"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

if your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it...

I'd like to second Amanda and Angel as people i'd like to clink glasses with. Also, for some reason, and feel free to correct me if i'm wrong (lol), but i have a hunch that coolspringj, booth, rebel and onesuavefolk would be up for passing a bottle or two around too.

I'll be in America in 9 days, but if I am able to afford the flight back over in time for the fest I'd love to come. And I have the knack of being able to hold my alcohol, takes a good bit to get me bladdered

As long as theres no vodka being passed around, cant stand the stuff, anything else I can drink, with maybe the exception of Drambuie & Bailey's

"Ive got good news....that gum you like is going to come back in style!"

"I'm a WHOLE DAMN TOWN!"

Did someone mention the Stop and Pray? Because guess what? I'M SITTING THIRTY FEET FROM IT! :D Someone is getting drunk, nekkid, and prayed with tonight, lemme tell you...

And for the record, everyone from the Gazette that I've already partied with...they're definitely the kind of peeps you'd want around for an allnighter or a pub crawl of sorts. And pretty much everyone who's participated in this thread so far that I haven't already partied with, I would so very much love to go ten rounds of pints with. :D There are so many cool personalities here, it sometimes bums me out that the internet has made it so easy to connect with people so far away and helps me to forget the fact that there are thousands of miles between some of us! Must get working on that transporter technology...

Oh, and to answer your question, hopesfall...um...well the fest itself isn't really centered on drinking...but you can bet your sweet ass that everything before, after, and between events is pretty much drinking (and sometimes consumption of illicit substances if you're lucky). Hell, one year Angel tried to make us some jell-o shots in her hotel room bathtub, and we were up at 2am trying to sip the shit up with straws and spoons before running over to the Stop and Pray to bust up hot trucker sex at the altar...(no, this isn't a joke)
