I'd already planned on going to Rich O's. I'm off for the first half of the day tomorrow, so that means that my Thursday night is free. So I was going anyway.

Then I got the latest Publicanista! email from Rich O's. I'm sure that it said some other stuff, but nothing, I mean no-o-o-o-thing was even close to the importance of this:

The Rogue distribution rights have transitioned back to North Vernon Beverage Co., the pallet was delivered on Wednesday afternoon, and Dave's two faves are ON TAP now:
Rogue Chocolate Stout and Rogue Smoke
I somehow remembered to put my pants on before rushing to Rich O's.

Once I got there, I took notes.

8:25
I arrive. There are probably people here, but I don't care. I grab my favorite seat at the bar and order a Rogue Chocolate Stout (526).

Yay!

8:30
Oh, dark master, how I've missed your frothy presence.

8:35
That one chick's voice cuts through everything. No wonder her husband always looks so miserable.

8:37
I hope these two fuckers next to me don't babble like that all night. They're ruining my special moment.

8:40
I should have stopped and eaten something on the way here. That failure will undoubtedly cost me later, when it causes me to cut myself off early.

8:50
First there was A, and A consumed me. Then B came along and distracted me from A. B was a very welcome distraction. But now A had lost its power, and I wonder what will become of B. Should I start looking for C?

8:53
For those keeping score at home, these fuckers still haven't shut up.

8:56
I should write about reactionary idiots, but I'm worried about what the reactions would be. I think that's irony or some such.

9:00
The fuckers are talking about high school soccer. Kill me now.

9:02
PotatoGirl is wearing horizontal stripes. What is she thinking?

9:04
WomanRepellant is here. He still owes me for his DaveFest shirt.

9:05
Scratch that. He just paid me.

9:07
Today we had to go to this Famous Dave's place for lunch. Despite the cool name, it's not my favorite place. I had a beer that was new to me:

Spring Heat Spiced Wheat (12)

(draft) Touted as being "like Blue Moon" and I suppose that's not too much of a lie. A decent Belgian wheat, but with lagerish undertones and a touch too much citrus. Kind of a blend of Belgian and American wheats.
9:11
Oh boy. Some guy has decided to squeeze into the stool next to me.

9:15
Another Rogue (546).

9:16
This one girl that works here, I used to call her HatGirl before The HatGirl came into my life. So now this girl needs a new nickname. I think I'll call her KillerBodyGirl. Yeah, that's it. KillerBodyGirl. It has a nice ring to it.

9:25
Speaking of HatGirl, I texted her as soon as I found out that the Rogue was on tap. No response.

9:26
I'm reminded that I'm supposed to be mad, or at least disappointed, with one of my friends. Right now, I don't care.

9:29
The babbling fuckers have finally left, and PestoBoy has moved to the other end of the bar. Yay! Now there's room for hot girls! Bring on the hot girls!

9:31
Seriously, bring on the hot girls.

9:32
I'm thinking that I might have a Rogue Smoke next. I waited a long time for it, too.

9:47
Piss time.

10:04
Been talking to BreakfastDude.

10:15
Trying to talk ElPresidente into buying a DaveFest shirt. He claims to have no money.

10:21
Another Rogue Chocolate Stout, but I only drink half (556).

10:35
ElPresidente wants a shirt, but I think I'm out of his size.

10:37
I sold him the shirt I'd reserved for my friend Eric. Oops.

10:50
DooRagGirl is here. Yay!

11:05
Ordering a Diet Coke.

11:09
Piss time.

11:16
DooRagGirl is leaving. WomanRepellant lived up to his nickname.

11:17
I'm outta here.

I'll pretty much approve anything except SPAM comments, or comments that clearly have no purpose except to piss me off, or comments that are insulting to a previous commenter.

Use anything you want for your name and email address. I think it has to at least look like a valid email address though.
