We've been busy (drinking).
- Gossip Girl did not kill the speakeasy, or Boston didn't get the memo: there is this super secret bar that just opened and it is so secret it has a Facebook page. And its Facebook page has a list of rules cribbed from Chicago's Violet Hour, plus some additional "mystery" and "aristocracy" and Christmas lights. [Facebook]
- Last we heard, Stoddard's is set to open on the 15th. Their Friday Club will not actually exclude women (that was a typo, they swear). They will offer five cask ales. They will shine your shoes. [BeerAdvocate]
- You may never have heard of McDermott, Quilty & Miller, but where and when you drink is up to them. [Boston Magazine]
- "Sometimes I introduce her by saying 'This is Josey Packard. She married me.' Or, if I want a bartender to understand that I am important, I will say 'I am sleeping with Josey Packard.'" [The Owls]
- Evan Harrison, just-now-formerly of the Independent, is crossing the river, to Deep Ellum. [Cocktail
VirginSlut] - Rumor has it that the South End's Coppa is finally fire-inspected and opened as of last night, with Corey Bunnewith behind the bar, making clever use of a cordials license. A negroni without gin? [Coppa, Twitter/mcslimjb]
- Bunnewith's Balao Swizzle and Misty Kalkofen's Dunaway have both made the final round of the 2009 Vinos de Jerez Cocktail Competition. Their sherry-based concoctions (oloroso and fino, respectively) go up against those of notable mixoligists from across the country next Tuesday at Brooklyn's Clover Club. [Secret Sherry Society]
- What with the FDA cracking down on caffeinated booze, you may want to mix your own Sparks. Or not. [Adverbially]
- Or wash some vodka pills down with your coffee. Or absolutely not. [Neatorama]
- Good bartenders know when the customer stops being right. [Jeffrey Morganthaler]
- Does crushed ice dilute your drink more than cubed? [Cooking Issues]
- Here we come a-wassailing. [Design Sponge]

A story about someone named Josey Packard on a blog called "The Owls"? Is it David Lynch Day already?
I think that was last week, actually.
