Have you ever hung out with your friends at a bar, around a campfire, or at somebody’s house/apartment and just shot the breeze while drinking beer until 3am or so?

Well the creators of this site, Jim, Jeff, and Trey have all done so with each other, mutual friends and an assortment of various other characters. We’ve learned two important things from these intense, fun, and typically beer saturated discussions: 1) that they are usually deeply informative, uncannily honest, and remarkably productive instances of discourse; and 2) that they usually hold the format of starting off with a discussion about life and a loose assortment of issues pertaining to the world (TV, movies, jokes, observations, etc), then proceed to in depth sports discussion and analysis, and cap off with a frank and open discussion of politics and political issues that is always surprisingly insightful.

This site aims to capture those fun, friendly discussions that carry on until the early hours of the mourning or until the beer runs out. The site is organized into pages corresponding to each ‘watch of the night’ covered in these conversations, Society, Sports, and Politics, which you can access via the links on the sidebar. We encourage anyone who wants to join in this genial discussion to take part (by reading, commenting, and/or submitting a post) as we delve into issues that only a group of friends, respectful of one another, with open minds to each other’s ideas, and with a genuine interest in discourse can tackle with any meaningful productivity.

And yes, drinking is encouraged.

    Jeter, your first priority as President of the Stormy Present Fan Klub is to acquire us some groupies. And no skanks, we want Almost Famous caliber groupies.
