So last night was it for the B-Side Lounge. It is all over. Doors are locked and we no longer have a place to hang out and bitch and moan and commiserate. It was really sad. We found out via text on Friday night and proceeded to spend a few hours on Saturday and Sunday hanging with the old crowd and remembering the good times. I am actually getting a little choked up just writing these words.
It is amazing that we all found our own little bit of Heaven in Ward 4. The B was where we all became friends. It is where we took family members to either show off or frighten off! It was a place where you could walk in and not have to deal with attitude from the bartenders. The music was cool and they often played stuff we wanted to hear. It was the site of our Sunday night funniest home video ritual. No more will we sit around laughing at fat people falling down (As Dave often refered to the show). Or the night that they would put the Simpson's on just so we'd stay a little bit longer. Then there was the night we made the mistake of staying too late on a Saturday and the crown was so deep and crazy that they let us out through the kitchen. Then there was the night that Clinton hung out with Ben Afleck and Jennifer Lopez.
There are so many people that we have become friends with over the years of hanging out there. Last night most of them showed and we all tried to think of a place that we could turn to. And none of us could. The B-Side is irreplacable.
I'll be posting some photos from last night later. Good times indeed.
