Modern Drunkard << click the link, lots of good stuff to read online
Reminds me, one day a couple of years ago I was sitting around Sleep Out’s on a Sunday with my friends Kit and Kelly. We had an idea for a REAL magazine for downtowners – not the kind of fluff Downtowner publishes, not a bunch of ads like the Downtown Merchant Guide, but a magazine covering the issues that downtowners truly care about.
We were going to call it “Three Sheets to the Wind.” Articles proposed for the first issue included:
Drinking on a Budget: Happy hours, pint nights and other ways to get drunk downtown without breaking the bank
Open containers: Recommended ways to hide your alcohol as you walk around downtown
Trolley Tour: Which art galleries serve the best free booze
Bum of the Month: Profile of a Downtown Resident
Escape Routes: Best ways to get home without getting a DUI or Public Intox charge
This is one of these great ideas that never quite made it to fruition. Publishing a magazine takes a lot of time and money, and all of us had other jobs to tend to. But I’d love to see someone take this idea and run with it. I think it has potential.
