Have your top hats and monacles ready! I believe the usual meet time is 9pm? correct?
By Monday, I of course mean the 24th. And by of course, I mean "I'm sorry that I am occasionally unclear and a dingleberry. Excuse me while I go flagellate myself." Sorry for the confusion, all.

I arrived in town late last night and awaiting me was this smiling face with a blind tasting of four different gins set up: Each gin was numbered and shuffled around so that myself, cW and Olive had no idea which we were trying. What's really cool is that we all described each one similarly and our choices aligned with the each gin. cW can report more, but I wanted to share these photos from what was a very fun and very LATE evening. -I don't know how you two do it. Gin and Aperol. As a side bit of awesomeness, cW unveiled this mixed CD I made for him and Olive the first time we had them over for dinner years ago. -something that has occurred many times since and shall occur many more times, I hope. Cheers cW and Olive. Thanks for a grand evening. Who knew 3am would come that quickly!
I will be in Japan 3/24 - 4/7. See you mid April, and KAMPAI!
I'm going for the 24th. Sorry for being unclear! I'm occasionally a dingus.
I have the same question. Can you put a number on it coffeesp00ns? Would be very helpful. I know you've mentioned the date in a past comment but it escapes me. Thanks!
I replied to refugee and updated the post, but I figured I'd let you know, I meant the 24th. Apologies for the confusion!
Idunno why monday's a thing. I guess the first one and second ones were monday, and I followed suit. Maybe the next one can be sunday.
Monday was originally "a thing" flagamuffin because the hubski admin team met on Monday from 4 or 5 different locations, cities, time zones. The first IRC was held after the admin meet. -- One way to get all those folks in "one" virtual location. Maybe insomniasexx can verify!
Someone give me gin recommendations and what I should be looking for for a great experience.
Plymouth and Hendricks is what I'll be trying. Both are great IMO.
Brokers! Bluecoat is fun. Plymouth is the standard for elegance in the category of English Gins. Hendricks is the model for extreme embellishment -- or perhaps Gin 209 -- though Tanqueray Ten, Rangpur, Sapphire, and Bombay East have all thrown hats into that ring as well. For shockingly wonderful value, these folks have fingered Seagram's Extra Dry. Also, yes: tonight? Or 3/24?
