Hardboiled in Lawrenceville
So the three of us wanted to visit some bars in Lawrenceville, some bars that we had never been to before.
I'm not really sure what one should expect from a bar when a sign on the door advertises the following: Hardboiled Eggs are Back! 3 for $1. We didn't see the sign until we left the bar after one drink. The crowd seemed quite angry that we had decided to have a drink at this fine establishment. The DJ in the corner was spinning some hip-hop while he played video slot machines. I doubt he could have named any of the songs that he played. He looked like he preferred Ratt rather than Jay-Z.
After leaving the angry bar we moved on to a bar that was featuring Saturday night karaoke. Damn was it loud and obnoxious. A wall of "celebrities" was featured next to the taps. One of the celebs appeared to be Sam Kinison. Not quite. It was a Sam Kinison impersonator who goes by the name "Screamin' Sammy." The highlight of the karaoke had to be someone's attempt at "Devil Went Down to Georgia." It eventually dissolved into a chant of "Here we go Steelers!"
It was the best night of my life.
