aka the best time ever.

the first unintentional date i ever had with my boyfriend. so we still haunt it date style. its super fun.  

a good girl friend of mine introduced me to this tavern before i even lived in los angeles. we always had a secret desire to wear those lederhosen. if you dont know... the lovely girls at this place wear lederhosen in their own modern interpretaion. it is the closest one can get to a fantasy life without divulging themselves entirely. and so, too much stress equals a trip to the red lion.

bitburger.

sauerkraut. 

jagermeister.  

problems solved.

for a vegetarian the restraunt part of the expereince is not the most developed. but i guess that just makes the drinking more effective. on this evening of pints of beer and delicious german fried potatoes, there was a wide array of nonsense throughout the conversation. was andy warhol more talented as an artist or at networking? who lives better lives--priests and nuns or buddhist monks? why is vinatge clothing not as great as it used to be? is sauerkraut better hot or cold?...is it ever even supposed to be cold? does america need award shows anyway? or is it the last great tradition?  why doesnt every bar have an electric keyboard player? especially when the dudes next to you are requesting Nine Inch Nails but they are probably 109 years old?  

the questions dont really matter because they dont get answered.

what matters is the dark atmosphere, the beer garden on warm summer nights, the beer, the cigarette vending machine, the beer, the keyboard player, the beer, and the company.
