Seeing that I was meeting a date here, I chose to not take a bite of his onion loaded sandwich, and instead had some peanuts while sipping my vodka tonic. The front bar is your traditional wood grained bar, complete with the regulars sitting in their particular stools, yet even they were friendly and welcoming, with one offering me a bite of his sandwich he got from down the street. Post work happy hour consisted of the bartender, a 50 something year old DJ working the multiple IPOD machine throwing back tunes of the 80's (Did they just play Sade?) and as soon as I sat down, they offered me a nice bowl of peanuts. Red cellophane on the windows, and the bar being a freaking flight of stairs up on the second floor of the building (warning.those things are a bitch if you had too much to drink!), they really made the place look nice. Granted, walking in the door, I felt as if I had been transported back to the late 60's when gay bars were illegal. Yet, when you knock on his door, you are incredibly surprised to see just how nice his apartment is, not the mention that he is really hot.ĭo you remember that moment? neither, but that's exactly what it's like walking into Uncle Charlie's bar. Let the good times roll?įirst up, the sin that doth plague us all?anonymous gay Craigslist booty calls! You remember the last time you cruised Craigslist for sex? You finally agree to go to the guy's apartment, hop in a cab, get to his building and looking at the outside you start getting your regrets? You buzz the buzzer, and walking into the building, the only thought passing through your head is, "What a freaking dump! This guy must be a total loser!" I'm going to hell, huh? Anywho!

But how much do I love the idea that if I just feel really bad all day, say some prayers and starve myself for twenty-four hours, all the stupid shit I've done all year will be absolved.

Personally I'm not religious at all (as will be blatantly obvious when you read the next sentence I'm about to write – heh). Woot woot! Being the Day of Atonement and all, today we're honoring our brethren of the Hebrew persuasion, and instead of looking to Yelp for places where we can stuff our fat faces all day, today we're looking at examples of repentance and forgiveness. Her intrepid Yelp-surfing, and words, follow: From the people who brought you The Week in Craig, one of the all time great uses of the internet, comes The Week in Yelp, wherein Amy Blair takes aim at the ridiculousness that is the world of Yelp.
