Let's Tie Some Decorative Yarn Around the Ends of the EADJ Mail Sack!
From Emily Kane in Chicago, an email with photos entitled "blue frog #2 SUCKS:"
"I thought you should know that the 2nd blue frog, which opened up on Hubbard just east of State, does NOT measure up.
captured via camera phone: huge, douchebaggy river north sports bar with pathetic attempts at infusing the beloved kitsch factor."



You see, the original Blue Frog on Erie & Lasalle was a shit bar. It was a hole in the wall with random patrons that happened to have some board games lying around, and they just happened to serve great burgers with tater tots. Now, to expand that into a "brass 'n fern" type place where bachelorette parties come to do melonball shots and some floor traders come to cheer on their favorite college lacrosse game– that's an abomination.

The fact that they've hung some dusty board games from the ceiling of this nice place to copy the original bar shows you how incongruous it really is.

Weak.

An IM Convo With Vince

If you don't know what Blue Waffle is, then you definitely do not want to visit "Blue Waffle dot net." You really, really don't want to. I've warned you.

Grand Central Bonus Beats
The question is, "Are they together?"
A few details that you probably can't see in this low-res YouTube clip:
• That's a big jar of muscle protein (like John Reid's Mass-Tech) in front of Tai Chi dude.
• I don't think in Tai Chi they give out belts, but Tai Chi dude is rocking a sweet pair of yellow socks. Plus he looked a hell of a lot like Steve Callahan.
• There's a bored white woman behind the blues singer. Not sure if she's with Tai Chi dude or if she's one of the women that done the blues guy wrong.
