Looking up The Black Rose of Milwaukee
on Yelp reveals it was a poorly rated, "very loud" establishment with terrible food--perfect for Patrick.
Special Boy always sets up shop at the bar, and expects NOT TO BE BOTHERED by the peasantry as he crafts. Piggy's bar spread includes: laptop (with touchpad), mouse, giant beer, pig slop, nasty hat sweaty-side-down, and whichever one of his shitty books he's converting into a screenplay that month.
If you've ever wondered how long it takes to get Pat smell out of something:
-----------------------------------
I'm working on two huge posts at the same time. They both involve Patrick, of course, but one is largely about "Author Pat", and the other mainly about the SFWA. I'll probably spoiler tag them when I post them; they're both extremely long and probably not of great interest to most readers of this thread, though I think a significant segment will find them highly interesting.
After I finish those, I'm going to start working on a mega-directory for the thread. I have a bit of a head start after compiling links to the most important posts of the first 650 pages to help Porsalin with his doc. I would have done this sooner but I got buried in RL matters, and some of them are ongoing.
I haven't Annabelle'd the thread!
