Augustember Blogger Happy Hour!

I was talking with Zenchick (insofar as one can actually talk via a series of ones and zeroes that have been converted to words displayed on a screen by an email deliverating program) and she came up with the idea of having a blogger happy hour. I don’t think one has been hosted in some time. Maybe months. Months!

So, to rectify that, (he he he, “rectify”) we’ve decided (me an’ Zenchick) to join forces and host a happy hour on September 1.

Now, we know September 1 is a Friday, and it’s the Friday before Labor Day, and you have “real” friends that you want to get drunk with, pass out with, and wake up with each other’s clothing on, and that’s fine with us. It really is. But, you could get started on that sexually questionable path of debauchery with us at No Idea Tavern in Federal Hill.

At this point, some of you are probably thinking, “Federal Hill? I don’t want to go to some yuppie bar with a bunch of wannabe socialites, trust-fund hipsters, and middle-aged frat boys. It’s too expensive, there’s no place to park, and generally, Federal Hill doesn’t need any of my money.”

But wait! No Idea is on the very edge of Federal Hill, so the crazy parking isn’t an issue. You’d have to drive 4 blocks to find a sign that said, “1 hour parking, you pathetic, working-class poor-person.”

And because Federal Hill-ites hate anything below their tax-bracket, they all stuff themselves into Mother’s, revel in their whiteness, and pretend everything south of West street doesn’t exist.

And the drink specials! Oh, let me tell you about the drink specials. The last time I was there, they were selling all-you-could-drink Yuengling for a dollar between 4 and 7. I spent one dollar and had 4 Yuenglings. You can’t beat that price! You can’t beat it with a sack full of doorknobs! Currently, they’re running a deal for 20 oz. Miller Lite Drafts from 5-8pm for only $1. That might change between now and then, but the Friday happy hour deals are ALWAYS affordable. You can get drunk with just the change in your couch!

So, in summation:

Friday, September 1, 5pm - ? (the question mark means you know it’ll be a crazy good time)
No Idea Tavern
1649 Hanover St
Baltimore, MD 21230
