And now a bit more about What the Shit? plans for the Eye of the Social Storm (which would be Beer and Blog, of course):

Welcome to the inaugural What the Shit Dramatic Twitter Reading Series. I started What the Shit 40 years ago in internet time (Monday) as a way for Twitter users to tap into latent performance desires and let the world celebrate the beauty and anguish, the light and dark, the cacophony and symphony of communicating in 140 characters. Let us join together and experience the poetry of Twitter.

Any and all internet documentation of What the Shit is encouraged, and the hashtag #whattheshit has been reserved.

Read more and learn the rules of the What the Shit? Dramatic Twitter Reading Series. I will be there, and am hoping to hear one of my tweets read with such melodrama that would put Wm. Shatner to shame. What a compliment that would be!

Hope to see you, my fellow beer-n-bloggers, at least once on Friday. Shouldn’t be too hard, from the looks of things!

RSVP on Upcoming or Calagator

I will, unfortunately, have to miss the Inaugural What The Shit Dramatic Twitter Reading. However, to compensate, I can tweet the “Money River” story from “God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater”, for someone else to read.
