Christmas Party announcement

Last year's Christmas Party was so successful we're doing it again this year.

The Cheddarsphere Blogger Christmas Party will be on Sunday December the 28th from noon until whenever at Papa's Social Club, 7718 W. Burleigh Milwaukee.

You never know who you might meet at the party.

Drinking Right

My tenative plan is to attend Drinking Right tomorrow evening, under the theory that if I'm there they won't talk about me. I'll be signing autographs, as always.

Drinking Right tonight!

And I'm making my semi-annual appearance and everything. Oh yeah, the lovely Doreen from Waukesha will be there, too.

Papa’s Social Club
7718 W. Burliegh
Milwaukee, WI
The fun starts at 7:00.

I'll be handing out autographs and looking for suggestions for my next column (other than "on time and less than 700 words"). Tonight CC Sabathia starts for the Brewers, so what better way to celebrate than by talking with a bunch of bloggers?

Oh yeah, I'll also be looking for suggestions how "right-wing bloviators from Milwaukee and their mimickers from the troubled city's silk-stockinged suburbs" can "intimidate" the Cap Times and Dave Zweifel into having actual standards.

By the way, does Waukesha's Mayor Larry Nelson consider Waukesha a "silk-stocking suburb?" Remember when Delafield got upset at Nelson for calling them pretentious? Will our mayor stick up for us now?

Tuesday night is Drinking Right at Papa's Pub, 77th and Burleigh in Milwaukee. I'm going to try to attend. Really. I'll be the one with the laptop computer batting out a column.

A sadder Cheddarsphere

In every group of people, there is somebody blessed with the ability to look at things from a different angle. All too often, they do not get the appreciation they deserve. - Triticale

Sadly, one of Wisconsin's bloggers, Tom Dee of Triticale, lost his battle with cancer. The gatherings at Drinking Right will be a little emptier without him. The Wigderson family offers our prayers for Tom's family. RIP.

Impromptu Drinking Right Monday

No,Governor Doyle isn't causing us to drink more often. Well, he could be, but that isn't why bloggers will be gathering Monday night at Papa's Pub. Kevin of Lakeshore Laments may being leaving us for the national swampland.

I head back to DC on Tuesday for another round of interviews this week, with the intention of not coming back anytime soon.

After talking it over with other bloggers I know, I wanted the chance to say goodbye to them and some of my readers. So, this Monday at 7 PM we — The BBA and others — will be having a get together at Papa’s Pub and Social Club in Milwaukee.

Address is 7712 W. Burleigh St., Take the Capital Dr. Exit to get there.

The plan is a chance to say hello and goodbye, celebrate the joint birthdays of myself and Brian Fraley, and get as piss drunk as one can get on a week night.

Hope to see you there.

Of course, the lovely Doreen from Waukesha wants to know if Jay Weber from WISN will be there.
