Monday night @ Journeys
Made my usual trek up to Journeys for a beer Monday night around 8:30. They’ve been open for a month now, congrats Bob & Shannon! Had a very tasty new beer while playing a game of “what’s been added since I was here last week”. This week it’s a large globe by the front door, and…. a couple of desserts.
Yes, up on the chalkboard there it was, a dessert listing, featuring a coconut cake with buttercream frosting (pretty much foolproof Villager-bait) and a chocolate bundt cake. Both from Grand Central, and each for $4 a slice. Bob slipped me a slice of the coconut cake which was delightful - although it gave my already bitter beer a wicked edge. Shaved coconut on the top there, Mrs. V!
Apparently Journeys will be getting a few dessert items from Grand Central, but there’s not a set menu - they’re getting whatever looks good, so it will keep us all on our toes. Had I know about this option, I might have gone for a glass of port and the chocolate cake instead of my beer - oh well, there’s always next week.

Hey, Senior V:
I also had a nice Monday afternoon beer, bread, salami and cheese plate and chat with Bob and Shannon. And yes they are the coolest folks, fit right into our funky dysfunctional family. The only problem I have is that I have a tendency to tell these gentle folks my life story. Like they need that baggage. Finally, I had to rush off to roller derby practice. How’s that for a tease! Read all about it in the May Post.
Happy blogging,

Roller Derby practice?! THAT is definitely a story best told over a beer.

Au contraire, Pierre!
Remember the song that Jim Croce sang about being in love with a roller derby queen? Raquel Welch in “Kansas City Bomber”? Well we’ve got one fierce roller girl right here in the Village. Enough said. Check out my story in the May Post.

Journey’s leaves me stranded…
I went to Journey’s the other night for a basic inquiry into their drink and food menu only to be shocked and repulsed by the rude bartender… After getting my extremely overpriced glass of wine, the bartender, who was wearing a pair of old basketball shorts, made one rude comment after another about a few European customers who wanted to pay their bill… He justified the extremely crass behavior by saying…”They would treat us the same way over there”… Ha! what a low class joint. I’ll stick to the smokey haze and cheap beer of “The Ship” over this place any day…
