Once upon a time, University area bars used to be fun.  What I’m trying to say is that they’re only fun when you’re enrolled in the University.  Otherwise, you just seem like someone who can’t get over their ‘glory’ days and try to move forward with their life.  I went to Picassos in the University area after Alive After 5 last night [yes, I drove back to the University to go to a bar] and it was what I expected.  The ‘usuals’ are always there and it’s like Cheers where “Everybody knows your name.” Don’t get me wrong, some people are into that stuff and that’s why they’re called the ‘usuals,’ but it’s really not my style.  There’s no way to meet someone ‘different’ to have a ‘good time’ with for the night…basically who you come with is who you get.  Although, I gotta give it up to Picassos because there’s always one thing you can count on at a University area bar…great drink specials and karaoke!  They have $5 pitchers of beer and usually a $3 shot special.  On top of that, they have  a sick shuffle board to play, and guys are drawn to it like Amy Winehouse is to…well you know what I’m saying.  Picassos also has flat screen TVs plastered everywhere and a huge projector screen to watch all the games going on for the night…Baseball.  My-all-time-favorite sport was playing on nearly every screen [minus the smeared records from all the steroid controversies but we won't get into that].  Seems I’m just rambling and I should really stop typing and cop a Revive by Vitamin Water. Overall good time at Picassos..not my style, but 1 & 1/2 thumbs up for college students and/or ballers on a budget.

Room. Please. Stop. Spinning.
