PubNight #739 (11/24/10) - Automatic Slim's

Don't even pretend you're not going to do it. We all know the only acceptable practice on Thanksgiving Eve is stretching out our stomachs as far as possible to accommodate the trough of brined, roasted, candied, pickled and artificially colored chow that's to come the next day. Doing so with alcohol (beer is preferred for volume, but I suppose wine and liquor are tolerable substitutes if you must) has the added benefit of providing a head start on the tryptophan coma. It's just the Way Things Are Done, so you may as well Do them with PubNight.

We haven't been back to Automatic Slim's in a couple of years, and this seems like a good time to enjoy the smallish space, the cheap drinks and the good eats. One Yelp commenter helpfully points out that he "didn't pick up on the douche vibe too much." A promising start!

In other PN news: Holiday PubNight is skedded for the evening of December 15 at Chez Konomore. If you haven't taken the 16th off yet, do it NOW.
