We had a handpump serving "bag-conditioned" Nerdherder pale ale (it is essentially a huge bladder - like a giant version of the bags that cask wine goes into).
I know someone who has successfully smuggled wine cask bladders into various music festivals and outdoor concerts on several occasions by strapping them to her tummy and pretending to be pregnant. Is anyone willing to give it a crack at the test match at the Basin on Friday with a bladder of Nerdherder? 36 pints of beer would be a little trickier than three litres of wine but if a bloke were to strap it on high around the torso, it might pass as a substantial paunch + man boobs. Throw on some loose fitting clothing and it should be sweet.
It was easily the biggest volume seller at our stand, which is funny because although we've been doing it for 18 months I'm always really nervous about what the average drinker will think of "flat beer".
Hmmm... flat beer... (drool)

horse, pig, roflnui
and the sign could say "Shhh Haydn" or just "NSFW"

Reading all the yummy beer talk, it seems a shame you can't get sponsored by one of the local suppliers. Be great word of mouth, by all accounts.

I know, ahem, someone who has taken bladders of wine into various sporting events inside cushion covers.
Sue was asking about taking a couch, so I am sure we could work something out....

Naly D sent me that earlier today. I'm formulating a response.

Everyone stand on one foot! Tuffey just hit three sixes in a row.

Too late.

I guess these things work better when you're following the game live rather than with a minute's delay on cricinfo.

Just to check - what time are people likely to start drinking? And can anyone give me a rough estimate of the probably condition of the spectators by about, say, 9pm at the pub? I'm unlikely to make it prior to that - a profound disinterest in cricket combines with the need to be at work that day, then get the kids fed & to bed - and I'd be keen to avoid a re-run of the last Wellington PAS get-together I attended, where I made a point of introducing myself to several people, including conducting some protracted conversations featuring what I considered at the time to be a high-functioning level of dialogue from all parties, but where it turns out that the people have absolutely no recollection of the event.
Which is to say: please don't get unable to walk by 9pm, I'd like people to remember meeting me this time. ;)

Um... Megan is making me a champagne breakfast... (Seriously, she is! I don't even have to put out! I dunno what planet this is, but I like it.)

Actually, I think we should all go dressed like the School of Athens
Really? I think you know how badly that would all end up.
Or is that your plan?To! Ga! To! Ga! To! Ga! Toga! Toga! TogatogatogatogaTOGATOGATOGATOGATOGAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Really? Can we get in on that?

OK. If you find one of my business cards around your person the next morning, you met me that night.
When in doubt, leave documentary evidence.

Funny you should say that. When I finally got home after the Welly book launch and headed for bed, $25 fell out of my bra.
Seriously, though, looking forward to it, and I will try very hard to be in a proper condition for meeting people. And not to send you to hold a table for us and we'll be right there...

I might hold you to that :-)

Damn you, Elder, now I'm going to have go down to the video store and get Cabert out.

Actually, that was prompted by my dim recollection of one of the objections to the introduction of the Euro to Italy being from strippers. With lire, their clients could apparently tip small and frequently - which worked out for everyone. But with the Euro, the smallest notes were impractically large denominations for casual G-string tuckage, hence strippers found that their daily take-home diminished a surprising amount. The solution, I seem to recall, was supposedly "magnetic underwear" to which Euro coins could adhere - though I have my suspicions that this wouldn't actually work in practice.
-
Scramble to YouTube to see if 'magnetic underwear' brings any hits. Actually, I didn't. See if the rest of you can resist...
Off to start getting psyched for the Pixies.

Did I write Cabert instead of Cabaret? I need a special three-hour edit window.
