check your Strib tomorrow for interesting tales of Perublican anti-gayness in media buying. good local fodder for the MNSpeak’s pre-RNC Friday.

alie, don’t discount the purchasing power of the LOG CABIN REPUBLICANS!
I still think abe lincoln’s gayness is why everyone in the south is so bigoted.

Saturday and possibly Sunday because of the holiday are the only nights where this is even an issue because:

1) the $ amount to required extend your hours had dropped considerably
2) even so, you have to have a lot of capacity to make it worthwhile
3) any and every connected RNC affiliate is going to be @ a private party drinking for free until 4am if at all, not @ bars. since this town(s) is dead just about every night @ 2am except Fri-Sat and the convention is on school nights, not over a fri-sat, I'm guessing there are going to be a couple of lousy drunks and a lot of bored bartenders come 2:30am.
4) sorry, ladies, I already have a steady date for all the good parties.

That looks like a job for the American Lung Association.

I didn’t know Brothers’ was even still open. I would have thought the high level of free floating Herpes Virus would have caused the CDC to shut it down.

The Depot is an odd one

I guess you just had to meet a few requirements and fork over 2,500 bucks to stay open, so I guess it's up to the individual bars, really.

I’m surprised that the Lamplighter wasn’t on that list.

The Depot is an odd one — a little workingman and workingwoman’s joint down near the old train depot. A nice enough blue collar bar, but a bit off the beaten track, so to speak.
