Christ! I need a drink

Easter Sunday, April 11th, 2004

5:30pm - 11:00pm


Who do I have to heal to get a drink around here?

After the Hunky Jesus contest in Dolores Park
come join us for a Creeping Jesus costumed
pub crawl and heal-a-thon. Brush up on your
miracles (watch me turn beer into water!), dig
up that that cross and show up in your best
Jesus outfit to have a drink. Easter's your big
day, after all -- why not relax and enjoy it?

We'll meet up in Dolores park around 5pm after
the Sisters' Hunky Jesus contest, then drag our
crosses over to the 500 Club (Guerrero at 17th st)
around 5:30pm. We'll wait for any latecomers and
play 'What Would Jesus Drink?' there. If you show
up late, look for the trail of communion wafers
and healed lepers left behind.

Costumes strongly recommended! Some crosses will
be available but please BYOC. Pogo sticks, M&Ms,
frankincense and myrrh optional.

If you're sober when it's over, it'll be a miracle!

No bunnies!

(BTW, I do know someone who is doing this but I won't name names. ;-) )

1. Sacreligious? Perhaps. But it still sounds like fun!
Oh come on, we ALL know who's doing this. *cough*arcane1*cough*

7. Pretty good
:hi:

Like my new library job despite the day-to-day hassles (think I had just interviewed when you were in DC), am content in my relationship, and the cherry blossoms are out.

Of course, watching the news makes my stomach acid boil, but what person with a heart and half a brain isn't in the same place?

9. perhaps I'll see you at the crawl, then
I'll have a familiar face or two with me as well

:hi:

not sure if I'm doing the sisters thing, depends on if I can get up that early!

10. not really sure who does the judging...
nor am I sure I'll be at that part, but come one out! I'll definitely be at the crawl, with a trail of lepers, drunkards, and harlots in tow :evilgrin:

maybe I'll be lucky and be the only Jesus at the crawl :D

At least to me. I just don't know if I can convince my principal.

17. Are you going as JC???
With your "WWJB" sign? Cool! :hi:

It's going to be a l-o-n-g day, I don't know if I'm making the crawl. Besides, you know how much I "drink". :)
