Lieutenant Malloy (the guy on the door) said you guys were absolutely top notch. I hope you take some solace in his after-time report that you were "nothing like inmates"
He's actually the head of the emergency response team for maximum security detentions (the swat team for inmate issues). He's off on leave because he had knee surgery. I actually take a bit of solace in his statement "I didn't recognize anyone". I think we are the -under-the-radar- weirdos that seemingly have tons of excess income to spend on coloured sticks.
I'm actually quite proud of you people that he came over here tonight (and wanted to crack into the Somerset bar wine cellar) and ask about the hobby. I think he could be a convert (yet not a convict!).
He did spot copperkills as a likely officer. He said "he carried himself properly". Lol. I asked copperkills if he was packing. He looked at me like I was an idiot. Good lord I wish they had let me onto the force in the 80's instead of saying I was "too short", "too white" and "not handsome enough".
That's my 2 bottles of some sort of red wine, (plus going back for guinness right now) report on the 'fest. Sincere thanks to everyone, you are a very good group of people.
BTW. Since absolutely NOBODY was a jerk at this thing (and I mean that), you are all welcome at the bar, anytime. It's fun, it's silly, and man there's a lot of booze here. Byron, london. Best thing is the proprietor is a Realtor so he can be behind the bar pretty much 24/7
