Auld lang syne there was a Minneapolis Puff ‘n’ Sip…

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

Minneapolis Puff ‘n’ Sip has been resurrected, and you’re invited. Come drink to “days of long ago,” and then drink anew to days ahead.

Thursday, December 28th:

4:30 PM – The Local 
6:30 PM –  Brit’s Pub

More local news @ Minneapolis Puff ‘n’ Sip!

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?

(hint: the answer is no)
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup!
And surely I’ll buy mine!
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

(hint 2: Auld lang syne defined)

Seriously… Why no one is posting them? I know there is a WHOLE BUNCH out there…

Come on — post it! It’s just internet. No one will know!

 Lotsa love,

Puff’n'sip — reflecting on growth and natural cycles…

Monday, December 11th, 2006

Reflecting back on the last week’s Puff’n'sip, I would like to express many thanks to all who came and made it a great party, and hand an especially big one to Matt — awesome work! Thanks for hooking us up. Loved it!

On growth — our Intern is officially promoted to Senior Intern. Thanks, JC, for all the hard work.

Further on cycles: It takes the Moon a whole month to orbit the Earth, and whah-boom! — Here she is, back again. In all of her luminous glory. Picture that…

While you do, here are details on this week’s Puff’n'sip, December 13, 2006:

See you all there!
Lotsa love,
Big Red.

Puff’n'sip — slow awakening…

Monday, December 11th, 2006

I hear ramblings coming from our frozen comrades in Minn… People are getting restless! I prophesy Minnie-a-polis Chapter revival — winter resurgence.

Quote:

Wonderful. I am counting on a strong resurgence and look forward to best efforts from all of you here in MN!

I can hear it coming…. Oh, yeah!
