[OOC][PLOT] Planning for Arc 1 - Arrivals

[robkelk]

I was thinking of asking "What's a Callahans?" but I waited for some other sucker to do it first.  Looks like I've got another book to read.

It is very much a modern classic. The first book starts off with Spider Robinson's very first story - at least, the very first that he sold - and goes on from there.

(The poor guy was working as a nightwatchman - guarding a hole in the ground so nobody would steal it - and decided anything was better than that. So he tried writing. "Write what you know"; he knew going to a bar and getting drunk. So that's what he wrote. He sold the story to Analog. Then he sold another one, where the science was sociology. Then he sold another, and another, and eventually he became a popular author.)

Amazon has hardcopy and ebook formats for sale.

I'm not sure exactly how my group would interact with the place -- I don't drink alcohol so I doubt my SI would wander in, and most of my tenants wouldn't either.  Kaorin might, but she's just a skosh too young.  Probably all of the people from Aria drink wine, even Alice, but a pub is not exactly their scene.  Maybe via Sonomi -- not because she especially likes drinking -- but because she will have done a lot of it due to being a business executive.

I could see Sonomi visiting Callahan's, especially if she was beating herself up for falling in love with her late sister's husband and needed to talk about it with somebody.

And Mike will have wine in stock, even if he needs to get it from the back room. Funny how he always seems to have something close to what a patron orders, even if he has to get it out of a corner in the back room.
