Since i'll be spending time howling at the full moon and drinking some port.

I'll have to check to see I'm going to open.

Potentially a 76 Warres Colheita.

Will set up inet channel

Oh, non binding theme
A port that has the same vintage as a leap year.

which would be for example 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992 and so on

Looking to start this @ 7pm EST.

A 7pm start will rule me out of linking up through inet :( Since it's a school night, I have to have finished drinking port by midnight or I will turn into a pumpkin.

Isn't this more likely to be the reason for your non-attendance via inet?

Not at all. Davy's have a splendid free wifi service that I was happily using to work at TCP on Wednesday afternoon and I'm sure that I hooked up to it on the one occasion I have visited TBH. I anticipated that if Jeff or Josh were on inet when we arrived at TBH we would be able to link up through the Davy wifi.

Or perhaps I might be too optimistic...

Acutally

we might have to change this to a pre leap year celebration
or the TPF, "I don't believe in leap days due to a rounding error" tasting on the 28th
