[Vol. 2 Issue #12]
Friday
Friday the 13th in October, spooky!? We asked our A.I. Assistant how frequently Friday the 13th lands in October, and taking a Gregorian calendar accounting for leap years and a span of the last 400 years, Friday the 13th lands in October every 7 years or so. Let's jump into a few spooky-themed stories and see if we can find a few drinks to accompany our reflections. We start at Crystal Lake and end with Crystal Castle. It's Friday, the best day for a happy hour!

The Smithsonian helps us parse through all the myths of Friday the 13th; for us Gen-Xers, it comes down to an 80s horror flick we all watched on a VHS tape called Friday The 13th.
What most of us forgot about the original was that Kevin Bacon was in it!? None of us will ever forget… summer camp was never the same. Jason and his hockey mask made sure of that.

Further reading of the Smithsonian piece points to the fact that we love the number 12, a dozen, a perfect number when it comes to hosting a dinner party hundreds of years ago. Go one over the 12 at your party, and all hell breaks loose.

A wonderful poet named Megan Fernandes writes our Friday Happy Hour Poem. It's called Friends with No Benefits; the title is misdirection. To us, the theme Fernandes weaves together is about being with someone who knows you without words, judgment, or the need for intimacy. Those people are rare indeed.
