*Symposium originally referred to a drinking party taking the form of a series of speeches, both satirical and serious dating back to Plato in 385 B.C. The Greek verb sympotein means “to drink together” and we will be doing that as well as shaking drinks! Please bring your favorite cocktail shaker, vintage bar ware items and swizzle sticks for display and discussion.

What a Great Blog you have here. I just stumbled accross it on Google. I’m going to add a link on my Blog Shaken & Stirred to your site. Maybe do the same for me. I was on the panel of the Symposium this and will be on next years panel at Tales. Drop me an email and will be sure you get more info.
Thanks…Jimbo
