Thursday Night Drinking Club

The Germans know what they're fucking doing...

First place I ever got drunk. Hofbrauhaus in Munich.

Great atmospheres...

I thought there was beer in Germany? I don't see one beer in any of those pictures.

What knocked me out at DePaul in Chicago was not the gin and juice or the pot, but the bassist for Poi Dog Pondering hitting a brown note and holding it for two minutes. It was not melodic. It was not a note to any song. It was done specifically to cause pain and disorient the audience. It worked.
+1 for the Poi Dog Pondering drop. Don't think I've heard them mentioned since the late 80's (and then in the same sentence as the Pogues in a demeaning fashion).

Poi Dog has not been the same band for a long time. 2000 or so? Never been a fan, but being in Chicago and being close to the music scene when I was younger, I've seen them a number of times.

Funny Pogues story: I was in theater 100 or whateverthefuck it was my frosh year at tOSU. During the first day of class the prof / instructor / actress / whatever was on stage introducing herself. I was in the balcony somewhere.

She goes on to say that we likely don't know her but some of us may know who her nephew is... Shane Macgowan. I couldn't help myself. I yelled, 'tell him to see a dentist.' She looked up and said, 'you obviously know my nephew...'

Apparently he's gotten some new choppers. Good for him.
