blackout nostalgia

I went to happy hour at Wurstkuche (a bar actually worth the hype, although I did not try the rattlesnake sausage), but the power was out on that block. This did not deter Wurstkuche in any kind of way. Wait staff walked around lighting candles all over the place, and the bartenders certainly didn't need electricity to serve draft beers. Made me nostalgic for the NYC Black Out of 2003, when the entire city lost power, and everyone was out on the streets, grabbing free beer and turning Manhattan into one giant party. Wurstkuche was almost as cool. Almost.
