5 Simple Rules for Staying Inebriated This Summer: Alphabet Lounge
http://barcrawl.blogspot.com/2004/06/alphabet-lounge.html
5 Simple Rules for Staying Inebriated This Summer. Saturday, June 26, 2004. 104 Avenue C (7th Street). Take the L to 1st Ave. Upon arriving at Alphabet Lounge, my trusty sidekick Isabelle had received a phone call on her brand-spanking new Verizon flip-top. So, as is becoming all too common, I was forced to enter the bar alone. I will never be sure exactly what the band was called, but I recall quite vividly that the band name had the word "shankbone" in it. The Shankbone Mystique? We're in the middle of...

5 Simple Rules for Staying Inebriated This Summer: Anatomy Bar
http://barcrawl.blogspot.com/2004/08/anatomy-bar.html
5 Simple Rules for Staying Inebriated This Summer. Wednesday, August 11, 2004. 511 E 6th St. (Between Aves. A and B). Take the L to 1st Ave. But would-be bar owners, take heed of one small caveat; the old sign outside the door means your crowd will be a bore adage only actually holds if your bar actually has a sizable, cool following. Otherwise, all you’re left with is an empty, and otherwise uncool, bar on a Saturday night. So, do you like this place? My god, who told her to say that? One harmless excha...

5 Simple Rules for Staying Inebriated This Summer. Tuesday, August 03, 2004. 116 MacDougal Street (between W. 3rd and Bleecker). Take the A/B/C/D/E/F/V to W. 4th St. Easy- he wore a wig. Oh yeah, and he also grew a soul patch. By acting in KFC commercials, of course, the all-too common holding-ground for stars on their way out of the spotlight- unfortunately, that means you, Jason Alexander. Oh yeah- and he’s also since been seen sporting a soul patch. So, how long have you had a soul patch for? I pointe...

5 Simple Rules for Staying Inebriated This Summer: Blue & Gold Tavern
http://barcrawl.blogspot.com/2004/07/blue-gold-tavern.html
5 Simple Rules for Staying Inebriated This Summer. Monday, July 26, 2004. Blue and Gold Tavern. 79 E 7th St. (between 1st& 2nd Aves.) Take the 6 to Astor Place. For whatever reason, upon entering Blue and Gold Tavern, a famed East Village dive, I experienced sentiments all-too reminiscent of my days as a sophomore bar whore. Only, instead of that weird chick with the backpack, I was now that weird chick with the umbrella. Before entering the joint, I looked to the bouncer for some form of validation.

5 Simple Rules for Staying Inebriated This Summer. Saturday, June 12, 2004. 531 E 5th Street, between Avenues A and B. Take the 6 to Astor Place. It was Friday night. I had planned on meeting up with Leigh, who was at her friend's bachelorette party, a little before midnight. But apparently the lap dances and the consuming of beverages with penis-shaped straws had run a bit longer than expected. Leigh and I would not be able to convene until almost 12:30. Apparently, I did not feel confident that I had q...

5 Simple Rules for Staying Inebriated This Summer: A&M Roadhouse
http://barcrawl.blogspot.com/2004/07/am-roadhouse.html
5 Simple Rules for Staying Inebriated This Summer. Tuesday, July 20, 2004. 57 Murray Street (Between W. Broadway and Church St.) Tak the 1/2/3/9 to Chambers St. But I don’t want it, he replied. Because I’m not gonna call you. Of course you’re not gonna call me. But why can’t you just follow the normal social conventions of taking my number and never calling? It happens all the time, I really don’t mind. I don’t want to take your number if I know I’ll never call you. So why won’t you call me? I was determ...

5 Simple Rules for Staying Inebriated This Summer. Saturday, June 19, 2004. 244 E Houston St. (Between Avenues A and B) Take the F/V to 2nd Ave./Lower East Side. What could lie behind the illusive velvet rope, awaiting those select few who are good-looking and important enough to be granted entrance? Stockbrokers blowing lines off Heidi Fleiss's tits? Oh, the possibilities are endless! Think about the ramifications! Awesome marketing plan, Abaya. Real awesome. Howgrossly similar to walking through a gian...

http://barcrawl.blogspot.com/2004/06/adult-world.html
5 Simple Rules for Staying Inebriated This Summer. Tuesday, June 22, 2004. 165 Suffolk Street, take the F to Delancy/Essex. It was at this moment that Talia and I entered our own scene of Law and Order, which I will now transcribe for you:. LEIGH: Why does he think he can call me? Who is he kidding? Oh man, why did I give him my number? TALIA: It's ok, you just won't pick up weird numbers for a few days. LEIGH: (noticing something on the ground) Oh Shit! TALIA: Excuse me, sir? LEIGH: That's a woman Talia.
