I was drinking scotch and milk with a sliver of ice.

December meeting was awesome thanks to our gracious host, the arrival of our real glasses, and the appearance of our newest associate member. Welcome, Lindsay. Hell yeah.


It was festive and I think everyone enjoyed reading through Carver's story more than the Poe story, and it definitely generated more discussion in issues of race, gender, finance, the economy, and added a bit of suspense to our reading. Thanks for the delicious Glenfiddich Scotch from Steve P.


Hope that everyone has a great holiday break, and can't wait til our first meeting of 2010.

The Vote is In- BIG NEWS

Based on your votes, our winning scotch glass is the English Highball (or pick #2). The order has been placed, and the highballs may just be getting etched with our club's name as we speak. Hopefully by next meeting we'll have glasses to clink, so wear your cuff links and practice your classy laugh- we're rolling now.
