday. See you at the Rio!!

FAC absentee

Hey everyone.

I know that I cannot make it to FAC this week. (Hush now, this is the first one I have missed) The other half of the epoxy holding FAC together, Audrey Anna, said she may not be able to make it either. SOOOOO -- all you that want to go to FAC together need to invite each other! I don't know where she is going, but I will be at a birthday party at the Melting Pot! Yeah! Fondue rocks!

Oh, here is a tiny frog:


















***Update: Never made it to the birthday party, my friend lost a fellow EMT is a terrible accident.****

FAC again...

Howdy again --

I wanted to tell you guys in advance about FAC, I mean ThAC next week. Due to the Veteran's Day Holiday, we will be going to the RIO (yes we will try it again and everyone will show up early or sit on the floor and I will NOT get verbally abused waiting for my late coworkers).

So there is you first warning, Rio madness, Thursday the 9th, NO LATER THAN 4:00pm, so work longer days to build up some hours, or come in early, or use some leave people.....

Also, did you notice that I didn't add a link to the Road 34 website. The reason why? It is blocked by WebSense. Must be an EXCELLENT bar.

FAC of the Dead

Howdy all --

Well, it has been quite a couple of weeks. Prime time for a great FAC!
This Friday we will be patronizing ROAD 34, a fairly new bar where Diamonds Billiards/Bar used to be.
I have never been there, but I have heard good things.
Address: 1213 W Elizabeth (south side of the street near Jim's Wings and Sonic)

They have $2 New Belgium pints AFTER 8 pm (lame), but they serve ice cold Sparks (awesome!)

If you don't know what a Sparks is -- it is like the ZIMA of the oughts, a malt beverage with energy drink properties built right in!
It's red bull and Old English mixed together. If that is not alluring I don't know what is.

Oh, happy Day(s) of the Dead:

























Just kidding:
