Dog Patch Saloon - 2496 Third
Mini (Dive) Bars on the Skids
|
-+- SPECIAL EVENT DIVE-BAR! -+- Note the dress code and time change! MINI-(DIVE)-BARS ON THE SKIDS Maybe you've heard of Mini-Bars above the Stars, Mini-Bars under the Moon, Mini-Bars down the Slides, and Mini-Bars in Aisle Six, next to canned goods. Each of these adventures entailed dressing up in formal wear, grabbing your portable liquor cabinet, and heading off to exotic locales. (Well, that's the idea, anyway). This is a twist on that theme, where we still don our finest gowns and tuxes, except this time we'll be packing some of the cheapest booze available, and sampling what true brown-baggers have sworn by for years. Bring along a bottle of Thunderbird, MD 20/20, or any of the fine selection of 40-ounce malt liquors for a discerning taste test in a location appropriate for such activities. Here's an opportunity to go slumming in style. (Before anyone gets too repulsed by the idea of having to drink all this crap, you can also bring some REAL drinks to cleanse your palates afterwards. But we'll see how far we get with the cheap stuff first.) What's a mini-bar, you might be asking in embarrassment? It's a small case that contains any of the following; cups, platters, can/bottle openers, mixers, playing cards, and has compartments for bottles in the opposite lid. The mini-bar is the alcohol component to a picnic set, and is a great way to carry your spirits around without the stigma of a crumpled brown bag. It's also referred to as a 'Briefcase full of Booze'. Here's a sample on Ebay (also called 'travel bars'): http://listings.ebay.com/aw/plistings/list/category13906/index.html Dress in formal evening clothes, but wear sturdy shoes for walking on rough terrain. Bring your mini-bars, rot-gut of choice, lanterns, glow sticks, snackables, and a strong liver. Tuesday, Sep 11 |
