Wed: Start at Paddy's for buck burgers and bottles, and at 9 went to Sips for 75 cent captain and cokes!
Thur:Sips, ladies night (see Monday)

Yeah, they screwed up Cys, they screwed up L&F and they definitely screwed up Peoples. My favorite bars are pretty much gone now. I'll go to Welch Ave when I'm down there, but I'm more likely to go to Main St now.

Boheme was place to meet nice international students.

I really enjoyed Thumbs. They had some good looking bartenders. You could bring in your own cd and they would play it. And probably my favorite reason was the old Pac-Man game, (the one where you sit face to face with your competitor)I know I lost laundry money many o' times because of that darn machine.

Hopefully you weren't always bringing in NIN cd's because I used to hear those a lot there.
I call the Pac-Man game a pizza hut pac man because it seemed like every pizza hut I ever went to as a 5-14 year old had one. Those glass table tops on those seemed to always be so freakin scratched up.

Old Thumb's Up on Welch, especially on Thursday nights.

Legion Post #59. My favorite bar because it's a real short commute from the Broodwich family compound, cheap and has some great service.

Stop up on Wednesday nights for $1.25 tacos.

BTW, I installed the FREE WiFi there.

I get hung over just thinking about those days.
I seem to remember you in a fight one night outside of one of these bars:
Bouncer:
You want to go to jail?
Cyznutz Friend to bouncer:
You want to die?
Bouncer laughed, we went back in and drank.
