Housekeeping Thanks for Coming to Slog Happy!

Posted by on Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 10:17 AM

I had so much fun last night, hanging out with the bunch of you kind Sloggers. Thanks for coming and drinking and eating rabbit tacos and veggie pot pies and candy. (Take 5's are indeed one of the best candy bars ever invented.) Thanks for entering to win Genius VIP passes (congrats, Mike!) and thanks for taking a free book so I didn't have to haul a bunch of them home.

Solo was a wonderful to place to visit—they reserved a comfy big couch in the corner for us and treated us very well, if I do say so myself. (Tasty Shirley Temples too.) And double thanks to them for extending the happy hour so we could enjoy cheap drinks until 8 pm! Yay Solo!

I hope you had as much fun as I did.

Now, December's Slog Happy will be the second anniversary for Slog Happy! Should we do another gift exchange? That was fun. Maybe karaoke? BOTH?! Can we handle both? And where would be a fun place to have it? Discuss!

It was fun. Reading a book by someone from an island nation the size of Washington about the Congo ...

Liked the special glasses for Rainier and the $2 price! Next time maybe I'll try a chicken pot pie ...

I was really surprised by how good the service at Solo was, especially while it was busy in there. They have earned a repeat visit from me. And thanks for introducing me to Take 5, by the way.

As far as next month goes, I say gift exchange, for sure. I loved seeing the weird shit people brought in for that. And I could probably come up with a better gift than last year's beer coaster with "one free beer from Hernandez" scrawled on it.

@2: Congrats on the T-shirt win.
It was great to see you and meet Mrs. H.

The beer-coaster-as-coupon concept is inspired. I'm sure you didn't get any complaints about it from the recipient. I'd hope that no one would grouse about receiving a 'free beer' in a gift exchange.

The College Inn was fun and is very December-appropriate for some sort of festive gift exchange surrounded by dark wood and fireplaces.

@4 - good idea.

@4 I like that idea. Easy to get to by bus, nice homey feeling, plenty of space...and best of all, within stumbling distance of my home.

Me and COMTE will chip in for a shirt to exchange with, ah, nobody in particular.

@7 - only if it's a small.

Then we can demand pix ...

Please move Slog Happy back to Cap Hill, and this time have it at a cat-friendly venue--preferably Mud Bay Granary.
