The Monthly Pint Club

May's Pint will be at Broken Clock. Broken Clock is a member owned cooperative. Gary is a member. This means he gets a free beer every week. And if they make enough money, Gary gets a dividend. Gary isn't holding his breath for that dividend though because it's hard to drink that free beer while holding your breath.

There is food. I can't say anything about it because it wasn't there last year when I went (Gary has kinda been out of town for a few months and they've changed things w/o asking him). Here is what they say about the food:
"Unidos Food Co. brings your boca new dishes and old classics. Our menu features delicious meats alongside vegetarian twists of traditional fare. We offer gourmet hotdogs and sausages, homemade chips with salsas made from scratch, hard shell tacos and rice bowls adorned with colorful toppings. Visit us inside Broken Clock and see what’s cooking!"

I don't know what the deal is with vegetarian food everywhere. Everyone knows that vegetarians cause global warming. Global warming is bad. Feeding vegetarians makes it worse. How? Well what do vegetarians eat? Beans. Beans produce methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas. Now you might say "but cows produce methane too". That's true and it's why I'm eating them as fast as I can (cows, not vegetarians).

There is some outside seating. We might try that depending on the weather and crowd. Most likely we'll be inside though. I'll post when it gets closer to the date.

Oh yeah, they also have pinball and foosball. We could probably get a tournament going.

Free parking is in the rear and on the street.

At the Zoo! It's going to be Wild! :)
