best bar in america

so i realize that the title of this blog is beth bikes; however, my ohio friends (who do not comment and, probably do not read), deserve some love. thus, this post: "best bar america", i.e. thursday's lounge.

if this bar was in san francisco or new york, it would fucking suck. it is cool cause it is in akron, ohio. only there will the hipsters, frat guys, harley davidson dudes, break dancers, and ravers all meet in harmony. 32 oz of beer for $3.50 (it used to be $2.50...), no cover, and a kickin' dj on thursday and saturday night... i actually hate dancing, except here. everyone goes ape shit. thank you to the love of my life dave pittman for introducing me to this place in the summer of '04. since then, i have gone every opportunity and have declared it: best bar in america.

this is my best friend amy who i always go with. she typically makes awesome faces like this while dancing. her cousin, paul is the other guy in the picture. he is the photographer of most of these pictures. and is pretty much the coolest guy ever. he actually lives in california too, but in santa maria.

here is my friend josh, who was the first guy i dated. we went out for a week....but, it didn't work out. nevertheless, he is the coolest guy to hang with, cause he is kinda looks like jesus. plus, he is the best hugger in america.

dancing gets really intense at thursdays. quite a good cardiovascular activity.

here is my beautiful best friend!

and her awesome cousin. he also kinda looks like jesus. drinking america's finest beer: great lakes brewery. they brew many fine beers, including: "burning river"--named after, of course, the cuyohoga river that caught on fire one day in the 70s.
