drinkboston com drinkboston com bars bartenders and imbibing in beantown about archives best bars best bartenders cocktails supplies 411 october 30th 2014 something that happened in los angeles after too much mezcal ok there was a fair amount of wine involved too and in the beginning pisco at the very end there might ve been a hanky panky had there not been photographic evidence of me pinky swearing with three other lapsed bloggers that we would post something on our respective sites by the end of october and at least once a month thereafter so they tell me i would ve merrily boarded a plane back to boston from a little trip to la and thought wasn t that a fun consequence free get together with some west coast friends tra la la la and then facebook and the pinky swear evidence and lots of tagging of those present at the pinky swearing and chiming in of those who were not present but who posted pictures of their own pinkies so that they could join the great cocktail blogger revival of 2014 hello rumdood and liquid muse damn you all especially jake parrott who instigated the whole ceremony with his jab that a drinks blogger is someone who does not write about cocktails on the internet daniel djang a k a thirsty in la does not belong in that category he still blogs all the damn time but he offered his pinky just cause he happened to be there naturally he was first to complete the october assignment next among the remaining trio of truly lapsed bloggers was ron diggity a k a lushangeles still one of the greatest blog handles ever chuck taggart of looka at the gumbo pages has posted twice since the swearing although he apparently has something more up his sleeve to complete the assignment still technically i finish last not only that i win the most lapsed blogger
