NO HANGOVER HOLIDAY THIS TIME AROUND...As we roll into "Hump Day", I can't help but to notice that while the 4th of July has come and gone, we haven't experienced the usual "holiday hangover" that comes with a long holiday weekend; one where the bar scene is typically dead for the next week until everyone's wallet and sanity is restored. Instead we've had two vibrant nights in a row. Not record setting nights, mind you- but definitely better than expected, which is fine by me.
What I've also noticed is a lot of new faces. Not just the typical fresh-faced interns either. New faces of those who recently moved into the neighborhood and stumbled onto our little section of the world. That's always encouraging.
Speaking of the interns, one thing I've noticed in the last couple of weeks is the new type of patron: the INTERN-HUNTER. What is the "INTERN-HUNTER"? He's usually someone who's in his mid/upper 20's, maybe even early 30's; usually white-collar type of fellow who comes in for a dual purpose: cheap drinks and prey on young, impressionable femmes. Often times the "INTERN-HUNTER" is someone who works in the same company and takes out the interns under the guise of "looking cool and looking out for the young'uns". The HUNTER looks cool by buying rounds and rounds of dollar drafts and putting them on his "tab", thus giving the illusion of being a big deal (and hoping to impress the young girls in the process).
Sometimes the INTERN-HUNTER will come in under the guise of the worldly traveller or bohemian-chic hipster. Impress the girls with stories of his travels or blind them with trendy styles. Either way, his goal is a simple one: Hook up with an Intern. Why? Because he knows that chances are that they are from out of town and they will soon go home. Easy score with minimal effort and little to no commitment. Shady as hell but it seems to work for them. Creepy.
Tonight is another edition of Wednesday Night Pub Trivia with yet another mystery theme. It's free to play and cool prizes to win. Team registration (up to six members) starts at 7pm, and the good times roll at around 8. As always, we recommend that you get there early to score a good spot as the place tends to fill up quickly. Don't forget about the "Hump Day" drink specials ($4.00 mixed well drinks for ladies, Miller High Life buckets-5/$15)!
That's all I got. See you tonight.

That's exactly what I want to be when I grow up, an Intern Hunter! I think, with my talent and skill set, I'd excell at that position! What does it pay?
B to the...
brilliant social commentary. you could call it the iHunt.
why do you end it as creepy? WTF is that not what you may do in a bar?
Because when you got some doofy-wannabe lothario hovering over you, waiting to pounce, it's creepy, no matter how you paint it, sport.
Creepy huh? I for one only go to bars to pick-up women. I thought that was the purpose of local speakeasies, maybe I am creepy and don't know it.

maybe... :)
It's creepy when your sole purpose is to swoop in on naive young defenseless interns who's young enough to be your baby sister.
