Wed July 1 at 5:30 PM, The Original Billy Goat Tavern
430 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
Hey, First Wednesday is the first of July, so use your rent money to join us at the Billy Goat (430 North Michigan Avenue) and then maybe the Blue Frog . (676 N LaSalle) *
* Please do not use your rent money to do this.
Tiny beers, Wheel of Fortune if there's no sports to be watched, camaraderie, a sparkly patriotic hat to be worn for any karaoke songs with an "America" theme, fog instead of fireworks, and more!

I got mine at Target in the Dollar bins at front last year and I was supposed to throw it out after wearing it one year, but I kept it because nobody is in charge of my junk and clutter but ME! This is America. It is my Constitutional right to horde guns and anything red, white, and blue.

A google image search of "tiny bears drinking tiny beers" led me to this story about Voytek, the beer drinking cigarette smoking bear hero of WWII, so follow your dreams kids.

Speaking of, I realized all the "America" songs I was considering for karaoke are actually versions popularized by British artists.
Which I think is perfect given that it's Canada Day.

50th is either the golden anniversary or you are halfway to syndication.
Go for another 50 because syndication is a gold mine.

My body seems to have decided it's been too long since my last cold and that a long weekend is a great time to come down with something. I am going to stay in tonight with fingers tightly crossed that I can kick this before it's time for explosions!

Yay to self-care and explosions!

I am on my way and I feel obligated to tell anybody who may be new and looking for unfamiliar faces that I am not planning on wearing my sparkly hat at the Billy Goat. We're usually pretty easy to spot otherwise.

Agreed. Also I stand by this tweet; in fact, if anything, I feel even more strongly about it 36 hours later.
