Shakespeare and Co. Booksellers

Last Friday, at Al’s & Vic’s, I challenged a woman in a Hastings (bookstore) t-shirt to a pool match, just for bragging rights, but she declined, saying instead that she wanted to put her best people up against mine. Well, what fun is that? We ended up playing a couple of her people, but one of them (the dude) was a real douche bag, and so it wasn’t that much fun. Next door to Al’s & Vic’s some people are putting in a bar. They have a giant Hunter S. Thompson quotation chiseled into an exterior wall. It is a long quotation, not an aphorism, just a whole random paragraph immortalized on an outside wall for the drunks and the architects and lawyers to admire there on Alder Street. Incredible. Maybe it will be a bar devoted to literature! Ya think? A bar for the unwashed and the well read. Oh, wait, the Gourds already took that slogan. Anyway, we look forward to the opening of a place that pushes the envelope of convention. Bwah! God, I am so facetious at 6:57 in the morning. That’s it. I’m going to take a shower.
