GRILLBooze. Hot Dogs. Dancing. Hot Sauce.

Performance Jokes, Insane Drinks... and whatever else happens

for.
The Savage Saturday Night Bar & Grill
falls under classic SROBYOW Rulz. "What the hell are SROBYOW rules?" Glad you asked...
1. The Name: Standing Room Only, Bring
Your Own Whatever
2. Standing Room Only means there should
be LOTS of people. So if you know someone who isn't doing something
that night, and you trust them to (a) not kill anyone and (b)
get only themselves arrested or deported, then bring them along.
3. Bring Your Own Whatever means you
should, if you can, bring something to share. Chips. ALCOHOL.
Little weenies in sauce. ALCOHOL. Oreos. ALCOHOL. Fried chihuahuas.
ALCOHOL. Your date. ALCOHOL. Explosives. Or even... oh, yeah
- ALCOHOL. Please note - if you don't want to share your date,
best bring a bag o' chips, yeah? Please note that everyone is
welcome, and we will have stuff on hand. Contributions are just,
you know, nice. We do work in the games industry, after all...
4. The room is a No Vomit Zone. If ya
gotta exhume the contents of your own carcass, please try and
return it to Mother Earth (read: puke outside, doofus, or at
least in the toilet).
5. You may not lick anyone unless (a)
you already have an established licking arrangement, (b) you
gain the express permission of the lickee, or (c) they are currently
covered in whipped cream and chocolate sauce.5a - Addendum to the Always-Controversial
Rule 5: It is likely that you will be licked by Charles Strickland
if it would at all amuse him and he manages to wend his lame
ass to the convention. You have been warned. Be prepared with
proper deterrent, such as lemon juice, pepper spray, or an ice
pick. Additionally, Andy Hopp is more or less exempt from Rule
5 (and that goes both ways; if you really want to lick him.)
(Ed. Note: Andy really enjoys licking).
6. If you set anything on fire and then
stick it in your mouth (or other orifice), best do it outside.
Thank you for your support.
7. Anyone caught not having a good time
will be summarily executed. Or amused. Something like that...
8. If we actually manage to set someone's
room or clothes or hair on fire, you will be required to help
put out said fire. And help us lie to the Authorities. And post
bail for those too slow or too drunk to get away in time.
9. No greasing, maiming, igniting, dousing,
inebriating, stapling, eating, or otherwise annoying the hotel
staff.
10. The All-Important, Oft-Repeated,
Always-Amusing Rule Number 10 - If you Drive, don't Drink. If
you Drink, don't stop. Accidents cause children. Tempus Fugit.
I snort the Lucifer. Banana. Banana.Speaking of children, bad idea. For the
party, I mean. Fine for carrying on the family name and seeing
to your care in your old age. Just not at the party, OK? I will
be a Dirty, Dirty Old Man.My name is Sean Patrick Fannon, and you
have been warned.Oh, and this thing kicks off whenever
the hell Andy says it should and goes until people stop being
conscious in my room.
Time: Saturday at 8:30pm
Place: Sean Fannon's room
Adults only

Join Artist
Guest of Honor Larry Elmore and fellow artists and fans for champagne,
snacks, and conversation. Tour the Artitorium, quaff the bubbly (or the
sparkling grape juice, if you prefer), adopt a European accent, and pretend
to know more about artsy-fartsy stuff than you actually do. Black turtlenecks
and berets are optional.
This event is open to everyone, especially
artists, fans, art directors, art buyers, and other floofy sorts.
Time: Thursday at 8:00-10:00pm
Place: Meet at 8:00 in the Artitorium for a tour, then move to the Con Suite
Please contact Andy if you are interested in sponsoring this event or donating food, drinks,
decorations, or funds in exchange for promotional consideration or lovin'.
This is the opposite
of the classy-assy Artiste's Soiré. Instead of champagne and polite
conversation, this party's all about sketchin' and wretchin' on your own
BYOB suds. How well can a booze-addled Meg Lyman draw a twelve-headed
flaming whale from Neptune, eating cheese doodles, juggling lobsters,
and whistling "White and Nerdy"? Can Tony Steele paint
nude portraits of Larry Elmore with his own vomit? What horrors and wonders
await our intrepid explorers? Who knows. All I know is: this wasn't my
idea and I accept no responsibility for any damages, hurt feelings, or
offspring that may result.
Children and law enforcement are definitely
not invited.
Time: Thursday at 10:00pm (after the Artiste's
Soiré)
Place: The Con Suite
Please contact Andy if you are interested in sponsoring this event or donating food, drinks,
decorations, or funds in exchange for promotional consideration or lovin'.
This isn't really a party, but it is in the Con Suite where most of the parties take place. The memory wall is a special panel set up to honor our friends who couldn't make it to Con on the Cob this year. Whether it's financial strain, furniture sales, distance, time, or tragedy that prevents our friends from being with us, the Memory Wall, done up in the style of that wall on Battlestar Galactica where they put all the photos of the people who died in the war with the Cylons, is the place to be for images and effigies of our friends and fellow geeks who just couldn't make it this year.
Please bring photos of absent friends to Heather at the registration desk or Jessie in the Con Suite for inclusion on the Memory Wall.
Email Andy if you want to host your own room party.
