flyboy and i spent the day wreaking havoc on the fair city of salt yesterday. it was a marathon judgment day, and not only did he tolerate my people skills, but he participated, and well i might add! the venue was liberty park for the drum circle; those who have spent time with me know, hippie watching is a sport. there were so many favorites to choose from and sadly, no camera. as usual, i made it out alive and offended only a few. duck man being the few (plural as i'm positive he considered the giant toy duck he carried around a friend). at one point duck man noticed our watchful eyes, it was then i felt a little guilty. not to worry, i washed that right down with more judgment and a diet coke.one sunburned nose later we ended up at andy's. i don't remember the last time i had such a good time getting groped at the local dive bar. sadly, it was just jack doing the groping. jack being my new dive bar boyfriend; this is not an exclusive relationship, nor is it reciprocated.
flyboy handled the entire day with ease, which causes one to think i've possibly found myself an elitist partner-in-crime.

Andy's is dangerous. Hopefully flyboy was watching you very closely. You seem spunky enough you wouldn't take groping from any of those guys that spend time there.
Another guy? How are we suposed to compete?
Um, you're meeting elitest boys? Hook a sister up!
You were groped on a date by someone other than your date? That is priceless.
anon: that was my first and last visit to the andy's. i'll stick to the twilight. yes, flyboy kept me safe.
ace: you're not SUPPOSED to compete, silly.
princess: m'dear, i would be more than happy to set you up....with jack.
anon1: not so much priceless as creepy.
I remain jealous.
The king of all Salt Lake dive bars used to be Ya' Buts. Remember the giant mural of the giant 8 ball on the side of the buiding about half a block from Zeyphr? I believe it used to be aporntheater or something iin the 70's. About the only remodeling they did was pull out the seats and put a ghetto stage in. They even kept the slopiong floor from the theater days. The best part was the giant poster advertising their "special". A can of Natty Light and a shot of Evan for a mere $3.50. I believe they closed up shop after their air conditioner broke in late June and they failed to fix it by August. I don't know iif they assumed their loyal crowd would continue to show up or if their were heavy memory altering drugs involved with the management but I believe Salt Lake is a better place without that bar sucking the life out of several of my friends.
Oh yeah, sorry about the typos above. I am typing one handed for a few days.
You are mean, and I dig it!
Flyboy is one lucky man. If you are as funny in life as you are here.
Andy's? Yikes! I describe their clientelle as all the people who got 86'd from the other bar that family owns. I did once see a hooker go in there at 2PM, though.
Um...I totally gave that duck to my ex-girlfriend a long time ago as a present. She loved it.
Ah, the Twilight.
I love the Liberty Park drum circle. Not as a participant, but as a very amused observer. SLC has the best hippies.
The Twilight, Burt's Tiki Lounge & Bar X were my favorite dive bars when I lived in the fair city of Salt. Are they still around?
The code names you use for guys cracks me up. Flyboy, Mystery Boy, I can't remember if you've had more. You should post on how they all got their names.
sbux again: jealous of what, exactly?
kerrith: i loved the ya'buts. you know it's a good bar when it's so dark you can't see your feet as you walk.
dane: um...thanks?
anon: flyboy is lucky, because his nickname rocks.
next anon: there's a first andy's? you have to love a bar where the male bartender's name is rosie.
lincoln: i hate to break it to you, but your girlfriend is now an aging gay man at liberty park. :)
theorris: love the twilight, it was our first choice. sadly, it was closed.
amy: you're right, slc does grow some nice hippies. yes, those bars are all still here. twilight, being my fav.
guest worker...errr, reader: that's a great idea. thanks!
Other elitist boys? I feel threatened and guilty. Which isn't to say that I don't understand. But as of 10.30 last night I checked myself out of the Jrose RV and another Coachella experience. Guest blog? All that manic shifting when applied to an RV steering wheel can be life changing.
As for Andy's, my girlfiend has a story about getting her smackdown there back in the day. Well, at least her smack. A story as enjoyable as Sage's carrot butter.
t: while flyboy is no you, he can almost keep up with me. ALMOST. yes, a guest blog is in order, that is if you can beat the giant baby from last year.
andy's is my new fav place, stop the judging. who left who to their own devices?
