BBB Pub Crawl II: Repeal Day

Friday, December 5th marked the 75th anniversary of the ratification of the glorious 21st amendment to the US Constitution, and an end to 24 years of prohibition! And we celebrated! Many weeks ago our loyal reader(s) read Rich's original call to action! Well, we acted, and drank that action well!

I rode up to the rear of the spigot and found a dozen bikes locked and chained in all sorts of various configurations. Some looked familiar and i looked forward to seeing friends as well as finding out who the new bicycles belonged to. It was super wonderful to see a bunch of friends after being away for almost two months.

Rich gave a passionate sermon extolling the wonderful virtues of the 21st amendment. His hand gesturing was so full of energy his right arm is captured only as a blur, speedy beyond the realm of digital photography. We reveled, we gave thanks, we stayed late past the schedule and enjoyed the breaking of such earthly rules.

Mere glass cannot stop the energy flow of BBB dap, especially if involving Rich and a liter of beer and el Presidente de China. I believe I once got a text from Lucas proclaiming vegas as "the place where wasted happens!" Yep, pretty much. Two Fridays ago i stayed for two rounds of the special, a liter of any draft and any shot for $10. Dang. But as usual, a good time was had. More amazing photos after the jump including Joel working the stripper pole at Mad Dawg's!

Is Rick doing an anti-flat ritual of some kind as Rich double fists multiple liters of beer and Julia laughs nervously and protects her pizza.

As promised, Joel working it for Kristen and looking quite sexy!


A few went to Sully's, the most at the Spigot, half made it to Mad Dawgs and a few to the Red Rock. A great night and a hell of a way to return to Hartford!

Personally - and completely unbiased - I don't think we should be too hard on those two people who drove! One of them showed up to the BBB Pub Crawl after her uncle's wake and was so concerned about making it to the crawl didn't have time to get her bike. I'm just saying...it's still bad ass that they showed up! More than all those punks who stayed in that night. ~someone who is just concerned

awww...thanks completely anonymous comment poster! And I totally agree.

I wonder if Josh's "bee bag" has actual bees in it and that's why he rides so fast.

El Presidente de China said...

Nope. Just performance-enhancing drugs.

the photo and comment were made in jest, no harm intended. all have been removed.

however, i am sure we will all continue to clown people who tend to drive to biking events as we always have...since the first posts!
