Here Comes a Regular: April 2011

http://hcarblog.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 29, 2011. One thing I appreciate about being a liquor aficionado is that getting there costs less than being a wine aficionado *. You keep a stash at home, that’s what you do. Throw a party with food, and tell your friends to bring some booze. This may seem odd ( Why am I asking other people to bring stuff? Extravagant ( You mean I have to pay for food? Or inconvenient ( All that cleaning afterward! Though the eventual costs are just as insane. Photographs © A. Das. Links to this post.

Here Comes a Regular: Barography: 9C

http://hcarblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/barography-9c.html

Thursday, August 18, 2011. I remember around 1995 or so, my friend Brigid. An amazing musician in her own right), told me about a bar in Alphabet City that had a bluegrass night. Well, this was obviously something I had to see. The bar was called 9C, and those of you with a passing familiarity of Manhattan can guess the cross-streets. Every Sunday night, it was Bloody Mary Bluegrass time. From the first time I went, I was in love. We had one true respite. Every Sunday, we had bluegrass night at 9C&#4...

Here Comes a Regular: Mono-Lagering: The Gibson

http://hcarblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/mono-lagering-gibson.html

Thursday, June 2, 2011. Given a gift of free beer coupons from 30 different bars from Brokelyn.com. Mr Rice has decided to visit each one, and record his thoughts. Seriously, Jose. Knock that shit off. But this time I went to the Gibson. Just a bit of eavesdropping explained that there was a book club meeting there. You could completely tell if someone was going to that when they entered the door. They were not bar types. Nobody had a damn clue what to do. Anyway, everything was so "Summer is coming," in...

Here Comes a Regular: Cough cough.

http://hcarblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/cough-cough.html

Tuesday, October 4, 2011. So I fell off the planet for a bit there. Weddings, vacations, school restarting, and a broken wrist all came together to make it pretty difficult to post regularly. I've got some stuff to write up though, so now that I've gotten used to typing with this cast, I hope to get back on track. I missed you. I had an amazing summer and feel great. Dear readers, let us enjoy this brisk entry of autumn with crunchy leaves, gourds galore, and strange times. Posted by Mr. Rice.

Here Comes a Regular: Mono-Lagering: Black Swan

http://hcarblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/mono-lagering-black-swan.html

Monday, July 18, 2011. It felt good to get back to Mono-Lagering. With the freedom a teacher enjoys in the summer, I can visit bars more difficult to get to than the usual Park Slope or Williamsburg affairs. So last week I decided to start exploring Bed-Stuy. The first bar I chose was Black Swan. Right near the G train. It isn't. It might actually be far nerdier than that, as this is the Mono-Lagering where I get serious. But now it's gentrifying time and here come all these young white kids (to be fair,...

Here Comes a Regular: January 2012

http://hcarblog.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 3, 2012. OK, how about this? Well, I may have figured out how to type with a cast on, but I certainly didn't learn how to type well or quickly. So, no, I didn't get back to blogging in October. Or November. Or December . But the warmth of summer has faded and the chill of autumn has turned into Bobby Drake doing something nasty all over my face (sorry for the image, nerds). Well, if you've been reading this blog at all, you know, of course I can (and have been). Posted by Mr. Rice. Astor...
