Last night, Larry and I had the pleasure of guest bartending at the illustrious Ruby’s Tap House. Thanks again to the owner Stan who hooked us up, and to all my friends that showed up and made it worthwhile. Now for my observations:
I’d like to say that all taps are not created equal. […]

ST. LOUIS, MO - The moment the Boston Red Sox won the World Series, impossible things started being reported to local authorities. Pigs have been sighted on radar, the sun began rising in the west, money sprouted on trees, white men learned to jump, Pink Floyd reunited and Hell has also reportedly frozen over. […]
I’ve had some gripes about those maps in the new trains that show the stops along the route. You know the ones with an LED for each stop and the arrow showing which way the train is moving. I think they’re a great idea (it’s like watching a preliminary 1-D version of Pacman), […]
Looks like Friendster realized half the people registered on their site have their own blogs. Now you can tell Friendster where your RSS feed is and make it part of your profile. If you don’t have a blog you can use someone else’s! What remains to be seen is whether or not […]
Ted Leo’s new album, Shake the Sheets, came out yesterday and to commemorate the occasion he played at the Virgin Megastore in Union Square. Guess who wasn’t there. In my latest setback to see him, I got the dates confused. After last week’s debacle, I saw something about this show somewhere, and […]
NEW YORK, NY - The defeat the New York Yankees last night at the hands of the Boston Red Sox has unleashed a devastating force. Thousands of way-to-emotionally-invested Yankee fans have started riots, cried themselves to sleep, and bought toasters to drop in the tub. Derek
Jeter was found lynched to a tree outside […]
As I write this I’m wearing a giant fleece parka and sitting next to a space heater. My hands are numb, so that’s my excuse for any typos. I feel like a sitcom character in the requisite episode where someone gets locked in a freezer overnight. I won’t die, and my ordeal […]
Well as some of you may have noticed, it’s gotten a little cooler outside. It’s fall again, which is signified most by these three things:
The leaves change color
You have to switch to you warm wardrobe
You must brace yourself whenever you’re about to sit on the toilet seat, which for the next 6 months is […]
Since the fates conspired in my favor to see Wilco last week, last night they decided I shouldn’t finally see Ted Leo. You see, I found out about the Wilco show walking past Radio City Music Hall one night, and it was already much too late to buy tickets. The hipsters had gobbled […]
Turns out Lit wasn’t even that crowded last night after all. It was damn deserted until 9 when the open bar started. They have a decent happy hour as well from 5 to 9, a fitting inverse for the 9 to 5 unhappy hour. Toil away in the fields from 9 to […]
