The Ghost of RubangB said: I actually hate bars. Always have, always will. Hated them for years. I hated them when I drank in them, I hated them when my bands played shows in them, and I hated them when I worked in them.
Here's my philosophy:
I have better music at home (over 22,000 songs, and several instruments to play). I have cheaper booze at home ($6 bottle of booze instead of a $6 shot). I have video games at home. If I break shit at home, nobody beats me up or kicks me out.
But yeah, everybody's out of town tonight and I have the whole house to myself and I actually have a final paper due (via e-mail) at noon tomorrow. I should start it. Film theory crap. |
Most bars are shit, but there are some good ones too.
There's a place in Dallas called Deep Ellum and that place is interesting. The area just goes up and down meaning that it will be a nice place for a while, beggers and crime come in making it a shithole, property values decrease, people come in and build it up, chase away the beggers and crime, property values rise, and then it just starts over again.
Anyways, during the shitty times there are some great bars there. Go there on a weekday when it isn't filled with drunken college students and find one of the ones that has the live blues jams and it's great.
