ummm no, Tully is Robert Asprin's bribe, er rather drink of choice. I had Steve and Robert at my show this past May and I don't recall Steve drinking any of the Tully. Side note to other event directors... Steve and Robert at the same show is either not as much fun as one would think, or freaking hilarious. It all depends on your point of view. Our favorite part of their... interaction, was the toast off they had at the benefit banquet.
