I wonder if he'll let us all stay at his house?

A fellow blogger (who shall hereinafter remain nameless) has invited a number of his followers to join him whilst he inspects the various pubs, saloons, taverns and bars operated by his ancestors down through the years

My only other question (beside the one in the title) is this a stag affair or should we book travel for a partner?

I was writing a post in response to another blogger's post about online dating. He even offered to remind me to post it. To make a long story not so long...
...first, my story's so old it involves pay telephones and places that don't even exist any more. In fact there are freeways that have been built and torn down since then
...second, I can't really flesh it out in a truly entertaining manner
... third, I was only involved peripherally, so it wouldn't be totally fair to others
...finally; short version -

Pay phone in barracks rings. Young sailor picks up and is invited to party with unknown young female in SF. Young sailor accepts and agrees to meet at cafe on Market Street. Young sailor walks by cafe, looking into window and decides not to follow up.
side note - said phone call was not an isolated incident, was regular occurrence on Fridays every week
