The Official WyattPalooza Post
By Wyatt Earp | April 14, 2010
Okay, as most of you know, I had to change the date because I am a moron who cannot walk and chew gum at the same time. So, after working out the details with Captain America, the final, set-in-stone particulars of the blog meet are listed in the awesome graphic above. (.)
Here are the confirmed attendees thusfar:
Me
BadIdeaGuy
Bitter
Captain America
Danny the Man
Geek With A .45
Ian Argent
Jeff T
Mike W.
Mrs. Crankipants
Old NFO
Robert B.
RT
Sebastian
The Bitter American
The door is still open if you want to attend, just leave a comment below and I’ll put you on the list. I’ll also put out a reminder as the date approaches. Hope to see you there!
UPDATE: Just so we’re clear, Wyatt/CaptainPalooza is just a late lunch with local bloggers. It’s not a political town hall. The only reason I write that is because the Captain and I have received a lot of e-mails from local politicians and political pundits asking if they could attend. The short answer to that question is no. I’m sure the circle of friends will have a political conversation or two, but this isn’t a Tea Party . . . unless RT starts drinking Twisted Tea.

Wish I could attend but will be there in spirit. Just set an empty chair up and an empty bottle of Guiness for me.

[...] Amazingly, the world did not come to an end the last time the Philadelphia-area bloggers (plus one we convinced to come from Jersey City) gathered for drinks and snacks. And so, we do it again. [...]

I put in a request with Google maps to move the marker to the correct location around the mall. Sometimes Google makes up the weirdest locations. (Granted, it’s not a big deal. If someone just kept driving in the circle around the mall, they would find it.)
On a more serious topic: Woo hoo to fruity adult beverages!

Pretty sure I can make this one. It’s only an hour and a half away.
April 14th, 2010 at 3:58 pm
Wish I could be there… A little too far From SC to Philly.
April 14th, 2010 at 4:08 pm
I’ll do my best to drag the missus there. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Jon – Oh, I don’t waste Guinness!
Bitter – Captain America is probably ordering his as we type.
Mike W. – Sweet.
RogerDee – What, you don’t want to drive from SC? Kidding, kidding!
Robert B. – I can’t speak for anyone else, but don’t get your hopes up. I’m not that exciting.
April 14th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
Pencil me in – likely but not confirmed yet
April 14th, 2010 at 5:16 pm
Ian – Got it.
April 14th, 2010 at 5:48 pm
I would LOVE to hook up with you guys.
April 14th, 2010 at 5:50 pm
Oh, wait… 8 hours drive. One way. I think I’ll have to take a raincheck Wyatt, but I’ll have cheeseburger in your honor.
April 14th, 2010 at 6:29 pm
Woody – I am not worth an 8-hour drive, believe me.
April 14th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
Ian, I’m going to insist that Wyatt write your name down with ink. Peer pressure and all.
April 14th, 2010 at 8:28 pm
Wyatt, yer too modest. I am certain you’re just bubblin’ over with cooths and swaves.
April 14th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
Bitter – D-U-N, done!
Robert B. – Okay, but if you are not entertained, don’t say I didn’t warn you.
April 14th, 2010 at 9:39 pm
I can’t make it. What a bummer!
April 14th, 2010 at 9:51 pm
I would love to – but the saturday before Mother’s Day is a leetle dicey to be making plans on. (Side note, I will be bringing the lovely and talented Mrs. Argent as well)
Besides, I’ve been wanting to try out CBiP anyway (though there’s one MUCH closer to me than Langhorne. Oh well.)
April 14th, 2010 at 11:49 pm
Dod – Sorry to hear that. We’ll raise a pint in your honor.
Ian – The food there is fantastic – at least it was last time – and LandShark Lager is not bad, either.
April 15th, 2010 at 9:08 am
Copy that, Wyatt. Though I am far more likely to get the fruity drink Bitter mentioned than a beer. Either that or some hard cider if they have that.
April 15th, 2010 at 11:26 am
Another liquor soaked gathering.
kewl.
April 15th, 2010 at 4:22 pm
[...] I just checked in with Support Your Local Gunfighter and Wyatt hasn’t changed the dates or locations again. So as of this second our 2010 [...]
April 15th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
Pencil me in!
April 15th, 2010 at 10:12 pm
Ian – The drink menu runs the gamut. You’ll find something you like.
CGB – Should be equally as exciting as the last one.
BIG – Sweet! I’ll put you in as a “Yes” and if something changes, let me know.
April 15th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
Given that I *like* margaritas and daquiris and it’s named after a Jimmy Buffet song, I figured as much
April 15th, 2010 at 11:52 pm
Will be a short stop for me (family’s annual spring jaunt to the Outer Banks commences on Sunday), but I’ll manage to get there somehow, complete with, well…
April 16th, 2010 at 9:28 am
I do believe that I will be able to attend.
What a difference a year makes, eh, when politicians clamor to have lunch with us?
Heh.
April 16th, 2010 at 11:57 am
I was soooo going to try and make it when I first saw the idea and you didn’t have a date yet. Sadly I work every Saturday and am staying in NYC now these days (I’m very homesick for Philly but there’s more money up here) so it wouldn’t be a good idea for me to come. If anything changes Ill let you know but I doubt it, sorry
April 16th, 2010 at 12:10 pm
Ian – I’m not a huge Buffet fan, but I like the restaurant.
Bob – Hope to meet you.
Geek With A .45 – Wouldn’t even have room for a pol now, as we’re up to 16 attendees. Gonna be hard grouping us all together, but we’ll make do.
K – That’s okay. I’m planning on going to Dover in September again and I’ll stop by if you’re there this year. Promise.
April 16th, 2010 at 4:24 pm
Wyatt,
I hope this isn’t just for bloggers only… I’d hate to have to nail one together before the party.
April 16th, 2010 at 4:30 pm
Robert B. – No, not at all. I expect to see you there.
April 16th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
I think it’s funny that politicians are now calling. I think that also speaks for the sad state of affairs in blog outreach by politicos in the Commonwealth.
Regardless, maybe I’ll have their version of a Long Island – the Tropical Island Tea – in celebration. Then it will be a real tea PAR-TAY! (Maybe not, I don’t get that crazy.)
April 16th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
Bitter – Agreed. By the way, we’re close to 20 people now. Almost too big for the patio at CiP, but I’ll still ask.
April 16th, 2010 at 5:35 pm
Definitely ask. We’ll probably have a couple of no-shows at that rate. I don’t remember who it was, but someone who RSVP’d last time didn’t show up. Life will always get in the way.
April 16th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
One of the many reasons I love my wife – when suggesting things to do in that neck of the woods to make a day of it, the options presented (by her) were either New Hope or a range…
(Though the NJ legalities of going to shoot and eat in PA are murky).

can’t wait!!
