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 …

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 [...]

Sometimes Life Is Not A Road Trip

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 [...]

Neck Straightening Services available…

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.

Hot Brown and Ready to…

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 [...]

Flying Saucer

After pool it was time to nosh … but my intestines couldn’t handle any more smoked meat. I’m pretty sure I have colon cancer right now.
So … we went with the healthy option of bratwurst.

We sat next to the nicest inter-island couple … Aimee from England (Arsenal fan, booooo) and Barry from [...]

Beale Street Absinthe Room

Beale Street in Memphis is pretty annoying .. total tourist trap. We checked it out for a minute or two before finding a nearly dead pool hall on the second floor. I love pool halls that you can smoke in, but it’s a little strange they didn’t have even one draft beer. [...]
