Weirdly, when I type in "The War Room" on Google Maps, it gives two locations, one of which is right next to Pike Place Market. What is the deal with that?

@10 I'm not sure why that's happening, Greg. Weird. But the War Room you should go to is the one on Pike at Boylston. I'm pretty sure the other one doesn't exist. And if it does, I'm pretty sure no one from the Stranger/Slog will actually be there.

Doesn't the War Room follow the current president around?

I'm going, but only because I got dicked out of tickets to the Genius Awards this year and I figure it'll be harder to deny me to my face. Heh. See you guys soon!

I wish I could be there on this beautiful day, but I am on crutches and painkillers, which would make getting to the roof a very unhappy slog. See, opiates do make for great writing!

@ 1: I feel your pain. I was actually going to write that exactly (except the "in Chicago" part; I'm in The Lou).

Have fun guys. Someone give Poe a kiss for me? Or a punch?

Hey, I'll be there too, representin' the tech dorks. Don't forget your list of website complaints. I can't wait to hear 'em!

Bah! Once again, way too many people waiting and waiting and waiting for the ONE bartender at the ONE open bar. Fuck that noise. Can't host the Happy Slog it you aren't willing to staff for it.

I came, I saw, I bailed.

I was going to go, but my future self travelled back in time and warned me that elenchos said that it was horribly overcrowded. So I went and talked politics with my local PTA president (true story- well this sentence anyhow). Thanks future self!

And I was at the Rendezvous as always, waiting for the rest of you to show up. Lots of bartenders, all speedy, all kind. Some day it'll happen.

It was great. I got drunk, I talked a lot, and then I went and saw Man on Wire. On 9/11. Fuck yeah.

Sorry for winning the VIP tix, Carollani, but I really wanted the Spore prize ...

I remember that when I came around for my second drink (after waiting in a very long line), the bartender said, "If you order a mojito, I'll kill you." I felt bad for the guy so I got a rum and Coke.
