@avclub-3be42d8a3412057f79af152555e39bd4:disqus   Ho-lee Fuck. 

I won't pile on to the restaurants, there is SO many - Sofitel is expensive!!

@avclub-8dd007f4a97be79c135c67999bf5b27e:disqus  - I'm a Chicagoan (suburbs) but stay in the city a lot.  Sofitel is indeed great, but I have to give an edge either to the Dana Hotel or The James.  Very cool little boutique hotels, and Dana has a kick ass nightclub on the top floor.  It can be a little too clubby some…

I'm in San Fran next weekend. Can you get it in bars?? or is it a store thing only?

@avclub-a452630477eb936fd36fc9a9542d4598:disqus  goddamn that is funny

This is my favorite sub-thread. 

Liked for dirigible

My brother recently read something along the lines of 'global warming will make Chicago weather more Houston-like' to which were both like 'fuck'.

@avclub-cc085192f4f7ace734aa2474593aebf2:disqus  - cool you have at least that from you dad. I looked up Folsom Steet Fair - no mine's not that fun! What makes it cool is that it is very moto, but very subtle - all flat black and no "flair". And somehow it fit perfectly!

@avclub-d542a3419c3ad57206a96bcc86155ebc:disqus  - you're getting a bonus. "Better late than never" has never been more approriate! (PS sneak it on the credit card in February.  That's a pro tip right there.)

For me it was from about 18 to 23. Then practice spaces no longer have that mystery, and sleeping on floors gets old. Oh well. Very fond memories of drinking/smoking/cussing/laughing my ass off.

@JudgeReinhold:disqus  - I'm finding that to be true. A few months ago, depressed, thin, and totally not giving a shit, I met two pretty incredible women, one of which I'm still seeing regularly. why does it work that way, ladies??

@avclub-cc085192f4f7ace734aa2474593aebf2:disqus  - It's fine for a bucket of frozen margaritas by the pool, but yeah, it's shite. I've had some Don Julio Anejo on the rocks with a lemon and it is great sipping, very similar experience to whiskey I'd say.  Patron Anejo is great too, but it's over priced.

@avclub-caaa25a4a561499fd972075b3d706d9e:disqus ,  I too love the "idea" but the execution - yech.  I think most of these "ethnic" drinks were born of the peasentry, as the absolute cheapest way to get loaded, now they have some kind of mystique about them.

I posted this last week, I think too late for responses, but any ideas on how to be friends with people without drinking? Last 30 years is kind of a blur.

@avclub-a1967e6de4ca99fb2635d94b99453928:disqus  - I think you totally pulled it off.  Did she… pull you off perchance?

My 2 boys are now 14 and 11.  We rarely got them fast food when they were little, but now they are growing like crazy in every direction, love fast food, and it's cheap, quick, and oftentimes the only option when driving to basketball practice or whatever straight from work.  I hate giving them that shit, but what am…

What is it with fat guys and year-round shorts?

Not sure wear this fits, but I bought a fantastic 70's/80's Hein Geirich (sp) heavy leather moto jacket that gets all kinds of compliments.  Pockets all need redoing though. 'Twas $300, but it will last forever, and I was depressed and needed something new/cool (i guess old and cool in this case) so fuck it.

Sounds fun, and, to me, like a (very?) distant memory.
