Here’s a look back at a long Memorial Day weekend in photos:

1970s “Polizei” BMW that was driving around Downtown on Saturday.
Not the first time I’ve seen someone walking the streets of Downtown with a trash bag slung over his shoulder, but it was the first time I’ve seen Bicycle Bobby do it. The Ques Brothers had an extra keg, and we borrowed a trash bag of ice from the Saucer to ice it down.
Sunday at the Saucer, my friend Chris requested a “really, really cold beer.” This is what they brought him.

Looks like the Saucer doesn’t know what year it is. I love it when they do stuff like this.
Yesterday I got up too late for brunch, so I headed directly to the Saucer and met up with the gang for Sunday Fun Day, and enjoyed some Leinenkugel Sunset Wheats on Fire Sale. After that a few of us wandered next door to the Silly Goose for their Bloody Mary bar. Then the gang decided to cook out on a rooftop in South Main. I decided I wanted to remain in the core for Memorial Day Sunday, so I parted ways from them and wandered over to Kooky Canuck for their $2 beer day. Then back to the Saucer, then the Goose, then joined a friend for a burger at Huey’s which we managed to order 5 minutes before their kitchen closed. So I had a 15 hour day out at the bars Saturday, and a 14 1/2 hour day Sunday. Gotta love holiday weekends.
I won’t hit the double digits today, but it is Monday Fun Day. Soon as the laundry gets out of the dryer it’ll be time to get started. Mmmm… $2.75 Dos Equis Lager at Pint Nite prices. Of course, it’s also dollar Depression-era cocktail night at the Silly Goose from 5 to 7. If you work out east and get home too late most Mondays to enjoy dollar cocktails, today is your chance! Hope to see you there.
