there is a circle of individuals that i am affiliated with (by association only, trust me) that have begun a happy hour league. yes, it is pretty much what it sounds like, and i have to say i was a bit skeptical at first...i mean, come on, havent we all moved on from our mid-20s when we spent every friday night (and some thursdays) in the local bar drinking ourselves into sociable people? (ok, yeah i know, im not one to talk since i just found my drink of choice not 4 years ago, but cut me some slack, i was "socially challenged".) actually, i think the answer to my original question is, no. apparently, there is a younger crowd that i am (again) loosely affiliated with now (of course some are more loose than others..., but i digress).
the basic premise of the league is that every friday, for happy hour they hit another bar....the twist is that they pick the bar by the letter of the alphabet....this week they are on the letter "d," and i believe they will be frequenting delaney's which is somewhere downtown. the joke that brenda has repeated to me a number of times now is that if any members go all the way through the alphabet a - z without missing a letter, they get to start over with/at AA. haha. anyway, they are taking it quite seriously...they even have punch cards, which are only valid if you appear during happy hour (no late arrivals!).
apparently, many of the original members have now taken up position within the league. there is the director of field trips, the director of rules and regulations, and a few others that i cant seem to remember in my current sleep-deprived state. not that the titles really matter...apparently people change their titles weekly.
it even looks like a santa monica chapter has started up! im so excited!!!! daniel, this might be right up your alley....anyway, check it out.
this was one of our close encounters while we were backpacking in glacier national park a few months ago-b
