Ok folks, here's the OH-ficial deal for the 13th:
FOM presents Rum Appreciation Day at the Lono Lounge
Saturday, October 13th
527 Merrow Rd - Tolland, CT 06084
2pm pre-tasting warmup
3.30-6.00 Tasting*
6.00+ food & cocktails
$10/person charge to cover tasting. Limited seats available for tasting.
Food, drinks, music, mayhem to be provided.
We've got some couch space, and you can always bring a tent & "rough it" in the backyard.
For those fo you who want more traditional accomodations, there's a Rodeway Inn in Willington, and Hojo, Comfort Inn, Holiday Inn & Quality Inn, all in Vernon which is just a few minutes away.
PM me to let me know you're comming & I'll save you a spot.
*We'll be having 12 to 15 different rums over the evening. Learn a little history about each one, and what makes them unique. Scottes was gracious enough to offer to teach the class, and donate the rarer rums. Look for subsequent advanced courses in the future!
ps. the amount of each sample is small, so dont worry. By the end of the tasting, you will have had the equivalent of 2 good strong Mai Tais.
And then I'll mix up Spindrifts to make sure everyone gets good & loopy!

Jon, any way you can make it partway? Hampton's an hour in the wrong direction for me.

I'm so sorry I have to miss it! I'll have to drink lots of rum that day anyway to console myself.

We are trying, but not sure Birdgirl and I can make it.
We will be drinking rum for sure (it is Saturday after all) - just not clear if we will be drinking it with all of you (hopefully yes).
I know Scott will have interesting stuff and will put on a good show - his website has a lot of good info.

Yippee Kai Yay! Scottes graciously offered me a ride.. and Im in!
Thats good for me, very good... for up to now, this is how I typically drink rum!
I could use the education/ that is info-toxication!

Just to let you know, Bargoyle and I have given this a lot of thoughts about what to do. I wanted to do a lot more rums, but he cut me down to a reasonable number.
Which means that I have half of Rumology 201, the Advanced Course, already planned.
We'll have to see what we can do for Rumology 201 in late November or early December. Well, unless you folks all think that Rumology 101 sucks... But you won't. I promise you'll have a good and interesting session of info-toxication and/or rumification.

The only thing that will suck about this event will be the moment it ends. Actually, the day after may not be so great either. Come to think of it, the wait for Rumology 201 will not be any fun either. So you see, there's plenty that sux about this event!

ROFL. You're too much, Mayor. That cracked me up. AND its the first time somebody has said one of my parties has sucked BEFORE its even happened!! heh heh.
On a serious note, now you must be punished.
All of the Mayor's samples will be Bacardi Silver.....all 15 of them!
