I'm proud Drinkboston exists in our fair city; it has proven to be consistently entertaining, informative, and endearing, with a generous spirit of boozy comraderie. Regarding the last commentator's non-comment, I'd like to take a moment to digress and say I'm glad Drinkboston, like so many are, is "normal" in that it attracts the regular laughable introvert that has nothing really positive or constructive to contribute (and to others' blogs too, as has been demonstrated), but wants attention for being provocative! (And this is one of the nicer things I've heard about this commentator; another one is misogynist.) I might recommend once and for all to Arnold, to think before pressing "send" on all the passive/aggressive, arrogant comments you make on people's blogs - blogs we try and write and enjoy in a good-natured spirit of comraderie. If you yourself work in this spirit, you will likely be better received, if that is what you want. Otherwise go elsewhere, to a blog you are not bothered by. It's that easy.

Ever seen yourself quoted in a book that influenced you to become that quotable person? It’s freaky." If Boston doesn't work out for you in the long term, than Washington, DC awaits. Your comment is the definition of the "DC scan" or "DC read." It's not a bad thing. Just sayin'. Plus, if you are admitting to only getting serious in the cocktail game in 2004, then congratulations on being honest. Most people in this town point to the B-Side in the early years, but in my early (only Periodista drinking) days in 2000, the vast majority of the crowd was still ordering High Lifes and not a Martini or Manhattan. “Hint: I’m on page 318.
