TC Meet Up Friends

Margaritas, Mezcal, and Tequila. I will be blending margs, and pouring shots. Because I care about your health and want you to get plenty of vitamin C, I'll be mixing up various fruit combos as well as traditional margaritas.

Mark the date and take an Uber.

Details:
I'll be supplying the drinks. If you want something other than what I'm pouring, bring it. Otherwise, you're covered. I won't stop you if you want to make a donation though. I guarantee it will go to a good cause (booze).

On the food front, I'll have some homemade salsa and probably gauc, but we'll need more if we're serious about drinking, and drinking is like the only thing I'm serious about. So bring a dish to share.

This is a week before Halloween, so costumes are optional, but if you wear one, you get the premium upgrade on your tequila shot. If that's not motivating, I don't know what is.

Halloween Costume Bar Crawl NE. And it's actually on Halloween! Why stay home and pass out candy when you can go out and pass out yourself?

No theme on this one. I thought about. Almost did serial killers cause what's more scary than that? Then I got thinking, there are a couple people in the group that might just be too into it. So do whatever you want. Be whoever you want to be. It's Halloween.

A costume is not required, but really, what's the point if you're not gonna?

We'll be in NE cause that's where the bars are. The kind of bars that don't look twice at you if look like Freddy Krueger even if it's not Halloween.

Itinerary is subject to change due to my whims, how crowded places are, and how cold the beer is. But it'll be something like this:

Broken Clock cause I get a free beer there.
Jimmys
Shaws
Knight Cap
Mayslacks

I intentionally didn't put times on the stops because I don't like rules. Especially when I'm drinking. That said, we should be approximately 1 hour per stop. More or less, but typically more.

Uber to, or park at, Broken Clock. Or if you're joining late, just meet along the way. Everything is close. It's NE. By law, there's a bar on every corner.

This is sort of a Wine Down Wednesday 3.0 1.0 was at Warehouse Winery. Then they stopped making wine, and started charging more for what they brought in. So 2.0 was to move it to my house. 3.0 is the move from Wednesday to Friday. The last couple went kinda late for a weeknight. Rather than put an end time on it and tell people to go home, which I don't think I've ever done, I moved it to Friday. We can party till dawn!

You might be wondering about the title. Well I had trouble finding an equivalent title that that matches the vibe and the first letter with the day of the week (Wine / Wednesday => F? / Friday). F-ing Friday was what I came up with. I hope you like it. :)

Here are the details.
Where: Gary's house in Robbinsdale
When: 6:30 till whenever
How much: $20
What to bring: you (and $20)
What's provided: Wine and food.
Wine - Various varietals red and white. Answer the sign up poll about your favorites and I will try to accommodate.
Food -I will have some sort of charcuterie and there will also be some veggie type stuff cause some people (who are not named Gary) like rabbit food.

Here's some background and history.
Warehouse Winery has stopped making wine. They are selling off their red inventory while bringing in whites from California. With this came a price increase. Instead of $20 for for 4 short tastes and a glass, they now ask for $20 for red only tasting and $30 for white only. The reds will likely go up to $30 too when they run out of their old wine. Food was 3 or 4 cheese cubes and a couple of grapes.

After discussion at one of the Warehouse meetups, and complaints about cost and quality, I volunteered to do it at my place. More wine. Better wine. More food. Better food. Cause I don't need to make a profit or pay for a Warehouse.

I'm trying to do this in the manner in which we were used to. That means I'll supply the wine and snacks, you just bring money. I'll open several bottles at a time, and we'll keep going until no one wants more. We will not run out. And, who knows, at the end, I might even break out the distilled spirits (just like at Copperwing).
