Party with Slashdot Tonight!
So if you're in the Bay Area tonight, you definitely need to show up
tonight at the Park Side Hall (across the street from the conference
hall) at 7:30 (until 10) for the Slashdot/Freshmeat/Andover shindig.
Free beer, and loud music (from San "Single White Female" Mehat),
good times shall be had or your money back! You're all invited.
It ought to be a rip roarin' good time. At least, after Guinness #3
;)
For a variety of (legitimate) reasons, I got to work quite late today and cannot, in good conscience, attend the shindig, since I'd have to leave too early. (I had hoped to buttonhole one of the Slashdot guys.)
My fondest greetings to all who attend.

Well, you really have to have the Eurpean version to truly appreciate it. To be shipped to America it has to have many extra preservatives added and a reduced amount of alchol.
Why do Americans only drink thier beer cold?
So they can tell it from piss.
(btw I am an American, in America (USA to be exact) just cause I live here doesn't mean I have to like it)
... and in the wheeler-dealer spirit of Salt Lake City and the Olympics, what do we need to do to get it moved to Tallahassee, FL? We're a Paaarty town and we really want the party here...
Now, what do we have to get a commitment today?

American beer tends to be around 3% alcohol, while European beers tend to be around 5% or 6% alcohol. I'm not sure about the alcohol content of Guiness in particular though.

The party will suffer due to the Slashdot effect! Imagine a million geeks crammed into a small area.
Irish drink Budweiser (the American kind?)
I would understand them drinking the czek kind (czek has bottled a beer called budweiser (spell differently though don't rememebr spelling) for longer than the american budweiser has existed, we stole the name for some reason)).
>American beer tends to be around 3% alcohol
:-(
That can't be right, can it? I thought I remembered that "near-beer" that we used to be able to buy if we were 18 was 2 1/2%. Seems like I remember that beer and wine were ~6% and spirits were at least 10%
There's gotta be somewhere on the web to look, but I'm too lazy, and there isn't any beer in my fridge at the moment.
Shindig? You guys aren't even going to be bold enough to declare it a full-fledged hootenanny?! C'mon, have confidence!!
