I'm in too...and do let me know if I need to bring anything. There is a liquor shop right opposite my house and I can usually manage to get stuff on a dry day albeit with a markup. Let me know early enough and I can avoid the markup. The liquor shop opposite my house is a peculiar case of the universe conspiring. There has been one within a stone's throw of every house I've lived in since I moved out from my parent's house. This particular one is even more special as it seems to be the located at the focal point of all tipplers in my area - they have customers even at 9.00 AM on a working day!!! If you want to see a 40+ year old woman down a pint of cheap rum in one swig before noon, this is THE place. Kiran
