Only the chicks get dosed! But there's always the off chance that some wicked matron might be after my ass...one can only hope. (no sippy cup for me, just in case)ygmir wrote:I will have a sippy cup............I think I got dosed last year.

I have a male friend who was dosed & raped in '05. It happens. Use the damn sippy cup.dragonpilot wrote:Only the chicks get dosed!ygmir wrote:I will have a sippy cup............I think I got dosed last year.

Nice for riding around the playa or doing cartwheels or whatever.Damn, I didn't see they had mermaid ones, should've gotten one of those.

If you get one of these, get it from Ludo's, seriously!AntiM wrote:For quick casual drinks in bars, they really aren't that great. Too big and too hard to rinse the straw assembly. A travel mug would work better. Yes, we have those too. And stainless steel wine goblets and collapsible shot glasses. Sigh. I'm a cup whore.
You know they work well without the straw, too, right? You just have to tip it back to drink like a normal sippy cup.AntiM wrote:We have camelbak bottles for water. While we do have camelbaks packs, I prefer drinking from the bottle... and we use them all year. Mine is by the bad now, covered in BM stickers. Larry has the big one, he carries it on the truck with him all the time. He even has a monster insulated coozie cover for it. However, the plastic retains flavors, so they are water only for us. Getting the metal one might help, but I think it is the straw that is the problem.
You also have to clean the straw and nipple once a week or your drink will taste "swampy". Ick. Sugary drinks are right out.

Camelbak for water, steel bottle for electrolytes, steel travel mug for drinks and a collapsible shot glass which tends to make quite a bit of noise in my backpack.AntiM wrote:We have camelbak bottles for water.

BWA-HA-HA-HA!! Cute glass, but it's the "pearl necklace" that pushes it over the top. Hysterical!C.f.M. wrote:Probably my fave shot glass ever was a camp several years ago at...Alchemy? Transformus? Giving away shots that came with a shot glass...they had trays of them. The shot glasses were empty film canisters taped to some string...loved it. DIY FTW.

But the thing is, I suspect bar camps get tired of the endless 'takers' that have nothing to offer.
A kind word? A joke? A funny comment maybe? How about complimenting something inventive about the camp? ANYTHING!?
Too often it's like people just wander around with their beggar cups out in front of them.
Bar camps are there to have fun too. Let out your inner raconteur and things will be fine.
Also, if you DO carry along your own, you'll have much better luck if you walk into a bar with something in your cup that you are sipping on. Hang out and chat for a few while sipping your own drink. If you like it, simply drain your cup and place it down while you're talking.
I've never had friendly bar denizens fail to offer a refill.
<shrugs>
It's not just the camps that have to participate, ya know...

I doubt anyone in this forum is one of "those" people, but I've seen them. Our bar is a gift to participants - just like other gifting on the playa, there is no expectation of a gift in return, however I do have an expectation of gratitude, and it is my choice whether to give you the gift or not.Lord Of Ruin wrote:But the thing is, I suspect bar camps get tired of the endless 'takers' that have nothing to offer.

I bring a supply of cups for visitors, however, the "rude" factor goes both ways. Its ridiculous to expect a bar to NOT have cups, so for those not familiar with the BYOC practice, I provide. And politely ask that they hold on to it, for their drunken safari.MissNev wrote:We've run a bar out there for many years. We are very friendly, have an amazing selection and skilled bartenders, and we are no barter. We serve everyone (old enough) and offer non alcoholic beverages as well. We supply some cups, but prefer that you bring your own vessel. However, I've seen other bars who are less than hospitable and even rude. I usually barage them with insults about how much better we are than them. So, if anyone is looking for THE BEST place, be sure to find The Livers End.
Enough of me getting down with my bad self.
In my experience as a bartender, the people you describe are very few. I wouldn’t be surprised if they are outnumbered by rude bars. Personally, I consider a taker as a challenge. It’s pertinent, perhaps, that ours is a small, neighborhood bar.But the thing is, I suspect bar camps get tired of the endless 'takers' that have nothing to offer.
