Back Behind the Bar



The blog era is dead, I hear. Gawker's change in format was hailed by media critics who stated that ditching the most recent post on top format was dead.

I guess alphabetical order is the next to go. Well, the Lounge is more than willing to be the last bar/blog open if need be. I took some time off to determine my next path, and decided I am going to do what I do. Fewer scoreboards, more commentary. Fewer attempts to be a weak link to everything going on in the game of hockey, or music. More time spent on being a personal window into hockey, music, food, drinks, whatever.

Have you ever seen the last bar on the block? You know, the one with most of the houses either torn down or burned down? Yes, the block near you where, regardless of how sunny the day is everywhere else is sunny, it is always gray, poised to rain or snow, and decorated with bent, rusting trash cans and snow piles, crusty and black.

Vic's is that Lounge on the corner. That bar in a dying part of town. But we are open and we are going to have some fun until they plant us all in the ground.

To those of you taking a chance on visiting this part of town, thanks for coming back. I missed you.
