Strippers, Sammy. STRIPPERS.
Friday, October 8th, 2010 10:00 amWell that was a lackluster way to kick off the season, eh, boys?
Whatevs. I'm just not looking forward to Xander nagging me about the Flyers superiority for next week. That was actually my first thought after we lost, because let's face it, the regular season is 81 games long. This really doesn't count for anything. Nope, I was more concerned about not getting jobbed all week.
In other news:
FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY.
Aaaand I have to work the grave, which mean's I'll get to watch the first half-hour before I reluctantly peace out. Also, it's my alma mater's homecoming this weekend, so immediately after my shift ends, at 6AM tomorrow, I'm stopping back at my apartment for a shower, then proceeding directly to IUP so that I may commence with pre-gaming. I should be there by 8. The parade starts at 10. My friend Arlo is renting the Den of Sin (which he actually renamed the "Den of Nerd") so the locale will be absolutely perfect.
The Den of Nerd is on a side street, two blocks from the parade route, three blocks from the state store, three blocks from a super cheap pizza parlor, and across the street from The Brown. It's a hole, but it has a nice stoop out front for waving at the police and a nice alley, yes, that alley.
There will be no repeat performances of that particular stunt, thank you very much. I'm just sayin'....you know...it's there. Fond memories e'nat.
So, I'm hoping I'll get around to watching 6.03 at some point tomorrow night or Sunday morning. I see myself crashing early in the game with that whole not sleeping thing going on, but we will be going to The Brown tomorrow evening because it was recently sold and it's going to close in November.
My brother said, "Yeah. The new owners want to make it nice."
"No one goes to The Brown because it's nice. They go because there are dollar drafts every day, jaegerbombs are only $3, the bouncers are usually drunker than you are, and there's a good chance someone will be reading from The Communist Manifesto in the back room."
"Yeah. I think they're trying to get away from that whole sleeper cell vibe the place has going on."
"Lame. The people who go to The Brown go to there because no one else does."
This is the second of my college bars to meet an untimely end. There was a bar called Boomerangs on the main drag that I went to more often than I went to The Brown in the early days of my collegiate almost-alcoholism. Boomerangs was pretty sweet. There was a nice deck and a great jukebox. The women's restroom had a purple velvet couch in the foyer. There was free popcorn and you could get these big pitchers of Captain Morgan mixers for $5. Boomerangs was the site of many firsts that are waaaay to embarrassing to list here. Just...keep in mind that the whole peeing-in-the-alley thing was not the first poor decision I made in college.
*shrug* I went to a state school.
So even if I'm babbling incoherently, I will be there to pay my respects to the lovely Miss Brown Hotel.
And then I will watch Supernatural. Probably while hungover. And it will be the best hangover ever.
