6 Bars In 6 Days

Oh, werd?
You know it's time to take a night off when you notice a stat like this one....
The stories behind the streak:
Thursday: Buttermilk! (The Slope) A Johnny Cash tribute consisting of all-star folk-country bands and the bartender (Canadian Steve) buying me drinks. Rock on!
Friday: Tierney's! (Montclair) Talked my way past Johnny Thunder the bouncer by explaining we grew up in the same neighborhood (20 years apart) to find a great cover band, free beer compliments of Jimmy the bartender, and reduced price Jameson's after the bar closed ("But only because you're buying a shot for Johnny.") Johnny Thunder gave me a kiss on the head, dubbed Eric 'Lucky Bastard' for the night, and said we were welcome to skip the cover charge again any time. Sweet!
Saturday: South Park Bar and Grill! (Montclair) Ariel and David fought Eric and I for the spinach dip. Eric stuck a french fry up his nose and entered a fry-eating speed contest that only existed in his head. Hilarity ensued.
Saturday night/Sunday morning: Chinese Kareoke bar! (Flushing) Ask me for the full story, but basically, there is one bar in Flushing. It has Chinese kareoke night. They serve free tea. They sing rather well. We, alas, did not know the words. Oh, and it was 4:30am. And I had work at 8:30am. Turns out, Flushing does not celebrate Chinese New Year after dark. Just in the daytime. Spontanaeoity always leads to goofy adventure. =D
Monday: The Wagon somethingORother! (W4 stop Manhattan) Couple of pints at our favorite NYU hangout after receiving a discount at the "Fantasies!" store from a girl who thinks she went to high school with David Dower. Interesting...
Tuesday: Commonwealth! (The Slope) Watched the State of the Union address with Park Slope Drinking Liberally. Switchgrass abounds!
And so ends, my bar streak.
