Party With The GWC Crew!
Do you remember what you were doing on September 20th, 2006? I do. I was fighting with a crappy old laptop trying to put out the first episode of Galactica Watercooler. Now almost a year and a half -- and 144 hours 22 minutes and 25 seconds sitting in front of a mic -- later, we're preparing to complete our 100th podcast.
Then we're going to celebrate by popping down to our favorite local pub, drowning some fish 'n chips with a few pints, making drunken speeches, and generally having a good time.
You are, of course, welcome to join us.
The party starts at 7:30 p.m. CT Saturday, May 17th, 2008 (Tomorrow) at:
The Irish Rover Pub (Google Map)
8250 Gaylord Pkwy
Frisco, TX 75034
(214) 618-6222
Here's the GWC Forum thread as well.
If you can't be there, well, that sucks. If you're in Germany, Australia, England, Hong Kong, or Thailand (yes, you know who you are), we understand. As soon as someone backs up to GWC with a dump-truck full of cash to buy ads to sell all of you DVDs or some other (acceptable to us) cool stuff, we'll schedule a meetup at your place. Really.
Those of you in the great northeast should know that American Airlines has last-minute fares to DFW (their central hub) available -- including airline/hotel packages for around $350. Start here, but you'll have to dig to find 'em. No, you can't crash at our place. But if you come down for the event, I'll personally buy your first drink. If you're Solai or part of the Philly Crue, I'll buy you two. And I fully expect to make it up your way sometime this year.
If you're in the DFW area -- or any other Texas metropolitan area -- head out now. There are three hotels within a stone's throw of the pub, and some cheaper ones just up the tollway. You don't want to miss this. It's gonna be great.
See you there.

Well, I am still looking for a job and I do have a concert on Sunday, but what the frak!
Seriously, I’ll have to be there in spirit. Have a white Russian for me (and one for The Dude too. And for The Dude in all of us!). I promise to do the same.
Ok…what if I bring the entire Philly crüe and coerce frakkintalos, Yorick and Suzanne…
…can I get a third drink? You know my drink…Herradura reposado tequila, neat, no lime, no salt. After three I may be crashing…on the floor, but these are details.
Happy 100th!
BE THERE OR BE BOXED!!!
Ok, that was lame…sorry…
Come on out peeps!
Waaah! Wanna be there, but we have a Chuck-influenced bbq gig here!
We raise the tongs to ya!
love, me! b!
That was a lot of fun!
Was that collerheads BSG an intentional Futurama reference? They all look like cicra 3000 AD heads in a jar.
Hey, the centurion has a…nevermind
The watercooler head image was not consciously inspired by Futurama (which is a series I do enjoy), but I can see why you might think that. My inspiration came from the idea of what would you call people who listen to GWC, well, coolerheads ofcourse. At least in my strange sense of logic it made sense. That thinking lead me to think about people wearing water cooler bottles. From there I meshed the cooler bottles with BSG stars and you can see the results of that.
I would not rule out that some where in the back of my mind was Futurama’s jar heads inspiring me. I just do not recall thinking of them at the time I was making the image.
Gaylord Parkway. Sounds gay.
Heaven On Mars, It looks great!
Please post the podcast! I need my fix man, I’m sick! =D
Hey all,
Thanks for hanging out with us in the Live cast! If was great to hear from all of you! Chuck is still in edit mode but I’m sure he will get it out soon. The after party was great but went on till late and my guess is Sunday was not an early rise and shine for anybody. So hang in there and we’ll have more GWC goodness on the way.
