BOOZE! Where is the closest liquor store to the con? And more importatnly do they sell wine? Unless Pennsylvania has happened to change their booze laws I'm either going to have to smuggle some beer into the state or just drink alot of wine. We all know Kage has a thing for wine, so where does he get it? Oh, and more importantly do they have a good selection of wine? |

Beer is actually not sold in our liquor stores in this state. If you want beer, look for a "beer distributor".
Yeah, I know it's weird. I didn't make the rules, I just live here.

At least it's not sold in the drive through! Ohio's drive through state liquor agencies just boggled the mind. You could get beer both the regular way and at the drivethrough. Talk about mixed messages...

Would you find beer in the mini-marts like 7/11 or the kwik-e-mart?

No. The state-specific term we use here is "beer distributor". They're special stores which carry beer, and chips... and that's about it.
Like I said, I don't make the rules here.

The only encounter I had with your evil Pennsylvanian beer distributers they didn't sell six packs by thmselves. Ya you can get a six pack, but the six packs come in a six pack. 36 beers is a bit too much for me to drink in a hotel room in one night. You can also get six packs from bars, but unless you're willing to pay upwards of $11 for budweiser then bring your own. I don't get it personally. on either side of PA is OH and NY where you can walk into any gas station or 7/11 or grocery and pick up antrhing from 40s to cases. I like Pennsylvainia cause it's a bit cooler than Ohio, but I must say your alcohol laws keep me away.

Many bars have licenses to sell six packs. I do not know which ones in the area do.
Short of asking a Local, I'd suggest asking the concierge at the Westin (and it's customary to slip him a few dollars for the advice!)

it's so weird..
I mean the concept of a liquor store is weird to me to start with since we get beer and "light" alcohol straight from convenience stores and supermarket and some even have wine ,cheap wine mind you , but still!

Live in a commonwealth for a while. You get used to state-run liquor stores where you can't buy booze on Sundays. I miss the honest-to-god liquor stores in Michigan. One on every corner. Almost.
And I don't drink. I just like my options to be open.

The closest liquor store is the State Liquor Store at 959 Liberty Ave. To get there:
1. Go out the Front entrance of the Westin.
2. Turn Left and walk to the Corner. (10th St. and Liberty Ave.)
3. Turn Right and Cross the Street. (You should be on Liberty Ave.)
4. Continue down Liberty avenue about half a block. (It's about 6 or 7 storefronts down)
5. Enter Store. (The store has a red and white sign that says "Wine & Spirits")
They do have wine.
Kage gets most, if not all, of his wine from people who buy it for him. (You'll need to ask him for his preference in wine.)
Finally, the store has an alright selection of wine that will have something for most tastes.

I could pick up a case of Lion's Head Pilsner in NJ for about $14.00.
It's not bad-tasting either for about $0.50 a bottle!
Whoot. I also found a very pleasant-tasting white wine while browsing through the wine shelves of BJ's. I'll have to see if there's still some left.

I've found that Natural Light isn't bad either...
Granted this observation came after 2 rounds of beer pong.

Jesus, I thought Texas was only the state with weird liquor laws. I could type a whole essay about how one county is dry while the one right next to it could be wholly wet while the other country on top of em could only allow certain types of beer and wine with a alcohol limit.
In anycase, any places with someplace to get a cold one well keep me enough. I wont keep beer in the hotel room since I have a underage guy in there with me and I don't want to be held responsible. I might buy a bottle or two of wine for a special night out.

Reminds me of Husdon Hall, a dorm on campus. "Officially" it is a dry dorm. But for everyone who's ever lived there it's known better as the wettest dry dorm on campus.

lol your cute when you say "rar" like that.
And no matter how "dry" a college claims to be theres always gonna be a good majority who will smuggle in beer or get a lil too tipsy before turning 21. I admit I've been drinking since I was 18 but I rarely go overboard. Usually a cold one or two every day or at least every other day perks me up. And since my AC is being counted as a "vacation" you can expect ill be turning it up a notch, though still not too much. If only I can smuggle beer (or any other liquor) here into PA. Yall would go nuts over Mexican drinks.

urk, I had some tequilla last week. Never going to drink it again becasue every enouter I;ve had with tequilla has met with much dismay. if I can scrounge up the extra cash I'm going to bring a bottle of either gin or rum, that is unless Kilians has to be on major sale.

Tequila isn't so bad if you know what to mix in it. Its best when your starting out you go with easy recipes like Tequila Sunrise. When you get more accustomed to the taste, you can try more drinks with a greater punch like Long Island Iced Tea and Bite of the Iguana. You need to be careful on the latter two because they have a lot of alcohol mixed in and even one drink can put you on the edge.

Personally I think it's orange flavowed chalk, I never liked energy drinks because they almost all taste like grit. Though I find it interesting that after a 4pack I feel the need to go running.... into things
Ya that's what the world really needs, a bunch of wired drunks

permalinkYa I'm going to be looking around the con for decent room parties to go too. The ones that I'm really looking for are the ones where I don't have to worry about other guys trying to get cuddly with me after a few drinks.
But who doesn't enjoy a good game of beer or Jackpong.
Oh, and in regards to the poster above. I heart your Canadian Bawlz. Gotta be the Blue bottles though. Red Bawlz fails, and just like with beer. Its always better from a bottle.

And when you get a bunch of 21-25 aged furs looking for a good time mixed in with a whole lot of beer, An ol game of Beer pong is bound to show up. Always fun to have around. Or if your a lil kinky, you can try a game of strip beer pong where the other team not only has to consume the beer but remove an article of clothing as well. Of course, that type of game can only be played in the privacy of the hotel room. I don't think Unclekage would like to see a bunch of half nekkid guys in the ballrooms all tipsy.

I think you missed the part where I said "If".
I was reffering to my days when I used to stay at the dorms at my old university. Compared to my other friends, I wasnt really good and didnt play it a lot except on speical occsuions rathet ehen a regaulr basis. I think we only played strip berr pong once, mostly because we got bored of regualr beer pong and needed some excitement. XP I dont remember too much what went on except I ended up losing and before you know it, I was buck naked in front of everyone. XD oh boy, if my friends who drank little that night were still here, they could tell you the stories...
Anyway I dont know if I can start a beer pong game in my room as my mate and two other roomies are under 21 and all 3 dont like the taste of a cold one... I can think of something though. It doesnt matter to me if you wanna play the kinky version since I'm Bi and wont object to anyone. ;P

Heh, trust me 'm not a pretty person, and even less naked and I'm only good at beer pong at the begining where there's all the cups. Even if somehoe you managed tog et a game going at the westin chances are it wouldn't last long. I was simply stating that of any of the people who ahve been as dedicated to booze in this treat Shot_King is the guy I want to party with the most. Not saying that if anyone else had a room party I wouldn't go but I like funny stories; that's why I adore Kage.

permalinkTo be honest I've never played strip pong, I mean. It must be played without shirts. Thats the law of the land here.
Uncle Kage has drinking party's? That would be a funny site. Wine after all is one of those 'funny drunk' kind of drinks. Not really sure why.
None the less I'm going to be needing to find some drinking party's too go to.

I've been at a party at Kage's where we've drank, and before I went to bed he was in his underwear.

It is illegal in most places to put ferrets in your pants for the purposes of gambling. I'm not sure if you are allowed to do it for other purposes. I'm also not sure if mongeese (
) would qualify as ferrets under those laws. I'm also not quite certain if I want to know what sort of gambling games ferrets play while stuffed unceremoniously into someone's pants. I'm going to stop before I make some base allusion to playing craps in someone's pants...
