Whiskey News For Breakfast

Those details I promised you on our new whiskey lounge? I'm a man of my word. Here they are:

Like whiskey? Then you’ll love Kansas City Irish Fest’s new Jameson Irish Whiskey Tasting Tent, which will available for guests 21 years and older. Attendees with a valid I.D. will be able to enjoy a sampling of up to six whiskeys in a forty-five minute presentation by a Jameson Ambassador, followed by a 30 minute Q & A. Tickets are $10 in advance online and $15 at the fest. This does require a separate admission ticket to the festival.

Dates and Times

Saturday, September 3rd, 1 p.m.
Saturday, September 3rd, 4 p.m.

Ticket good for your scheduled day/time only in the tent, located on the upper Terrace Level. Must be 21 to enter the tent. ID's will be checked upon entering.

Now, nobody is more excited about this than I am. Truly. I intend on spending all my waking hours up there Irish Fest weekend and probably a few of my sleeping hours as well. And I don't like to complain. But seriously. "The Jameson Whiskey Tasting Tent"? That's it? The most exciting new area at Irish Fest since Portapotties and that's the best name we can come up with? I can imagine that meeting...

"Okay, it's approved. What should we call it?"

"Well, it's a tent...so we should call it some kind of tent, I guess. So people know it's a tent."

"Oh, and you'll be able to drink whiskey in it...so there's that."

"Okay, done. Next agenda item: should we add the "ival" back on the "fest"?

Zzzzzzz....Well, I for one refuse to take the road of the unimaginative. I know you're with me. We can certainly do better that "Jameson Whiskey Tasting Tent." The wonderful people at Jameson are sponsoring it, so we'll keep that part. And in the interest of clarity and marketing, by all means let's try to leave the word 'whiskey'. Beyond that...blue sky, baby.

There's three way better names, and I don't even have pants on yet. Let's see what you can do. I'll present any submissions to the board of directors, assuming I can wake them up, and we'll see if we can turn this around.
