Friday nite in outpatients.....no no, Friday nite in Humbolt Park, or maybe even the next neighbourhood over. Wait- from the beginning.
It was W.R. Heurt's B day celebration Friday nite, and it was decided by him to have it @ the latest in "Outpost" bars, the .........uh, it's like 3600 West Armitage, so it may even be beyond humbolt- I'm not sure. But it is a wilderness for similar-me types in that part of Chicago, and I'm always interested in new places.
I left late- Nephew.3 was having a 13th b-day party, and I stayed late for the pizza and sympathy. Neice.3 was complainging- she's 15, and all she wanted to do was go out with her frenz (just wait, young parents all- the time put in now is well worth it 10-15 y later.). The rest of the crowd showed up. Gf was here as well- it was gonna be too late for her to go to North Side and then back to work, so she chose this as her battle.
Weegee's Lounge - the name of the place- was pretty good. Like I said earlier, it's kinda an outpost place- sotra like Rainbo in the late 1980's or Black Beetle in early 2000's or many other types. Good crowd. The Young Guard moves en masse et esemble rarely these days (Unlike the stunning envelopement manuevers of 7-8 years past- when this unit lived less off the baggage
train and more on the land). However, I was in a good mood and fairly chatted up the crowd well. Made a point of accosting everyone about the aprty in 2 weeks- some can't, of course= the Smoky Treats, the Snowdens, and the Vampires are out. Boo. But some attrition was expected, yes...?
They had expensive cider. $5.50 a bottle. Yeesh. I'll go back, though. Nice crowd of us and nice crowd not of us.
