Paperkeg Meetup Vol. 3 Announcement
When we started Paperkeg a little over 3 years ago, we wanted to keep it simple. Do our best to deliver the highest quality podcast on a weekly basis. That was it. Then you guys started in. Waving the temptation of beer in front of our faces. Promising to spend time with us if we put something together.
Three years later, and here we are. Organizing our THIRD annual Paperkeg Meetup and at this point it’s Paperkeg canon. Not some thing we felt forced to do and then no one shows up. We have had confirmed Canadiens drive down for this thing.
July 19th, 2014 this year. That’s the date to mark on your calendars. Paperkeg and friends of Paperkeg will converge on Philadelphia’s Barcade for another year of merriment. Another year for Slim’s iron stomach to undergo the punishment that only unlimited Long Island Iced Teas can dish out.
We three hosts will be there, you better believe we’ll be there. Hoping we can do another toast, just the three of us, before the festivities get started. The arcade of Barcade will be there. And you. Hopefully you. We need you to come out and say hi. Introduce yourself if we have only met on twitter, or one of your amazing emails to the show. You guys make this thing what it is. We have to do it before Jonesy can’t. You may have heard. Driving back up from the “(urban) swamps of Georgia” he projectile vomited all over his truck dashboard, and then his leg swelled up and frankly no one knows what it is but his Virginian ER doctor said he was “pretty sure it wasn’t Malaria.” His leg is so hideous and swelled that former host Mark Farrington would literally describe his leg as “schwolt.” We have to do it before Dale can’t. Dale is run so ragged nowadays he will probably be sleeping standing up at Barcade. In front of the Golden Axe 2 machine, most like. He’s always had those black as night circles under his eyes, but nowadays they really mean something. Mean he’s so far out of touch with what it means to be physically fit and energetic that he’s liable to make a grave mistake with the real glassware he started bringing downstairs with him. Glassware. Hard liquor. Walls. Tile floor. Wrists. Carotid arteries. Drunkenness. We have to do it before Slim can’t. Slim is mired in a console war of his very own, and pressures might start rising any day now. Guy is a father. A father who drinks caramel vodka and apple cider while sitting at his dining room table thinking about all of the Xbox Ones he doesn’t have. Because too many people in his life tell him no. Where would we be now if someone told the Wright Brothers “no”? Where would we be now if someone told Tom Cruise “no”? Where would we be now if someone told the guy who produced the Spawn movie soundtrack “no”? Exactly.
Enough already. Here is the link to the public event on Facebook . Reply if you’re so inclined. Also, give Paperkeg a ‘like’ even. July 19th, guys. You and us.
It’s going to be a great night.
