Into the Mirror

Just a minor maintenance update today. With Grant in town last weekend, we crossed seven more local bars off the list last Thursday night. It was definitely a fun night out, but the ending was quite a buzzkill which involved Chicago’s finest. Kyle should post a full recap on this evening in the near future. Looking towards the end of 2009 in accomplishment of our goal, I believe there are still 25ish bars left to conquer. With the holiday season around the corner, we’ll need to pull off some mad dashes in the coming Thursday thru Saturday nights to meet our end goal. Unfortunately there will be no EBONY fun this weekend with Kyle hitting up the Rogue brewery in PDX, and me heading down to the cultural hotbed of central Indiana to view some XC action. Put in your requests now for which of the remaining bars you want to tackle with us. We’d like to make the last month extra special. We are also looking for recommendations for end of the year accomplishment party, please leave us some feedback on where this event should be hosted? Should it be the very last bar we visit (if so, which should be leave available?), or should it be the best bar we visited all year? Our ears are open.

Berlin (Baumer, I’m looking in your direction)
Bernie’s
Bobby Love’s

Bridget McNeill’s
