And I've Got One Two Three Four Five

Just Notes:

For golfing once a year I'm not nearly as terrible as I should be.

Reminder that EBONY is on Twitter -- @EmptyBlog. Sign up and follow the stupid crap I write about.

John Barleycorn, #111, (ALL OF THEM), after an incident in the summer of 2007, had been collectively blacklisted as a destination by many friends of the 907. A particular manager, drunk with power, didn't like the fact that we were spending time with people (girls) he seemed to think he had some sort of ownership over. As he had the bouncers at his disposal, he had them escort us off the premises. There had been about 25 people at the bar that night (slow night). Upon kicking us out, we took roughly 20 of those people with us to another location. Tool.

Dreaming up the idea behind EBONY we realized we would have to visit a Barleycorn once again. It was a brief visit, many thanks to the GUR staff for making it bearable.

Immediately after entering Moe's Cantina, #112, our entire crew of 10(?) formed a huddle at the front of the bar to assign artists for the "lead the dance floor" contest. If you're going to look like idiots the entire time you're at a bar you might as well start as soon as you get there.
Also taking place at Moe's: The "who has the tightest calf muscles" contest. Stephanie won. Many of us want a rematch.

Last night, because it's my weekend already, I met up with Halljams and Cornerstone Heidi at Danny's (not within the EBONY radius). Danny's is a good bar. A GOOD bar. Not, however, the kind of bar that deserves a line all the way down the block to get in on a Wednesday night at 11pm. The hipsters are here and they're full of sweat. They also need to branch out a bit.

Cabbing north and looking to continue our coversation about tragedies and college youth, Hall and I hit up the much more well lit and subsequently less empty Village Tap (also not an EBONY bar). Nothing spectacular to report, just that the Village Tap deserves your business.

FYI, ESPN: The White Sox have been creaming the best 2 teams in the AL for the last week. So this morning while watching Sportscenter I'd like to see Sox-Angels highlights early in the lineup -- not 34 minutes into the show, after 20 minutes of Red Sox-Yankees preview coverage and right before the human interest piece on the Fake Umpires of Toronto.

Busy weekend ahead, I'll try to recap as much as possible afterwards:
Hot Doug's
Elvis is Alive 5k (bike marshall)
Lollapalooza for 3 days -- all day, everyday
Sox-Indians on Sunday @ the Cell

Also...90+ degree weather. I was built for this. Senses working overtime.
