A few words on "Bros11"

Yea, the name…it’s weird, I know.

So, after about a hundred years of talking about starting up a “web-log” without actually doing anything about it, something had to give. Ry & I were planning on having some beers this past weekend, since it had been so long, and decided that we would have to devote a portion of said meeting for discussing “blog strategy.”

The place was Deep Ellum, a favorite bar of ours. If you haven’t been, definitely check it out; it is owned/operated/staffed by a couple really cool guys and some nice/cute girls. The beers are excellent, the cocktails are excellent, and the food is mangiable as all get-out. It’s the kind bar that will have the Sox game showing on television, but Pavement will still be blaring on the sound system. Nicely. I would almost consider moving back to Allston just knowing this place exists.

Typical us, we spent an unfortunate total of 8 seconds talking about the blog. It went something like this:

Ry: “So, why are you so hesitant to start up this beast?”

Me: “I’m just worried that it might suck…that would…suck.”

Ry: “Yea…”

(bartender arrives)

Me: “Yea, I’ll have the De Ranke XX, please!”

(discussion over)

The one thing that DID come out of this evening of drunkery was the following: when the lights came on at the end of the night, and we grabbed our tab, we noticed that Casey the bartender had put down “Bros 11” at the top, where one's name would usually be. We (RyToy) found this particularly amusing, and decided to run with it.

So, let’s just call this “stupid decision #1 of our blog” -No?

More to come….
