1 Million Bottles Of Beer On The Wall

Hands Across America, eat your heart out.
Tonight, on the last Friday of the first month of the Pagan new year (this is not true), the hardest working blog in showbiz salutes you, Los Angeles, the object of our collective desire, with a high-hoisted brew, and a coordinated, planet-wide toast.
You are all invited to join in the revelry, and together in nerdiness we will plot our success, literally, on a google map.
The bottle-opening ceremony begins precisely at 6:02 pm (P.S.T.), so synchronize bat watches, and post a comment with:
- Your name (real or fake will do)
- Your town (this is not precision mapping)
- What beer you’ll be drinking (with great respect for the sober set we will also accept near beers, ginger beers and root beers)
Leave the plotting to us. :)
