Happy Hour

Take away the question mark.
Just make it Friday, Feb. 3rd.
If you get there before anyone else, just shutup and wait.

For an hour of drinking Old Milwaukee in the parking lot before Shelly gets there at 3.

ah, I was hopin for club oz but the nut hut is right around the corner so that's a plus

Ozz would be better at the end of the night. It's the last stop, in so many ways.

Sounds good I'm in.

How are you organizing this if your fiancee is having a gallery showing at the exact same time?

The gallery is in the Nut Hut. You know they're trying to class up the place.

In.

i think i'll stop by the opening, but i'm not going to spend all night there. i'll be at the nut hut.

I'll be there. Maybe running a little late, but I'll make it.

FF HH at the Hut sounds good, probably a bit late but I will be there

walked past there last night and peeked in, looked exactly the same as Paddy's... empty

Then you should have done that when you first made the post. Not that I expect anyone to be there at 6, myself included, but you can't go changing the event the day of.

I'm still holding out hope that this will draw a few new people and we'll have something like the first HH at O'Reillys this time last year where we actually get to meet new people.

Maybe if you came out of the bar once in awhile you'd meet "new people".

A change of scenery would be nice, I won't argue that.

Well...you can always go, just pretend you didn't read about it here, watch the people at the bar, and by the time the cat pictures come out, you can decide whether or not you really want to step up and identify yourself.

Waiting to hear if this stupid client call is gonna get canceled or not, then gotta do some sekwit stuff, then I can leave work and go.

Is it still cash only?

It's probably a safe bet to assume it is. There is an ATM in there though.

No you can also pay in jackpot internet cafe credits

How do we know who is who? We don't have any name tags and my "Laura" necklace from 7th grade turned out to be fake gold so it's all rusty...

To be honest we'll probably be the only people there. I'll have green pants on and Leo will be dressed like he raided Don Draper's closet.

omg the th cat pictures are the worst. I'm out.

Don Draper raided my closet.

Sounds easy enough!

Was waiting for the bus near there the other day. They had good music playing.

Could someone bring some dishwasher soap to happy hour, please -- I'm all out. I prefer the tablets. Thanks.

Youre all being very anti social.

Cheers: me, bozo, meredith, th and wife, landj (both of them), kenzo, lighterthief, newcomer, leo, the owners of Shenannigans.

Jeers: the rest.

I was there but had to leave around 7:00. Jeers to all you "fashionably late" people.

FU HH couldn't compete with the Jackpot Internet Cafe party and their big red cups.

I would come out to one of these, but it would have to be a Saturday.

It was awesome to meet Mr and Ms Shenanigans. I CANNOT WAIT for them to open, especially since they will be breathing in some life to the west side of Front Street. Finally a real sports bar this way cometh, so convenient to where I get off the train from work. Hopefully will be open in time for the Phils.

Was and am sick.

You got a pass due to illness.

It should be open in time for the All Star break.

Oh yeah on a side note, the new Middle Eastern place is almost done. It has a 2nd floor balcony and I saw tables and chairs already set up last night. They got workers inside furiously trying to finish up the place so we can all get our kebabs on.

The outside has new 1,000-watt sodium lighting all around the permiter; at night it's lit up like a Christmas tree. I'm assuming the weird-shaped lot most people cut through to get from Berks to Norris St. is going to be made into customer parking? With Shenanigans coming, the empty feeling around the area may finally melt away at last underneath that stretch of the EL.

5pm, I was going into my second hour of frying chicken for the ravaging horde.
6pm, Staring at clock wishing I was in any bar, anywhere.
7pm, Too late, already had depleted any enthusiam previously held for any type of fun later.
I did not have the wherewithal to do another thing. Barely continued breathing, (thank you autonomic nervous system.)

I just wanted to say that Mrs. Shenanigans and myself had a nice time at happy hour last Friday.
It was nice to meet the faces of the people that write on this blog.
When is the next one?

When are you opening?

I wanted to come but had dinner plans. Hopefully I'll be at the next one, ball and chain in tow.

I have cat pictures too and want to come to the next HH just joined the neighborhood blog today.

Whats with the people with two intital usernames and cats?
Put them at their own table.
AND YES, I'M USING STUPID EMOTICONS SO I DON'T UNINTENTIONALLY INSULT ANYONE, (ELSE).
Althought I don't entirely have a problem with vinegaring off the entire planet. (notice no emoticon).

Codegrrl - Who cares what Al thought?

Couldn't resist.

Spring 2010

We should be open by the end of summer THIS year... no, really!
I know, put up a new sign.

No, we need to live up to the challenge of its name; step up your game.

As long as there is no pistol whipping

Craft beer?
