i forgot to mention last week. the inaugural meeting of the taraz, kazakhstan chapter of drinking liberally was a smashing success. well at least it wasn't a total disaster in that it happened. okay, attendance was a little low. but i blame that on the complete lack of promotion for the event, other than my mentioning it to mrs. noz just before i left. mrs. noz bowed out. so it was me alone in the hotel bar drinking an overpriced not-very-good bottle of georgian wine.
DL-taraz take two was last night and it was an even bigger success (even though this time i barely mentioned it to mrs. noz) there were four of us having beers at some restaurant (i forgot the name of the restaurant). okay, maybe no one but me knew it was drinking liberally. but still, we all ordered beers with dinner! and it was tuesday! and i'm pretty sure the two americans we had dinner with are liberals! that's a 300% increase in attendance from last week!
at this rate of growth we'll hit 64 attendees in just two weeks!!! that's larger than DL-philly usually gets. suck on that mithras!
