5chw4r7z:: the ethos of downtown Cincinnati

they can deny it all they want

stick their fingers in their ears a scream LA-LA-LA-LA-LA-LA when someone says it.
but it doesn't change the fact we've all heard of Google and aren't afraid to use it on our network aware smart phones.
Yellow book needs to adapt and adjust because this is a dead end.
A pile of books outside a dorm that's been empty for nine months, and will be empty for nine more due to renovations is a losing proposition.

This happens every year downtown also, a pile of unrequested phone books show up, one or two disappear while the rest swell from moisture, unusable, until someone, the city? the management? hauls them away.[where: 45202]

burgerquest

Do you wonder could that be a game, or a mountain to be scaled? YES, yes it is.
A truck to be chased and I finally had a day off to do it and would not be stopped.
I was on a mission to get a burger from Cafe de Wheels.
its cold
No, its not that cold
they only take cash you know
I hit the cash machine, I'm flush
I'm not eating it outside
Yeah well we'll figure something out I'm sure, and with that last bit 'O Barney she caved.
Little did she know later on she'd be eating it Outside

Just like mana from heaven, fresh cooked hamburgers appear from the side of a truck.

OH OH OH, is this one of the best burgers I've ever eaten. From a truck? It could be.
Steaming hot, moist, with the exact right mouth feel that had my head spinning.

With that done and a very content stomach we continued on to Outside and checked out what Terry had going on. And whats going on is a winter sale, some really good deals on planters that we are taking advantage of.
And these super cool new terrariums, and some wood burners.

Jim Tarbell you wild, beautiful thing. you crazy handful of nothin'

And to think I almost wimped out and stayed home, I would have never forgiven myself. It was getting late, I was drinking comfortably on the couch, you know the drill.
Everyone is tweeting from Arnolds.
Its awesome

yeEah, thinking I'm staying planted rright here.
But then, Ms. 5chw4r7rz comes chugging down the steps with a full head of steam, come'om we're going.
So, go we did, and what a great time it was, part Myntup from Friday and part broomball.(the friends that is, not Arnold's)

VEE OH ELL VEE OH, o o o, VEE OH ELL VEE OH, my Volvo girl

Jake Speed singing about Cincinnati, and up walks the personification of Cincinnati, Jim Tarbell.
God, I'm getting goosebumps just blogging about it.

the same day all over again

the Kings and Queens of Cincinnati kept it closer this game but were robbed on a few goals. They're getting there, I predict next game they win, they were all over the ice and the ball last night, actually getting into the same frame as the ball in most of the pictures this week.
Step up a hair more and you got it guys!

As Chris Berman on Sports Center would say "WHOOP!"

Ronnie was all over the ice, as were almost everyone else.

Mascot Broomball on Fountain Square

Always one of the more popular events on Fountain Square, the weather was perfect, a cool 40 degrees no frozen toes or fingers, just rosy cheeks and a thousand smiling kids with looks of amazement. It was almost worth going to see how much fun they were having. People were packed 3 or 4 deep around the whole rink.
The mascot broomball rules are juuuust a little more liberal than the normal rules.
Fan favorite? If you didn't guess the Chick-fil-A Cow, you guessed wrong.

sturm und drang

Originaly setup to finally meet a couple downtowners I've been stalking, half of them ended up alienated when Mynt was selected as the starting point of the downtown tweetup. I thought Tonic and Local 127 caused a shitstorm of drama downtown but its been nothing compared with the reaction to Mynt. Ok I half get and half don't get it. Just another bar downtown for me to abandon 11ish when the music cranks up and the posers show up. I love the space, the drinks, eh, OK, I stick to beer most the time anyhow. It all boils down to who you're with is how I feel and we all had a blast.
You just know, any party that begins under the watchful eye of the lady in the fountain is going to be a good party.
