If you have to fence off the live music--dive.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
there are 3 bars in our neighborhood( there used to be 11 at one point)
The derby- dive, small , bad screwdrivers, and people who are more open to all kinds of people give it a sideways look.
The mexican place that I can't remember the name of - mostly spanish spoken there. there is a sign on the door ( in spanish ) that says no guns, knives, or farm implements.There are lots of bar fights and they hire sequrity gards. I'd call it dive, but they serve a very specific group of people so some of it is neighborhood bar.
The florence - been there forever and ever amen. Biker bar. pool tables . not a place to order scotch , because they don't have much that is good. people are a fraid of it because it is a " biker bar" - but we know who owns all the harleys. They have food on special occasions, the usuals police the behvior of each other and strangers, and they have bands. They have a bike drive every year at xmas time and get bikes for kids at xmas ( not motorcycles). neighborhood bar.
I don't think there are any bars with swank in Fremont.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Actually, I think of that as more of a honky-tonk.
ETA: That being live music, no cover

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I might be out $2740.00 for a few days....

If I only had a brain...
no guns, knives, or farm implements.
I hate it when people bring their manure spreaders into the bar.

The florence - a honky-tonk? - too small, no danceing.
I just thought of a swanky bar in fremont - across the road is Papillon, a french restaurant. actually has a real nice bar- with good wine and themake a cosmo right. I really should be able to guess the name of whatever orange liquor is in the cosmo.
never mind - you weren't talking to me...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ack, Tommy, that sucks. I hope they fix it quickly.
I do not want a diet coke. I do not want a diet coke. I do not want a diet coke.

Hah. And I was just going to repost the edit.
Must remember that not everyone's pages look like mine, and they do not, in fact, have to hit Previous to see my edit.
