in the news today...

Anyone notice that Mickey's Thirsty Eye was on the front page of the Statesman today? Seems they're going to court over the recent ban on smoking. According to Mickey Leathers, the bar's owner, "99.9 percent of the customers are smokers." And that's only because they count Troy and I, who stop there after our Walnut Creek rides for a few bottles of Miller High Life. Oh well, just another local, character rich pub that's gonna close it's doors. Pretty soon we're gonna be a town of Little Woodrows' and Fox and Hounds' and Hooters'. I'm gonna go throw up now.

Keep Austin Weird

  14. There's your problem, Old Vixen isn't beer.

    BTW You could've chosen any other beer (within reason)
