Sounds very fucking cool. Three wise men, never again, Jim Bean ,Jack Daniels & Johnny. Ive Hijacked a thread, make my own soon.

Give me more updates Chuck(e)d & shiv......

Yeah, 3 Wisemen is tegnible!

I would LOVE to come visit Wiscy, but my budget is GAR these days.

Not really. Portland is the better option.

Sorry, no blonde co-eds here, and I've been told that many women born and raised here are afflicted with the dreaded "Portland ass." Luckily, I was not born here! (ba dump bump)

I rest my case. A few microbrews better than ours doesn't make up for a state full of square-butt lesbian loggers. It's probaby the persuit of better Beer Goggles that led the brewing drive out there.

We can make this happen. I'll put us up there in terms of drinking companions if you got thick skin and a tough liver.

And jesus ChuckD! This is some living. With apologies to the Scot, Dr Konstantin, that first post in this thread may be the best this board has ever seen, and would certainly take the title hands down if accompanied by the coresponding pics.

okay, now i wish I was there.

I have no idea what this means, but color me intrigued...

I was too busy with my shitty credit union to post/monger much during the day. The night went rather well though we didn't see many bands. I have the best photo to post when I get back to Boston though.

Rewading through thid thread, it's cemented the fact that I just wrapped up one of the best week s of my existence.
I seriously don't understand:
(A) how I survived.
(B) how the city is still standing after the havoc that I, COlin, FT, SHiv, jagged, Tania et. al wrought this week. Seriously, you all hyaven't even seen the DAY 4 recap yet, and I wasn't around for DAY 5, so God knows if Colin is still even alive. Seriously. I'm concerned for his well-being and llife functions at this point.
(C) how there will be any womins in that town by the time I get there for good who haven't received the "Chuck(e)d stamp of approval." Dude's layin' pipe like a plumber.
(D)how none of us ended up incarcerated.
(E) how the city be stay standing next year if Dri, me, Colin, Tania and whoever else invade. Call out the National Muf'Fuh Guard.

Also, this is as good a place as any to share a few facts about our intrepid (ie, DRUNK) Casanova/documentarian.

1. Starts talking with a deep southern drawl roughly one sip into his first beer of the evening/day/morning. Every woman in proximity becomes "darlin'" and every sentence preceded by "I tell you whut..." But there's a genuine charm to it all, so much that I'd say it were calculated if... ah, fuck that. He's just acting cute for teh ladies. And it works.

2. Has discovered a well of latent mojo that makes the ANWAR oil reserves look like a wading pool.

3. Starts referring to everyone he knows by their full names by his second drink of the evening. He might not know his own name an hour later, but he'll damn sure know the middle name of the waitress who brought him his last PBR tall boy.

4. Isn't aftaid to joust in good gamesmanship with a companion for the affections of a young lady, and is good enough to demure when the occasion suits (big ups, my man).

5. Is openly one of THE BEST PEOPLE WALKING THE PLANET RIGHT NOW and I'm glad as hell to have been there with him as we tried our damnedest to reduce that city to a pile of rubble. Next year, brother.

6. Is my nigga.

niggas be wildin'

Also, no Stones Throw showcase since it was RSVP only but I did manage to score a +1 to The Ark in NYC at the Bowery Ballroom on Thursday night. Now to see about getting there.

Of all the summations of this week, I'd say this does it best. Brevity really IS the soul of wit.

Know what this is?




It's a Trim Puller.

Trim Puller v. 2.0

Sorry, but I gotta disagree here. Shiv's statement is 100% true, but Colin's recaps give a full documentation of the depth and breadth, atmosphere, color, stank, and all-around moral and social decay of last week. The entire time doing so while OPENLY DRUNK and writing in a manner that makes me, a writer, feel woefully inadequate and amateurish.

If you weren't there, this is as close as you'll get.

My posts are the Cliff Notes of Mongering.

*bump* for continuity

I have to agree that Portland has better beer. Rogue alone wins the title.

Portland does have the most strip clubs per capita in the country and Oregon is full nude.

One day i plan on making it t SXSW but money is always the issue. I would definitely end up in jail or knock my teeth out again.


Chuck - How's the home-brew going?
