      If I have any chance of getting back into the mix, it will NOT be a Friday night. (Unless I am useless at work the next day.)

      There might be.

      I think that Sharlene's is the only local bar that still plays heavy metal music.

      For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

      I will not be bringing any satanic food, but would still like to attend.

      Can I ask that those who choose to bring satanic food label it?

      Mrs Whynot will avoid items with meat.

      With the news that Christie's is closing I think it is only appropriate that we support our local patty shop on Festivus.

      AW, I am glad you do not h8 me.

      I am also pleased to report that a suitable pole was located on today's walk, and hereby present it for your viewing pleasure:

      In light of the New Normal economy, the 2011 Brooklynian Festivus Pole is smaller, table top version. As in prior years, it is constructed entirely of recycled and repurposed materials.

      As per tradition, posters will be given a permanent marker to sign the pole, and the pole will be left at the bar as an unwanted gratuity.

      See you then.

      As you can see from this shot, the pole itself is slightly taller than Dude, and the base of the pole is about the width of the span of his ears.

      Is there a mass unveiling or anything else I should know as someone who just came to this site relatively recently? It would be nice to meet you all in person though.

      ... I'll be good and not make a dirty joke here...

      Tate, you can't miss us. We are usually the loudest group, plus the ONLY group with Dude the dog and a silver pole

      Dude might not make it to this one... Due to the DOH crack down on dogs in bars.

      Sharlenes is aware that approximately 15 - 20 people arrive this evening.

      Drink specials end at 7:00.

      Sorry, home alone with sleeping children (wife out having fun) and so couldn't make it.

      [shameless self-promotion]

      Though I must protest. Festivus should've been celebrated at either of the two final performances of the 10-year anniversary of spurn, tomorrow, Dec. 15th or next Thursday the 22nd!

      speaking of self promotion, the chef at Amorina Pizza (on Vanderbilt Avenue) set us up with some yummy complimentary pizzas!

      https://www.facebook.com/AmorinaPizza

      P.S. For those who like statistics: Mrs. Whynot counted 26 people!

      A better turnout than expected....

      Amorina's pizza was superb! Everyone was delighted. I loved the zuccini white pie with pesto. Whynot's brownies were also a huge hit.

      Did Mr Amorina-Pizza join us for Festivus last night? Is that how he set up the complimentary pizzas? Or is he a benevolent lurker who sent them along out of the goodness of his heart in this, the season of goodwill?!

      The pizza man was there... I saw him. I think he was there just to deliver the pizzas. He hung out for a few minutes, and then I think he left.

      I know the folks involved in the local Merchants associations (Vanderbilt, Washington Ave and Franklin), and invited them via Facebook.

      The owner of Amorina pizza heard about the event thru them, and felt it was a good opportunity to promote his business.

      ...it worked on me; they were yummy.
