Old Timer Drinking Club

Y'all, I'm feeling awful wistful and nostalgic these days.

For a bit, I thought I missed the old days of Austin on Rails but, just between you and me, I just miss y'all. I miss spending an evening at the pub with you folks, dishing that hot goss and planning schemes and dreaming big dreams.

It's no secret what happened - life and kids and work and shifts in priority. I get it. We all get it.

You can't step into the same river twice, said Heraclitus. I say we prove that jerk wrong.

Let's get together and sit and drink and talk and think and scheme and dream - add a comment if you're interested along with dates and times that work for you. This ain't a democracy but we can do our best to accomodate the most we can. This also ain't exclusionary - if you're reading this and don't feel like you were a part of the OG AoR scene but for some reason want to join us, you're heckin invited too. I've got a drink and a smile for all y'all.

Dearest friends, it is cold and gross outside. And it's been so long that I've seen you all that I'm getting cold and gross inside. My coldness and grossness aside, we have reason to celebrate! Our long-lost friend @timtyrrell is coming into town!!!!

@bd is putting together a hack night at Laz 2 on airport next Tuesday 2/25 and so (without warning him lol) I say we crash it, welcome @timtyrrell, and generally have a wonderful night together.

Per usual, I'll get there right after work and stay until I get too tired 🤣

WHOS IN???

I'll prolly swing by around 4 or so to miss traffic, but we'll be there all afternoon/evening so everyone, come by when you can! I'll drop a little note when I settle in somewhere, but it'll prolly be out back at one of the tables since it's looking like a beautiful day 🌞

@mando no worries at all. If I may be so bold, I would love to have y’all come out for one of our social events some time. we have 2 in the month of march because CF is unable to host a talk that month. otherwise we do a social most every month.
