Lis and I just got back from the Honey Fitz pub

Our plan was to stop in, grab a beer and a cider, and go home.

As we were drinking, the Sox game was on in front of us. And then the trivia contest started.

I mean, we figured we'd fill out the thing, but forfeit part way through and go home, 'cause we were tired to start with. But, y'know, as long as we were there, we may as well TRY answering the questions.

No, we didn't win. But for a lot of the game, we were within a couple points of the winners. We ended up tied for fifth -- if we'd gotten the final question right, we'd have been tied for third, so it's not like we were even CLOSE. But we had fun.

Is that the bar in Malden?

That's the one. Trivia on Mondays, Guitar Hero on, um, Tuesdays, I think, or maybe Wednesdays . . . they've got stuff going pretty much every night.

I always noticed it when I lived there, but I think I somehow convinced myself that it was an "Old Man's Bar" and was certain everyone would stare at me and think I was a weirdo.

Oh wait, I usually believe that when I'm in public. ;-)

It was, for a while, but a couple years back, new owners bought it, brought in music acts and so forth -- now it's pretty fun.

Damn, why does that kind of thing happen _after_ I move away?
