The article names a David Brown, it's chainlinker Dan Brown. No final call on status but hoping for the best.

I vote for next Friday at Davenport's. But don't wait for votes, Howard. Just decide and tell us where to be and when to be there.
Just a thought, but next Thursday would be the third Thursday of the month which traditionally was Chainlink bar night. Again, just a thought. Whatever night for a "Celebration of Dan Brown" will be great. Davenports sounds like a good plan.
Count me in for any night.
Davenport's is a no-go for Thursdays. Dan did go to Spyner's on Thursdays (tried to get me to meet up but Thursdays rarely work for me.) We could have the whole back of the bar for a snack table if we stake it out early enough (8?). There would be few or no patrons who didn't know him. None of this 5 to 9 PM stuff... Dan would be be best honored by closing the place and feeling like absolute crap on Friday.
Proposal: Spyner's, next Thursday Aug 21 (a week from tomorrow.) On Western near Sunnyside I think (4623 N.)

I just created the event. Let me know if there are any details I should add/edit.

Can we keep it a little more compact-- maybe 8 to 12? It doesn't feel like a gathering to me when you have people trickling in and out over a long window of time. And I probably can't make it there much before 9 myself. Plus not as much importance to start early if you're not having it downtown and trying to catch people before leaving work IMO.

Howard, if you made an event for a friday it would likely help out the early week day risers.
Or i can just say "we're drinking here" again - that worked on monday.
fuck
i am bereft
gut punched
Through sadness I write, glad to see event planning, and I'm loving the mythologizing.
We'll miss you hard Dan.
