ATTN AGENT WHALE

That van is pure win sir.

/me lives in athens...

That's simply amazing.

Lol spare drive shaft.

I want to have your van's babies.

One, holy hell that's a van. 

For your viewing pleasure, what the van looked like when we bought it for $1500 3 years, a few dozen cans of spray paint, and 2 cross country trips ago:

I think it used to be O'Hooley's. They brew their own beer and I'll gladly buy you one.  Around Halloween time they brew pumpkin spice beer, it will run you $4 a glass but holy hell it is worth every penny.

We were carrying a spare drive shaft, what else do you think we brought with us "just in case?"

I had it on Halloween actually. It was a really good, surprisingly normal pumpkin ale. The place was pretty empty for it being Halloween. I guess most people were on the street.  Over the winter they had a stout with vanilla and nutmeg brewed into it. None of it beats their smoked oat stout though.  I feel bad because I've yet to try any other bars but JackieO's and Tony's (Which is a lovely dive). That string of smaller bars up a few blocks from Broneys and across from the Court Street Diner look awesome. I just am limited in my free time.

I tried out most of the bars at least once, but I only had a select few that I attended with any regularity.  

The Red Brick is full of bro's, popped collars, pink polo shirts, the wrist bands, all total bros.  In particular bros who are majoring in "business" (no not marketing or accounting just  "business").   On the positive side, they serve "mega mugs" aka ~4 beers for $3 on Thursday nights....and if you're a kleptomaniac you can steal yourself a big, awesome beer mug. 

Pawpurrs has "power hour" from 8-9 (or was it 9-10?) where you get a beer for $1, but be warned, they set their clock ahead by 10 minutes. 

I highly, highly recommend Slice Nice (Thursdays) at Courtside.  $0.50 (or $0.75 for pepperoni) for a decently sized, delicious slice of pizza. 

While I'm sharing my OU wisdom here is the most important piece of info that I will ever share with anyone: the self proclaimed "Best Land Lord in Athens" (because he works for the newspaper and gives himself the award each year) Guy Phillips and his "company" (which is actually just a really creepy dude in his basement) "Housing Hot Link" is NOT a viable option for a land lord.  He is a total and complete crook in every way imaginable.  One day, whenever he finally dies, I will be singing and dancing in the street, kissing babies.
