Icrontic New Years 2015
Let's hear some "in"s for ICNY.
It's in the middle of the week so come whenever you want & stay til whenever. I'll be back at ICHQ Sunday night (the 28th) but everyone else will already be there. Champagne at midnight. I have most of the week off. Yup.

INNNNN
In. Flight already booked. See you there.
I have from the 27th through the 1st off. I plan on making it down for a while at some point.
So call it "in"
Ok.
In, flight is booked.
I'm trying to work it, but it's not looking good
In... I call my bed.
Wish I could, no way out there, perhaps in 2016
In, +pups. Arriving 12/28. Hallie calls the middle 2/3 of @CannonFodder's bed.
Posting for posterity. @cola is in for the malort challenge.
What's the Malort Challenge?
It's a bäsk brännvin enema.
I'd guess it involves drinking this:

I got that much, but my Google-Fu turned up nothing else.
Perhaps it is one of each of these drinks:

I hope not.
EDIT: found it, I suppose. I think it is just a shot (or more):
It's basically just drink it and try not to react to it. You basically can't. @primesuspect and I, after years of searching, finally had a shot at Green Dot a couple years ago and it was epic/terrible. We have a fantastic set of pictures from that night as we drank it, but I can't seem to find them :/
I've been challenged to worse things. I'll never wasabi again...
Sure you will. It's just a matter of how much alcohol has to come first.
God, I'm almost disturbed at how true that is.
Nah, just embrace it.
IN, Can't wait only 2 more days of work and its home to Detroit!
What kind of things are going on for ICNY? Just the usual drinking into the night? Any daytime events? I have plans for the night already out in the greater Detroit area, but my day is free...
Thought about finding a last minute flight... no go, $700+, I'm gonna try and make Expo this coming year
Board games & beer sampling, as usual. Any other plans get made on the fly.
FYI, I will now be returning to Detroit on Tuesday. Family stuff changed my plans.
If there are puppies I'm in. See you guys Tuesday most likely.

Last night we did what I call The Two James Challenge: 2 cocktails at Two James Distillery, walk to Mercury Bar down the block for a burger & beer (and/or a booze shake), then back to Two James for a nightcap.
High fives to @UPSLynx, @Obsidian, @AlexDeGruven, @UPSKingpin and @cola for participating in my favorite weekend activity.
The highlight at Two James, for me, was the Dashi Back (pictured at my place above): A shot of hot ramen broth from Johnny Noodle King and a shot of Two James' Johnny Smoking Gun whiskey. The flavors were amazing.
Do you balance?
