We rode back shortly after 9 to meet up with Wendy and Willis. As we stepped off the train, a dude asked us if we wanted free drinks, and handed us coupons for <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theoriginalfunbar.com\/\" target=\"x\">Drink, The Original Fun Bar<\/a><\/em>. Though Matt was not thrilled about it, Cindi and I thought we should probably go claim our free cocktails from <em>Drink: The Original Fun Bar<\/em>, despite the fact that it sucks a lot.<\/p>\n<p>No, really. We&#8217;d gone in there one night a year or so ago, just because it was the only bar along First Avenue we hadn&#8217;t been to. We went in, got a shot, used the bathroom, and wanted to tear our hair out with disgust and rage by the time we ran back out, approximately 5 minutes later. I&#8217;m pretty sure if we&#8217;d spent any more time there, we&#8217;d have either gotten herpes or moved to Eden Prairie. Possibly both.<\/p>\n<p>But, you know, exploiting them for free drinks. It seemed like the right thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>So we took our coupons to the guys at the door, and Cindi verified that we could use them. Next thing I know, the bouncer was pointing at my chest. In order to set foot inside <em>Drink: The Original Fun Bar<\/em>, you cannot have visible tattoos. Or at least not above the elbows; my lower arms were OK with them, but not my chestpiece, or Cindi&#8217;s shoulders. Those tattoos are against the dress code at <em>Drink: The Original Fun Bar<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Our minds blown, headed toward O&#8217;Donovans, where you&#8217;re far more likely to see more people with visible tattoos than without. As we crossed the street, another <em>Drink: The Original Fun Bar<\/em> employee tried to pass us free drink cards. When we explained to her why they wouldn&#8217;t let us in, she told Cindi to on a sweater.<\/p>\n<p>What the fuck? You&#8217;d think we were livin&#8217; in Mississippi.<\/p>\n<p>Jenni<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS HAPPENED.
