Yes, such a thing exists, and I am here "working." This Vancouver thing is the famous New Orleans festival of drinks, back for the second year in its special Canadian edition, with four days of seminars, tasting rooms, parties, and the streets of Vancouver pretty much paved with cocktails.

Last night, I fell down some stairs (they were SLIPPERY, no joke) and met a bunch of lovely people. So far today, I have skipped the 9 a.m. let's-start-drinking session.*

Onward and sideways over on Line Out!

*Actually because I have other work to do, but feel free to scold me for lack of devotion to the cause.
