Sesame Street Turns 21

A fellow I work with belongs to an alumni group that went to a different bar every other week. The catch was that each new bar had to start with the next letter of the alphabet. So they might go to Avalon this week, then in two weeks to Boston Beer Works, then two weeks later to Cambridge Brewing Company, etc.

Anyway, another guy I work with really liked the idea, except on an accelerated pace, i.e. a bar every week. I was talking to him about the 12 drinking days of Christmas, and we came up with a hybrid idea. So every week we'd go to a new bar that is selected based on the letter of the alphabet criteria. From the 12 drinking days we take the concept of the scribe. The scribe's responsibility is to record the attendance of the event, makes notes of notable quotes/comments/actions, and most importantly the scribe gets to pick the next bar in the cycle. Who gets to be scribe? Well, from the 12 drinking days the scribe is the first person to ask, "Who's the scribe?" But since this is such a fledgeling operation, it is more whoever volunteers. If the designated bar is getting boring, or people just want a bit of excitement, a Field Trip can be called, whereupon everyone leaves and heads to the newly designated bar. After having a drink there, the party can return, or not.
