I'll arrive sometime after 7, wearing my Dingle shirt.

And since I just finished my sinus infection antibiotics, it's one bourbon, one scotch and one beer for me!

That was a ton of fun. Thanks, guys.

When's the next one???

i believe someone offered his yard for the next one, at which we will undertake the great bourbon sno-cone experiment.
posted by crush-onastick at 9:37 AM on April 20, 2006

Clearly, I was way too sober last night: not only have I had bourbon sno-cones, but I make bourbon sno-cones all the damn time: we call 'em "whiskey slushies", and they're crazy good. It's an old New Orleans recipe from our friend's great-grandmother consisting of lemonade, orangeade, and a metric fuckton of Jack Daniels. So yummy and so very, very deadly.

But yeah, this summer me and the missus will host a thing, I promise. June-ish, I think.

Indeed. Fun time. Nice to meet you all.

And eamondaly, how on earth could you have not mentioned the sno-cone thing when we were talking about it ALL DAMN NIGHT? I take it this means you have some kind of magical ice crusher?
posted by ruby.aftermath at 5:11 PM on April 20, 2006

yes, i, too, question your failure to "remember" making bourbon sno-cones until just now. clearly, you are a pod person.
posted by crush-onastick at 5:45 PM on April 20, 2006

I was too distracted by monkey button boxes, obviously.

No ice crusher needed, by the way. There's so much liquor in the stuff that it can't quite freeze-- it simply forms a delicious, high-octane slush.
