Back to the Pub Night home page
Good afternoon, eh.
Happy Birthday this week (July 24th) to both Jennifer F and Gerald F (same birthday, but different F; they are not twins.) In accordance with PubNight rules, regulations, and drunken blathering, Birthday celebrators get to choose the week's PubNight. Thus, this week's choice was selected by Jen and Gerald.
Here is what Jen said: "Daniel K. got me thinking with all his talk of dive
bars and hot dogs. There is a bar I have been wanting to go to for awhile that
has both of those elements, Rudy's Bar and Grill. Recently, Gerald checked it
out and gives it his seal of approval. Pretty sure they only have hot dogs to
eat."
CitySearch adds that it is "One of the last bars in Manhattan where suits,
slackers and lifetime ne'er-do-wells commingle in a laid-back, beer-laden
haze....a bar which prides itself on its stench of last-ditch desperation." We
have several ne'er-do-wells and slackers at PubNight. We just need a few suits
to join us to prove CitySearch correct.
Other July 24th birthdays:
In 1898, Amelia Earhart, US aviator (1st woman to solo Atlantic)
In 1900, Zelda Fitzgerald, 1st wife of F Scott
In 1949 - Michael Richards (Kramer on Seinfeld)
In 1951, Lynda Carter, Phoenix Az, Miss USA (1973)/actress (Wonder Woman)
In 1953, Gus van Sant, Director
In 1970, Jennifer Lopez, Actress
Well, alrighty then. We'll see you at Rudy's a-boot 8 pm there, eh.
