TWO'S COMPANY AND THREE'S A GREAT TIME!
TUESDAY! Yup, it's that useless day of the week but the Riding4Beer Winter Wonderland Tour (sponsored by those Christmas Elves at Budweiser) keeps right on going. We're not gonna let a worthless day named after a low-rent number ("2") ruin our good time, but why couldn't there be Threesday? Now that's a pretty damn good number! Think about it. 3-for-1 beers, third time's a charm, and of course, threesomes! You've never heard anyone say that the second time is a charm or that they wanna have a twosome!
Anyway, last night was a typical Monday Night Football night for us on Bourbon Street. We started out at some B.S. bar that ran out of beer before the first quarter of the game was over (NOT KIDDING!). Not only did they not have any Budweiser (our loving sponsor - HEY, send more money!), they didn't even have any Brand "X" beer! Well, you can't really watch football if you're sober (because then you really care about the game), so we took to the streets. Let's just say that it was f'ing freezing and we didn't have enough anti-freeze in our system.
The good news is that in the French Quarter you are never more than about 50 feet away from a bar. We took refuge from the cold in the very next establishment and it turned out to be a pretty damn good choice. They didn't have any TV's showing the game and there weren't any sports fans drinking there so it was the perfect place for Monday Night Football! And before the night was over it was filled with fat drunk tourists from exotic places like Omaha and Des Moines so it really couldn't get more fun. The good news is that tonight is another night, we saw the beer trucks lined up along Bourbon Street restocking and there'll be World Cup Soccer or Ice Hockey on a TV somewhere, so that's the perfect reason to have a beer or 20...
Kevin shouldn't have gone behind the bar checking for beer! It's cold here - almost 50 degrees!
RESTOCKING! But why is that driver flipping us off? HEY! They looked in our refrigerator!

Did anyone else think that the guy Kevin's "parking" a car for in yesterday's update looks like the principal fron "Ferris Buehler's Day Off"? Who knew he lives in New Orleans!
Keep smiling and Ben in Memphis, hide all your NASCAR plates!

It was fun meeting and hanging with you guys at the "My Bar @ 635" on Bourbon Street. You were right, the bartender there is one of the best bartenders we have had the pleasure of meeting. The pictures on your website look great and your site is hilarious! Sorry we could not get out to meet you at the other bar the next night, but we had other activities that I think are illegal to mention (so ixnay on the onkeyday owshay).
You guys are the most interesting people we've met in the Quarter; I think it has something to do with your genuine nature and "joie de vivre," or "joie de biere" (which I believe is French for love making skills with barn animals, but my French is rusty).
Alert us when you’re in Texas and we’ll make an effort to meet y’all for some drinky drinks (Budweiser Products of course)!
