I read that big Reader article on the Bell’s dingus today, it was interesting.
I love Monk’s. Yeah, it’s still open. Last time I was there, one of the people I was with knew the owner, and we got freebies all night. Sweet.
kenan, what happened at tuman’s?
shit, hold that story, i gotta go.
share yr love, chicago.
I have been really bemoaning the lack of good beer selection in this shit hole town lately.
Nothing happened at Tuman’s, far as I know. I found a scarf.
OH MY GOD REALLY???
Is the beer selection in liquor stores limited too?

Whaddar you talking about, can’t you get Bud bottles everywhere?
Depends on the store, but I haven’t found anything like State Line Liquors in MD or Liquormart in Boulder, CO around here. Then again, I have not been looking that hard. I just prefer to bitch.
xpost—no, can’t get OLD STYLE everywhere!
*genuflects*
Oh my.
A store with ~ 700 North American craft brewed beers. In Elkton fucking Maryland. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FROM A MAJOR CITY?
The guy in the cube next to me always says “g/f” on the phone instead of “girlfriend”. As in “gee slash eff”. IT HAS MORE SYLLABLES AND SOUNDS DUMB. JUST SAY GIRLFRIEND, FLAPJAWS.
don’t you mean JACKBALLS?
Haha. I was walking around downtown Chi with some dudes and saw a place called the Flapjaws Cafe or something, and it stuck (as in “what’s up, flapjaws” or “listen to ol flapjaws here”).
Holy cow, State Line Liquors, wtf. And here I was happy with the place at Clark and Foster. (Except dude gave me a shitty wine recommendation last time I was in there.)
Jenny, we should go here:
Hiya, I took most of the afternoon off to tend to some bidness.
For big beer (and of course, wine) selection I like http://www.samswine.com/Main.aspx — closer to my house, VAS Foremost liquor actually has a lot of good Belgians and craft brews.
I will go anywhere for TT, just don’t make me decide. Extra travel time may be needed, and I may bring a friend.
Otto, you ought to know better than to trifle with the VA Office of Internet Time-Wasting Prevention Department, Northern Illinois Division. We see all, we know all.
The dude from Scrubs ruins that show, I don’t care how funny it supposedly is. He sucks so hard. The Office, OZ, C.Y.E., and Mr. Show are all grebtx1000. Well, only the first 4.5 seasons of OZ, really.

FIELD TRIP TO SAM’S WINE.
OLD ILX IS BACK UP.
I’ve heard good things about foremost as well. Haven’t been in the Binny’s downtown, but I should check it out.
I started a new thread on the nu-old ilx: http://ilx.wh3rd.net/thread.php?msgid=7486949
