Two Reasons Why Booze by Mail is a Good Idea: It's summer and who couldn't use a nice refreshing cocktail after so many laborious hours at the office trying not to get caught surfing the net? Also, Mail. Which is not a Bill. At all.



Yay Beer!

so, i'm posting about the package i sent Lily


This is odd, since i don't know what to say without giving too much away about its contents.....

you got something from Central Market - which if you don't have these is a big grocery store place that has TONS of fresh veggies and stuff, they started in Austin & then dispursed from there.....

Then you got something from the liquor store...you can thank the boy for this part because he did the shopping for me. Its big enough to party with, but small enough not to make you too sick....and it in PLASTIC!!! a very important part of mailing alcohols!

then i took it to the Eagle Post Place to help me pack everything up.....

lily - you're getting a box of packing peanuts and bubble wrap!
treat them nicely cuz they cost me .69 each...or something like that.

so yea...i suck at blogging!

Official Intruduction

Around this time last year a few users at Pamie.com got to talking about our favorite summertime cocktails. The mojito was a big favorite. We started telling stories of our Happy Hour adventures and late night debauchery. What a cool group of people. Man, we wanted to go to the bar together. How awesome would that be? We were hilarious. We were rolling in our cubicals much to the quizzical looks of our officemates.

And then I thought, why can't we? The thousand miles separating us does not prevent me from buying my new buddy in Maine a cocktail because her story about eating mac and cheese from a dog bowl made me laugh so hard I snorted like a pig. Technology makes it a relative dream to saddle up to the byte bar of the internet and ask Mr. Bartender to please give my friend a White Russian, she's so cute and I wonder if she'll give me her phone number later tonight.

An idea was born. A pole was taken and several days later a letter, very similar to the one posted below, was sent out.

Hi there

You are receiving this correspondence because 1) You said you wanted to get booze in the mail as part of the Pamie.com Love Your Peers by Plying Them with Alcohol Outreach Program, 2) You sent me both your email AND your shipping address, and 3) you have more class than Paris Hilton. Following is a list of participants in the Pamie.com Love Your Peers by Plying Them with Alcohol Outreach Program and their corresponding addresses. Unless someone has a reasonable objection, this list will serve as "the order" in which packages of debauchery are shipped. The rules of participation are simple: The person preceding you on the list (below) will send you a package. Drink and enjoy. Send to the person directly following you on the list the means to imbibe the alcoholic beverage of your choice. Since we here at the Pamie.com Love Your Peers by Plying Them with Alcohol Outreach Program do not condone drinking alone unless your heart has just been broken or no one else is around, please provide the recipient a quantity of alcohol great enough that he/she may invite a friend over. The friend will be useful later during The Night of Enjoyment, as the designated friend can take scandalous photos of the alcohol recipient. The Pamie.com Love Your Peers by Plying Them with Alcohol Outreach Program has also created a blog to share your stories of enjoyment. You have all been granted the ability to post to this blog. Detailing your night's debauchery is mandatory. Thanks

We posted entries about our cocktail preferences, our companion preferences and who had a cocktail on the way. We dropped hints about package contents. This year we're including the inclusion of drinking guidelines (think, this martini must be consumed in a tuxedo and the sipper must hold, if not smoke, a cigar). Picture posting for verification is a must.

Cheers.

What's 5,000 miles between friends when we can buy each other drinks and write about it later?
