As is my tradition, I’ve copied this post directly from the person who is hosting the happy hour, in this case, Jon:
Um, Blogger Happy Hour?
Okie, dokie, happy hour time.
A couple of us were together on Wednesday this week and the notion of doing a happy hour before the year is out came up, and I Jon somehow got fingered to “host” it (ie ACW I pointed at me Jon and said “You do it!”). I’ve Jon’s got a couple of preliminary “definitely in”s, but I’m Jon’s expecting this to be a pretty low key affair, with people busy for the holidays and plus it being last minute.
Please come out if you’re game. Invite friends. I Jon sent out an email, but the email addresses I have Jon had on hand is was a somewhat random assortment. Just drop me Jon a line if you’re interested.

You do it so subtly, I never understand why you feel the need to admit that all you did was copy it verbatim… it’s like you wrote it yourself, you know?
Yay booze!
Are you still too cool for blogging in off-work time, or are you going to be around? I’m doing Refugee Weekend if you are.
Well, it looks like this will be the only time I’ll be able to wish you a Merry Christmas and all that, so… uh… Merry Christmas! Here is your gift! I know, I know. I am a cheap bastard. But it’s the thought that counts, right?
Oh, yeah, Merry Christmas to you, too, Mokie!
dude, you gonna bring your magic balls?
