A couple weeks ago, a small group of people and I started a kind of club. A few times a month we'll be attending a new bar, the first one starting with the letter A, the next B, and so on until we end up at Zanzibar's Liquor Lounge or some similar Z place for our 26th event. Beyond the name, the only other rule is that the venue must be a place to which the majority of the group hasn't been.

The kickoff meeting took place on a Tuesday after work at the Avenue Tavern on Broadway. Overall, we thought this bar was good. Nice space, great bar food and a pretty chill crowd. However, they didn't have a single drink special, which seemed strange for a weeknight, and our waitress was all testy, serving up my pulled pork sandwich will a bit too much attitude. Here's a numerical breakdown of our A bar (5 best, 1 worst):

Atmosphere: 3.5
Food: 3.5
Drinks: 1.5
Staff: 2
Intangibles (cleanliness, music, whether or the staff gave me crap about looking under 21, etc): 3

Next up, Bar on Buena, review to be posted soon.

singley.org and Eric M. Singley have had an on-again, off-again relationship since 2003. This time, though, they are in it for the long haul. Here you'll find a simple blog about a complex man as well as links to his most active projects, all presented using a somewhat-pretentious art gallery metaphor. While Eric doesn't consider his work art per se, he does hope that you'll wander around singley.org a bit and enjoy the time you spend there. If there's anything specific you'd like to know about the proprietor of this space, please don't hesitate to . In short, Mr. Singley (you can call him Eric) has been or is some combination of the following: Minnesotan, Chicagoan, a web developer, a DJ, oddly skilled with a yo-yo, weeMighty, a large-event planner, perfectionistic, a software project manager, a writer, well-groomed, an entrepreneur, very fond of tea, a teacher, hungry for new music, not this guy, a user experience manager, and the designer, coder, writer and docent here at singley.org.
