Day Seventy: Open for Business

It's almost Thursday in Lawrence, and that means "reload time" for local drinking establishments.
Weekends start a little earlier on Mass Street in this town. As far as many KU upperclassmen are concerned, Thursday is the new Friday...which is why many businesses are sure to restock their shelves on Wednesday. One such watering hole in Lawrence is the Sandbar, the neon green and yellow building in the background.

What it lacks in subtlety it makes up for in class.

Today the tropical-themed hole in the wall had simultaneous visits by both Boulevard and Budweiser brew trucks. In the photo above, barrels of Boulevard's "Wheat" and "Bully Porter" are being rolled out of the truck and into the Sandbar, where later tonight patrons who stroll in will no doubt be having a barrel of fun.

If you happen to stop by Lawrence and you are of-age, and of-thirst, try a Boulevard brew for some local (Kansas City) flavor. Pay the Sandbar a visit around 10 p.m. to get caught in a hurricane - but lay off the beer here: Shark Attacks and Bahama Mamas are always in season.

And if you are a KU student, remember: that 8 a.m. class will still come bright and early Friday morning!
