The Uptown Bar closed a couple of days ago. The Current took the time to put together a short documentary of people talking about their memories of the bar.
I have dozens of pint glasses from the place, and accidentally innumerable free glasses behind.
I lived at 33rd and Fremont – just a few blocks away – for five years, and I hit the Uptown often. Back in the smoking era, the place reeked. The food was uniform and uniformly bad. The bloody marys, however, were excellent. It makes me feel old to see the place go.
*Fashion: Whoa. Sonic Fabric Neckties. Ties made from 50% polyester thread and 50% cassette tape. That you can listen to. WHAT? [ohgizmo]
*Language: All Sorts has a collection of collective nouns, including “a fixie of hipsters,” which I could have sworn was an old neologism.
*Books: Who are the 10 best rats in literature? I agree with the Orwell and Camus, of course, but no rats of NIMH? Also, there was a dead rat in the basement of our building the other day. I didn’t go look at it. [shorties]
*Games: You can now play Rock Band on your iPhone. You could also technically create a robot to play Rock Band on your iPhone. Like this guy did. Not very sporting. [neural]
*Consumerism: Matches are everywhere. “In remote rural communities, where television, radio or even street names are almost non-existent, relaying information is a pressing issue. Matchboxes may contain the solution.” [marginal revolution]
*Booze: They make whisky flavored condoms. I’m drinking an old-fashioned right now! Actually, those two things have nothing to do with each other. At all. [buzzfeed]
*Things: If you’re marvelously pithy, you can enter this Significant Objects contest, wherein you need to right a story of a thing in 6 words or fewer.
*Twitter: Read these four things.
*Today’s grade: F.
