“No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you.” -Althea Gibson
My birthday’s coming up and I’ve always wanted to try a nip of absinthe. Just mentioning it in case you were wondering. Those people look like they’re having a blast, huh? Barfly, Degas style.

After this tale, I’m not exactly sure about that…

Plan A: I won’t mix it with a case of beer and shots of vodka.
If that’s impossible then on to Plan B: I will stay near a bathroom.

Wouldja believe that there used to be a bar here in NYC that actually used to serve the stuff about ten years ago? I forget the name, but the place was somewhere on the lower west side…
But then again, this is New York City, and I bet that if I looked hard enough I could find a talking badger who knew how to sing “The Immigrant Song” in Khurdish, backwards, while dressed as Batman is ass-less leather chaps.

It’s not illegal anymore. That’s just part of its lingering mystique.

Probably you wouldn’t even have to look that hard to find said badger.

Actually, I know him. His name is Chet.

You should drop Scott an e-mail regarding the absinthe – he’s traveling through parts where real absinthe is legal currently. He’ll be back in early January – rah.
Mike got me a bottle of it then lost it on a drunken pub crawl through Munich before returning. I am pretty sure that I would fucking hate it (i think it has a sambucaesque/licquorishy taste and that’s gross) but I’d still like to try the real deal.

It is currently illegal to buy absinthe containing thujone in the United States (there are a lot of “fake” absinthes that you can buy here)- it’s not illegal to possess it though – so I’d ask Scott to pick you up a bottle from the Czech Republic (he’s probably going there he loves it).

Wait, did you mean you’ll ask or I should ask? I was taking it to mean you’d ask…hence the enthusiastic YAY.

I can ask if you want – I thought you might enjoy a correspondance with Scott. He’s hard to get a hold of (since he’s traveling…). I’ll write to him – I’ll send you his e-mail in an e-mail so you can write him too if you feel like it.
