Heck, even SB, Bailo, Raindrop, you_gotta_be_kidding_me, et al are invited - so long as they play nice. After all, it's not like we know what they look like in real-life, so they can just "borrow" somebody else's handle for the evening, if they're so inclined.
Well, everyone except Bailo - we already know what he looks like...
Tags are a good idea! I so look forward to seeing everyone! I've invited the more prickly commenters (commentors?) before, and I'll pop back into the McDonalds thread and ask SB again to join us.
@15: Wow. You have never been to a Slog Happy, that's obvious. Fnarf and I both have been called a lot of things, but introvert is not one of them. Come, and I'll buy you a drink. :)
We're not getting started until 7:00 p.m., so many of us won't even be completely shit-faced by 9:00 - come on over!
@15:
In meat-space, most of the folks who show up for SLOG Happy are livelier than a pack of puppies in a petting zoo.
@21:
No Che shirts, but I WILL sell you one of the Canterbury's massively huge chairs for $50 - you just need to tell the bartender we said it was totally okay for you to take it home.
@18 Does that mean I can be David Sucher? I have some great ideas on how to incorporate moats into the urban village concept. I would love to share.
I'll be part of the late crowd too. Last day at my soon-to-be-former job, so I may be 1 1/2 - 2 sheets to the wind (going out with coworkers beforehand), but I promise to keep an appropriate amount of clothing on. See you there!
you really are ignint 'n shit, mr. kinney. i do not own an iphone, or an ephone or an aphone. and i am the farthest thing from an introvert you will ever meet. WHICH YOU WON'T, because you are too chickenshit to show up.
Y'all realize they're closing because its one of the dirtiest bars in cap hill with service sitter than the sobs at mashiko, right? They don't deserve your business.
I've never had an issue with service at the Canterbury and I've been going there fairly regularly since 1985. The food is average, but not terrible; exactly what one would expect from a somewhat divey bar with pseudo-medieval themed decor. Maybe it's just your stunning personality, who knows?
And that's not the reason they're "closing" (which, technically, they're not - they're changing ownership and are being added to the growing Meinert-Lajeunesse empire); Capitol Hill Housing, which recently purchased the building, decided not to renew their lease, which is not even close to the reason you stated. Do try to keep up with the news, um'kay?
Compare the voices.

Only if the "Fnarf Celebratory Bed Pan" makes a return appearance. It's really not SLOG Gift Exchange without somebody getting it!
Stop, please. You're begging to sound like The Incredible Sulk.
So if anyone is still hanging abouts around 9, maybe you will see me.
Sounds like a party.
Great!
I am going with the name tag "FNARF".
sean@15: we have a pretty good time. really.
also yes, we will be sure to put together a holiday gift exchange!
go join the "friends of slog" facebook page to be part of the planning and such :)
I'll be Lord Basil.

@31:
I'm sure we can make that happen, but from the sound of things don't assume anyone in the group photo is really who their name tag says they are.
@32:
First we get accused of being wallflowers, then we get shit for being assertive - make up your goddamned minds, people!
Very true! The only thing is, if I do this my name tag will simply read "Lee", like a normal person's name.
I don't think it's changed much since then.
