Had a great time last night at Tommy's in Spring Grove, right on historical US-12, the Iron Brigade Highway (named for the famed Civil War unit).
Talked with buddies Randy, Bob and Kenny and our neighbor kept the cold drinks a'coming in her role as bartender.
As could be expected, the place was at standing room only and loud with lots of cheering, groaning, and "Chelsea Dagger" singing. There was not a space to be found in the big parking lot so I'm sure the good folks at Billy's restaurant weren't too happy.
Blackhawk-mania has taken hold and a lot of people there were sporting team jerseys. I especially liked the Bobby Hull one. Plus, the game was only being shown on a station called Versus which most people (including us) don't get. Good incentive to go out to see it. I think that hockey is making a mistake by not arranging to have one of the major networks carry it, at least in Philadelphia and Chicago.
Then, there were the $1 Miller/Coors products that they have every Wednesday and some really fine pizza, broasted chicken ($5.99 for a four-piece dinner) and those melt-in-your mouth beer nuggets.
Too bad the Hawks lost in overtime. But, it was an exciting game.
We listened to overtime at home as I was getting psyched out about the mile drive home. The cops also knew about the $1 beer and game. So I opted to leave at the end of regulation.
It's hard enough to follow the game on TV, but REALLY hard on the radio.
Go Hawks!! --RoadDog
I Wonder: Why are you in a movie but on TV?
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
