First things first, the trope referenced in yesterday's post ('...by x, i mean y,' where 'y' is intentionally humorous, sarcastic or ironic) is clearly a form of distinctio or dystinctio as the very clever Scott offered. However, in this form, 'x' and 'y' have vastly different meanings. So I feel comfortable referring to it as faux distinctio. I understand that since many suggestions were offered, this may cause some controversy, and by controversy I mean people will remember it about as well as they remember Harriet Miers. Moving on.
Okay, so I realize that the bruises haven't yet dissolved from yellow to brown, the rashes haven't quite faded from plain view, and the paternity tests are still INCONCLUSIVE, but the city for TequilaConPacNW07 has been decided, and if you spent your lunches from 2001-2004 drinking Steel Reserve on a park bench, you probably realize that the photo above is a hint.
Drum roll...
The host for TequilaConPACNW07 is - PORTLAND, OREGON! Yay, Stumptown! I believe Portland will uphold the values and principles of TequilaCon, just as Chicago and NYC have done, but with 15% more groping.
TequilaConPACNW07 will take place the weekend of February 17 (February 19 is a Federal holiday), which gives me and Asia plenty of time to scope out the two remaining bars where we have yet to be arrested.
So mark your calendars, emigos...
