After several days of fretting over Rita and/or sitting on the freeway for 20 hours, I imagine people might be interested in blowing off a little steam. To that end, I propose that those of you in the Houston/SE Texas area (or anyone who feels like dropping by) meet me for APCB Beerfest II, tentatively titled "Blame it on Rita."
Where? Hans' Village Bier and Vino Haus - In the Rice Village on Quenby (also the site of APCB Beerfest I). There's a map on the web site.
When? This Saturday (Oct. 1), at...say...6-ish? This should give me ample time to fill the screw holes on my window frames.
Why? Because we could all use a break after two weeks of Rita-related news. Plus, the temperatures should have "cooled" down to the mid-80s.
How? Get in your cars and drive there. What am I, your mother?
I realize it's short notice, and while I can't promise Chad and I won't commandeer the jukebox for another impromptu Queen marathon, there will be beer aplenty and (hopefully) fun people to regale with that story about how you had pee in a Whataburger cup while parked on I-45.
Want me to plug this on htownblogs.com and my own site, Pete?
The NY chapter of the APCB fan club wishes you all a great time and much Queen.

Sure man, that would be spiffy.
All that driving sounds pretty irresponsible to me. Didn't you hear our president ask us to be better "conservers".
The Bar Harbor chapter will down a few cold ones for you--we may need them--the forecast is for a heat wave in the upper 60s.
Have fun, and try not to dwell on Freddie.
I won't be able to make it on Saturday, but I'd like to propose a toast to Tom DeLay's new indictment.
I'll post as soon as the goldanged HT site comes back up.
Dude, couldn't you save this until October 22? When I'll be there?? Sheesh...
Dude.
Just once you need to have a drinking party while I'm in town. If I can, I'll raise a glass from that metropolis of Shreveport.

I went through the day thinking I couldn't be there, but it turns out we are available. I know this is the RSVP you've been waiting for. Dynamite with a laser beam, indeed.
Once, just once, I would like to be able to go to one of these things. It's not like I have this vast social life which requires meticulous planning 6 months out, but this is the 3rd or so time a "blogger" activity has clashed with day job activity.
(Sigh)
None dare call it conspiracy......
I peed in a Dasani water bottle and did NOT pull over to do so.
It's been at least forty years since I did anything like that (and then it was a 10 oz. Coke bottle, the kind that are collectors' items now).
Mrs. Diddie and I will try to get to make this gathering.
Don't worry Don, we are saving El Tiempo margs and fajitas for you! MMMM everclear!
Right on, it looks like the kids and I will put in a brief appearance.
squid and basshole, i'll see you guys there.
see you pete
sadly, I won't be there. Familial obligations, no money, too much work... the list goes on....
I wish to attend but must negotiate availability. And this time, we'll put paid to those bocce-playing ruffians who kicked sand in our faces.
