This weekend I'm going to a horror convention with dad (Hey, why the heck not?) and I'm going to attempt to add "celebrity interviewer" to my resume by getting an interview with Nichelle Nichols. I'll let you know how it goes.
I'll tell you, Matty J really has this journal thing down. His conversations with other people are always hysterical, and the one he has today with our beloved Chief Moose is no exception. For the record, I agree with Mr. Moose. Rum and Coke is delicious. And effective! I've had the most luck geting pleasantly intoxicated without negative side effects when I stick to rum and Coke. God bless it.
Speaking of which, I don't understand why there are bars in the suburbs. When I was in Boston if I wanted to to to a bar I'd walk over, and then several hours later I'd stumble home at little danger to myself or others. (Although there was that one time I remember running REALLY fast because I had to pee. From what I can remember, I was running a lot faster than my brain was processing what was happening, so I'm surprised I didn't fall and injure myself). If you want to go to a bar in the suburbs, though, it's a whole big production. Who's going to drive? How much can they drink? How long do you have to wait after they drink until you can leave. No thank you. When it comes to drinking outside the city, give me someone's house and a couch I can crash on.
Of course, my feelings on drinking have never been the same since that time I turned into a zombie.

Oh wait, The Cage is way before your time. Sorry, my bad! ;)
Posted by: Bess Jankowski on October 25, 2002 4:27 PMI've never actually been to the "O.I." although by all accounts it's the new place to be, having supplanted the diner as the new place to drop into to have a mini class reunion. In fact I ran into Mike Norton in On the Run (a bar!) and he's like, "Yo, you should come to the O.I. some time." I have a sneaking suspicion, though, that I wouldn't see anyone there I want to see. No, the best choice all around seems to be to stay at home and drink.
Posted by: Justin on October 25, 2002 4:49 PMI believe we declared a moratorium on use of the term "O.I." until further research could be done. The feeling was that we should call it either stricly "The Orange Inn", or (preferably) "The Good Time Taproom".
The Squirrel Cage on the other hand, should, for obvious reasons, be refered to by the name "The Squirrel Cage", even when you're not even thinking about going there, just to be able to say those words. It should also be significantly more dangerous to frequent.
Posted by: Matt on October 26, 2002 2:26 PMThe hilarious thing about the Good Time Taproom is the blatant segregation that still exists among the patrons: all the working-class folks sit on one side of the bar, upper-crust elitist parental-types on the other.
