happy hour next friday
Want to meet a blogger? Want to be a blogger? Want to know more about what these bloggers do? Or maybe just ask them why they think anyone cares?
Maybe you just wanna have a drink, and shoot a game of pool.
In any case, you should join us for happy hour!
Friday night, October 26 is the day before Guavaween, and we’ve staked out a spot in northern central Tampa to gather.
AT least a half dozen bloggers have promised to show, and I expect several more to jump on the bandwagon soon.
Meet us at Bobalouie’s Grille & Sports Garden - 1913 E. Bearss Av. in Tampa.
For those of you who want to make a night out of it, the 28th Annual Freaker’s Ball is at Skipper’s Smokehouse later that night just down the street.
Leave a comment if you think you might join us.

You should do this again in November so I can join you.

Local blogger Lisa Ciurro will make an appearance if her hectic schedule allows. She requests that no one make direct eye contact with her. She does not hug strangers, but she will shake your hand if you ask nicely. Ms. Ciurro refuses to be photographed standing next to women who are younger, thinner and/or prettier than she is. Before presenting a photograph for Ms. Ciurro to autograph, you should remove the pen cap so that Ms. Ciurro won’t have to exert the effort.
JUST KIDDING!!! Really. I swear. It’s late at night so this sounds funny, but I’m sure I’ll regret it in the morning.
Tommy–Thanks for coordinating this. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone.

I’ll be there. I’m looking forward to meeting some of you bloggers & commentors!
Lisa, that was hilarious!

I’ll be at my show, but I’ll try to make the next one … unless I have another show.
Everyone should come see Gorey Stories! It’s the perfect show to get you in the mood for Halloween! Gorgeous costumes and make-up! It’s creepy, it’s silly and it’s 100% Jobsite!

I don’t consider SyFy Portal to be a blog, but hey, we’re all in the same family, right? =P
I will do my best to be there as well.

Happy hour or “Saw IV”? … Happy hour or “Saw IV”?
See you at Bobalouie’s.

Mariella — Thanks! “Online posting while sleepy” is my newest, and most dangerous, hobby. And thank you for not pointing out that the timestamp on my comment says 10:35 p.m., so it’s really sad that I consider that late at night nowadays.
Michael from SyFy Portal!! I adore your website! (Technically, it’s adoration with a very thin veneer of envy and I want to be you if and when I grow up.) I’m looking forward to meeting you in person…
…and everyone else there as well.
Kate — Regrettin’ that move from Tampa, aren’t ya? Your visit next month will give us another reason to all get together.

Wow… looks like the wife may let me off the leash and attend. She loves Bobalouie’s.I have to be at work at 10, which means I won’t be drinking, but I’m up for a cold drink and some munchies.

OMG! My one lone reader is going to be there! Now I HAVE to be there, too. =P
Look forward to meeting you, too, TampaFilmFan.

Michael,
There are more of us readin SyFyPortal than you know. It rocks. You may know me better from “ISS MacArthur” or “Deep Space Two” but we read you all the time. I cross-post your stuff to my fan club site all the time.
Look forward to meeting you there tonight. And who knows, maybe both of my readers will show up!

Haha, Cool! I’m familiar with Deep Space Two, actually.
I look forward to being there tonight.
