1st Annual Scotch and Short Stories- November 2010

It is hard to believe that almost a year has passed since our first Scotch and Short Stories meeting in November 2009. By next month, we will have read 11 stories, tried at least 11 different bottles of Scotch, gained 3 new members, and eaten about 100 pounds of snacks. The 1st Annual meeting will be awesome.

Mere & Josh will host, but Mike is back-up hosting. Josh is picking the story, and Steve P. is bringing the Scotch. The date is set for Thursday, November 18th. 7:30 is our new time.

There will be a game. Get ready.

On the White Horse

Geoff picked a story called White Horse by Thom Jones. Everyone liked it.... the interpretations were varied. Is White Horse heroin? Or definitely heroin... Of all the needy living beings in Bombay, why did Ad Magic fixate on the horse? General consensus was that we could all use some of  Powell's Headache Tablets and a roll of hundred dollar bills. Joy got a recommendation for the Scotch from Barmy Wine & Liquor, a blended 15 year called the Dimple Pinch. It is the forth largest blended deluxe Scotch whiskey in the world (since 1893). Pretty delicious... a bit sweeter than some of the others we have tried. Everyone liked it.
