Modern Drunkard Convention 2006

We were all set to get fired up for next week's Cinco de Mayo celebrations today, but that excitement is going to have to be put on hold. We've discovered our favorite new pre-summer drinking event, and the discovery has left us giddier than a cheerleading squad, more breathless than Rush Limbaugh after three flights of stairs and a bucket of KFC.

What is this slice of fried gold with a side of whiskey of which we speak? None other than the Modern Drunkard Convention 2006, which is going down from June 23-25 in Vegas baby, Vegas, thanks to the herculean efforts of Drunkard editor Frank Rich.

You get a hell of a lot for your money when you pay the $49 entry fee...our hands are shaking too much to type more about it, so we'll let the Modern Drunkard site do the heavy lifting:
