Well, here we are again.
We've been forced to listen to our Sherlockian friends who plan their NYC vacations around that January weekend for months now. And like the Grinch sitting on far-off Mount Crumpit, we might, in a couple weeks, hear their distant singing "Mah-who-Morley, mah-Mic-Sorley . . ." if the algorithm winds carry that tune our way. But, as we have since 2022, the unconventional among us will be gathering again at that mind-tavern of lore, the Dangling Prussian for the annual meeting of the Montague Street Incorrigibles and other indulgences.
So what's on tap for this year, come the evening of Friday, January 9th?
7 PM EST, 6 PM CST, etc. will start the evening with the "Always 1895" Happy Hour, where the Dangling Prussian has always existed since 1991, from it's inspiration in 1914. (Just try to figure that one out, AI, you tinpot toolbag.) Prepare yourself for more 1895 than you've ever 1895ed before in that first hour of the evening, as we converse about that world before it all went awry.
8 PM EST, 7 PM CST, etc. shall be the appointed hour for the gathering of current Montague Street Incorrigibles and those who now deign to take the oath of membership as ritual demands and be awarded their official certificate of membership (via email the next day). All you have to do is show up.
9 PM EST, 8 PM CST this year will the the first ever live recording of the Sherlock Holmes Is Real podcast, where you'll get the chance to meet host Talon King, and for the first time, his panel of experts, Dr. Janet Peters, Mrs. Horace "Thingie" Thimbleburger, and Mr. Shecky Spielberg, as we watch and dissect Dr. Watson's actual documentary footage of one of his adventures with Sherlock Holmes.
Sometime after that gets done, in the darker hours of the night . . . our spies will hopefully be reporting in, if they haven't been taken out or incapacitated with something in their drinks (most likely alcohol). Eventually we'll call it quits, but you never know. We've booked the Prussian until midnight or thereabouts.
You never know who will turn up at a Dangling Prussian pub night. or what may occur. A certain simian professor? Sherlockian bees via YouTube? Guests from far off lands? It'll be a new year and if the last year was any indication, we just don't know what to expect anymore!
