After the show is the afterparty

Last night I tried to take my out-of-town guest to Freeman's. I figured it wouldn't be crowded on a Tuesday night. Wrong! The maitre d', who looked a bit like Jesus if he'd roadied for Lynyrd Skynyrd, told us he could seat us tomorrow. A ha ha ha ha ha.

So instead we went to El Sombrero. It's been renovated to look like a suburban Greek diner. Grain-alcohol margaritas don't taste nearly as good in a faux-finished setting.

They taste best in a go-cup, sipped on the street, as you're trying to dodge those pesky parking meters.

Isn't El Sombrero also a ZZ Top album?

I thought we were dabbling in R. Kelly allusions here!

But did the good Lord invent Tecate while roadie-ing for Lynyrd Skynyrd? Because it raises all sorts of questions about the dual nature of the letter y. Can it exist as vowel and consonant at once? And could He make a beer so rich and full bodied that he himself couldn't funnel it?

Huh? The Hat remodeled? Something's wrong in the Lower East Side.

God created beer because he loves us.
lynyrd skynyrd is just icing on the cake of lyfe.
God imparts these, His graces, on the worthy and the unworthy alike. y? because he loves us.
