Daily Planet

just a comment. i will be heading down to the Daily Planet in a few minutes to enjoy a last call with the bartender. the Daily Planet is a place we all could go to and enjoy the art deco decorations, the stockholm martinis and, for me, the lack of interesting beers residing in its coolers. i am getting drunk as i write, because that is a promise i made when i first started this blog (but have not kept to). and i will continue the drunkenage at the Planet.
It is closing its doors tonight. The owner died last year or early this and the children have decided to put the entire block up for sale (the Planet, the Tower Theater, the place formerly known as Butterfield's, etc). i don't know what is going to happen, but i will definately tip my glass to the end of another era. the Planet is on a par with the Oly and the Wild Blue Yonder as iconic locations in the Tower District. if you read this in time, join me and marcel and randy and raise a toast. if not, just hoist that glass from wherever you are.

i went early and drank vast quantities quickly. then i left before i began licking the nude women portrait. and it's the first time that i've gone anywhere and asked for a beer and been told no beer was to be had. oh, the humanity of it all.
fortunately, i'm not adverse to a good stockholm martini, which they had in abundance.
so, three stockholms and an hour later...my fevered brain felt it would be prudent to absent myself from the premises and weeble my way home a movie and the couch.
