Here’s one of the ways Briar Bash looked:
The weekend was oddly laid back for how full it felt. badfaggot picked me up on Friday moring, interrupting my addled packing and frantic financial arrangements, and we drove off to Jersey City to pick up Tony Shenton, maven of Hot Ash and Goody. And then off we whizzed towards Harrisburg, PA. On the way we connected with pals Glenn and his Sir from SF, thonrnyc and sirpupnyc at a wretched diner, where despite a cheery trainee waitress, we were confronted with dodgy food, including a gyro that I lived to regret. We pushed on to PA, checked into the hotel and headed over to our hosts’s house. Somking commenced along with the renewal of old freindships from last year. After a while I began to feel poorly and had to lie down, eventually catching a ride back to the hotel in hopes of sleeping it off, the revenge of the gyro, I fear.
Much more is to come, but I feel to antsy to reflect on it now…
OMG, how can I join, it looks so impressive!

I’m glad you had a good time – hooray! Perhaps you’ll see me there next year.

Amen there.
A place where big guys can smoke pipes without getting attitude or grief? Where do I sign up? ;X)

Well Briar Bash is the annual party sponsored by International Pipebears( http://www.pipebears.com/ ). Start by looking there. Bad news is, it will be a year until BB ’05. Good news is there are a few other smoking events between now and then that tend to have a pretty big population of big guys.

Oh dear. I feel so left out. The slightest puff of tobacco smoke gives me allergic reactions in the throat and nose … I can’t bear it! If I was anywhere near these strange people I’d be a coughing, hacking, wheezing wreck.
Chacun à son gout.

Ah well, I’m sorry to hear that. When we meet face to face I’ll be careful to abstain!

Did you run into anyone by the name of goody, or perhaps theatrebear? Long haired fellow from Toronto? Friend of mine said he was going…

Yes indeed!

Oh, good. Glad he made it. Goody’s had a rough summer. He deserves to be around someone who appreciates cigars and pipes (like me), but who also smokes them (UNlike me). I hope to hear his stories soon… 🙂
