Planning a holiday-adjacent drunkthing · 9:17pm Nov 21st, 2017
Morning Sun is visiting for the week! Yay! [1] For the most part, our week is going to be filled with Friendsgiving and/or hanging out, but there's a dead spot in the schedule on Friday and I'm once again being talked into public altered-consciousness performance art! [2][3]
The time-honored go-to, of course, is the participatory sport of Drunkwriting™ — as you can tell from the glorious trainwrecks of previous events. However, I'm kicking around the idea of some variants:
• Something something Thanksgiving themed
• "Write sober, edit drunk": Start with one of my old trainwrecks from the Writeoffs which I'm never going to publish. Everybody get blitzed. MAKE IT BETTER.
• Goddess night: Forgo the idea of writing and just do some dueling Luna channelling. Dispense pony advice and/or Tarot readings and/or just interact with beings who inexplicably love us despite humanity's many faults!
In any case, we'd be starting Friday afternoon or evening (Pacific Dude-Where's-My-Daylight Time) and rolling on for … uhhh 4-6 hours?, if prior events are any indication. I'll post a formal announcement in a day or two once plans are locked down.
If you want to pitch ideas, speak up in comments! (Or come join us in the drunkwriting Discord server!) And if you've never gotten to join in a drunkwriting night live … consider dropping by. It's an experience.

[1] This would be so much more awesome if I wasn't currently getting socked in the face with fatigue and nausea from some weird abdominal medical issue. :( (Based on urinalysis, at least it's not the kidney infection I thought it was. Waiting for bloodwork and ultrasound to suggest wtf is going on.)
[2] Granted, the persuasion wasn't hard.
[3] Sunny is going to complain if I push "drunk" too hard, because that isn't everyone's plan. (I'll note that alcohol isn't the only legal intoxicant in my state.)
Man, Friday sucks for me, for various reasons that's the Big Family Dinner for us this year.

Yeah, we're probably going to lose a whole bunch of folks to holiday celebrations, which does suck. But on the other claw, it'll give those without holiday plans some place to get together with friends.
Why don't I ever get visited by ponepeople...
Actually, I would hate that. It's already bad enough when family comes over.
But I wish y'all happy stuff and whatnot.
Morning Sun? O.o Aren't you quite a ways away?

Well, drunkwriting is just about hanging out together online, so if you want some social time without the in-person obligations feel free to drop in!

Yep, across the country! Sunny visited California for EQLA and is hanging out here for a week before heading home.

What the Not-Changeling said! I like traveling and things worked out for the better!
Also I vote for option 3 I think it was because dueling Princesses is strange and fun
I am curious about multiple of these possibilities (including the original baseline one), though having just read “Might Make Right” I actually don't want to destroy it.
Thanksgiving stuff would depend on what kind, too.
I will probably be there regardless!

That is quite a travel. D:
I am filled with delight
YES LET THE RITUAL BEGIN
I have a preference for how this plays out, but I'm not going to interfere with the Horizon Drinks.

I'm gonna say you dragged me into this. It's not true, and if it's ever disputed, this is your proof.
