Life Is A Road Trip is on Hiatus until 2012

We’ve got some other things going on for the time being, but we’ll have our batteries recharged for a big trip in 2012.

Blizzzzzzarts …

Montreal, QC, CA

After the concert we checked out a few places in our search for Spencer Krug. We ended up at Blizzarts even though there is probably no way they’d let him in with his metaphors.

We ended up hanging with a birthday party.   I’m going to pretend to not remember the rest:

the Rural Alberta Advantage @ il Motore

the RAA was our motivation for slogging the miles to Quebec in the dead of winter. Err, I guess technically very late autumn.

They’re awesome. I’d link you to some music of theirs, but I believe in your Google skills.

Yes, they have a bearded brown drummer. I thought I’d cornered the market on that shit, but alas, no.

Sometimes Life Is Not A Road Trip

Montreal, QC, CA

Sometimes it’s a train trip and a plane trip. 3000 miles to see a band and hang out with your buddy that you haven’t seen in 6 months.

But it still feels like a road trip. It has that familiar sting:

This is what happens when you disparage the Quebecois. They are a feisty bunch.

This is the happy couple: we only remember Jean’s name.

Maddy’s for World Cup

Food, okay. World Cup, blah. Waitress’ ass, sort of great. Sorry, didn’t get a picture of that.

Neck Straightening Services available…

Washington, DC, US

Not much to say about DC .. we visited a bunch of Dive Bars on night one … nothing spectacular.  If you do have to be anywhere in the vicinity of Adams Morgan, we recommend the Toledo, where booze is cheap and the headlocks fierce.

West Virgin… ee.. ah.

Diana, WV, US

After driving through some of the most similar, flattest, boring states, we got to run through the mountains on the east side of West Virginia on our way to Washington, D.C. Very gorgeous. Funny, I didn’t feel at all weirded out like when I visited over a decade ago and rolled through some unincorporated towns. Thanks for having mountains, West Virginia. Good job.

Hot Brown and Ready to…

Louisville/Jefferson County, KY, US

I don’t think we got a shot of the hotel’s exterior, but yes, when we went to Louisville, we just HAD to stay at the Brown Hotel. Not just because it has an awesome bourbon bar, but because one of the most important sandwiches in American history was invented there. Yes, it’s the Hot Brown, AKA the Louisville Hot Brown, or the Kentucky Hot Brown, or, as I’m trying to get it renamed, the Zoobroker.

Of course, how can you not start lunch with a flight of bourbon … Elijah Craig, Buffalo Trace, and something else that I don’t remember. That’s what happens when you have 3 bourbons before lunch.

This is a shot of the bar.  The Brown Hotel itself, although a classic, is semi-mediocre, but the bar and the staff were wonderful.

And here it is, the Hot Brown.  The sandwich.   Mornay + Turkey + Bacon + Roasted Tomatoes + Parmesan + Texas Toast.   Foodgasm.
