Russian Standard Vodka from St. Petersburg, Russia. Woof. According to the guy at the liquor store we are only the third bar to carry this brand in Cleveland. That will change once word gets out. FWIW it’s getting raves here so far.

Congratulations to Literary Cafe patron and writer Neve Black for being recently interviewed at the largest on-line erotic resource called The Erotic Readers and Writers Association. Not that she couldn’t have done it on her own but we like to think we at least helped a little bit. You go girl.

The broken pieces that were once the microphone are now mounted inside a shadowbox and on display at the end of the bar just below our mellow No Smoking photograph by Steve Mastroianni.
The mic got smashed up with a sledgehammer at the end of the last reading (12/10/09) as a concrete gesture (if you will) that that’s the end of that y’all.
Oh and now for a bonus sentence or two. The Polaroid to the right of the shadowbox is a shot of Tim Herron looking at the floor of the back room. It was taken by Tim (not Herron) a few years ago. Tim (not Herron) left the camera and some packs of film or whatever you call Polaroid imaging stuff in the bar either as a goodwill gesture or he just wanted to dump antiquated bric-brac on us, or both.
To my credit I asked begged people to take the Polaroid Camera for about a year before tossing it into a plastic garbage bag.

Even if you were squinting your eyes pretending you were on vacation (in a probably, hot and sunny place where saying the word bingo could possibly get you escorted to a 70’s themed, not-gay basement meth-lab poker party), the fun that was bingo at the Literary Cafe opened your squinty eyes, brought you back, and you liked it.
We fell in love with bingo in snowy Tremont all over again last night because of all of you who made it a success;
Cathy, the lovely and talented MC who called 5’s of games herself including a stellar round of FUCKING B_ _ _O. Nick, the matter of fact man who pronounced the numbers in English. Jerry, called a game in THE ALWAYS POPULAR PIG LATIN!! Sally, called a game in the German language while sitting in the guest chair at the table with the MC. Holly did a totally awesome A-HA calling. Neve, did Boner Bingo while some guy was moaning in the background. Joe warmed the Russian winter. And finally Thomas did a convincing Spanish game.
At midnight we packed up the booze, turned off the music and served only water pretending we were at an airport waiting out a 3 hour layover until 3 or four smokers broke their night long fast, left the room swearing under their breath and lit up amidst the snow drifts in the back yard. Not.
