Occasional commenter "jax" is a friend of mine who just happens to own a bar. She actually hit on the idea of hosting an APCB gathering at her place, Hans' Bier Haus. Because I am unable to turn down beer specials or resist the urge to disappoint people in person, I agreed.
So here's the deal: Saturday, July 9 (time TBD), come on down to Hans' on Kirby and Quenby for beer and bocce ball. Directions are on the web site. I'll be there, at least, so you can take issue with my movie reviews and unrequited love of the Spice Girls. Others who have commented/been mentioned on APCB may also be present. There's no telling who'll show up to discuss Star Wars/puke on your shoes/brandish machetes. How can you pass it up (if you're in Houston, that is)?
RSVPs aren't necessary, but if you want to give me a heads-up, say so in the comments or at general_buck_vh@yahoo.com.
UPDATE: The shenanigans will begin at 4 PM. "Jax" has offered $1 Lone Star and $2 Shiner Bock, provided we drink heavily and promise to return at least once per annum.
Wish the NY APCB fan club could attend! Great idea, enjoy yourselves, get drunk, watch Spice World.
Dude if I were in Houston I'd be there. Hoist one for MMM is all I ask.

Me and Mrs. Diddie are so there.
In fact, we'll run some reconaissance on the location as soon as this weekend ...
TW, I had no idea you, like, kicked it in my Village. (I should check in here more often.)
Can't say I'm sorry I won't be in the Bayou City in mid-July to join you.
How about if we hold the APCB Gathering II (The Sequel) at a suitable watering hole in Bar Harbor the third week in July.
See you then.

Dude, I am so there. How can I miss the chance to meet the King of Cromulence???
Man... I never thought I'd be wishing I lived in Houston... but here I am...
Prost, APCB-ers!
I think I've been there for a couple of St Arnold's pub crawls. Sounds like fun, I'll try to make it.
I'm sooooo there, just because the fans demand it.
Ladies, here's your chance to meet Pete's hetero life-mate and all-around trusty sidekick! I'm Sancho Panza, Kato, Milhouse Van Houten, and Trigger all rolled into one hunka-hunka burnin' love.
And like Tom Jones, I don't mind if you throw brassieres--the gamier, the better.
Beer, bocce and unfettered sarcasm. What more could a girl want?
Having it on my birthday, are you? Damn, wish I could make it to Houston for that one.
Hoist a brew in my honor. If you remember.
:-)
Would if I could, hombre. Since I will not be present to make a drunken ass of myself, please do so doubly to compensate for my absence.
It looks like Angelo and I will be crawling out of our hole for this one!
Reconnaissance complete. Awaiting assembly of specific targets before executing operation.
Lyn says she'll be there.
I don't know how I can turn that down.
No, really. Refuse beer and bocce ball? Are there words in the English language for that?
