Rolling at Barneys Beanery

YT ain't done yet

Obviously the day can only go down hill from here. So I'm parked here at Barney's Beanery.

Thank god for LA's Metro

Not my fault

So, I stopped by Barney's Beanery in Old Town Pasadena to wait for Wong. Well, Wong never showed up, but he did eventually call and check in - no YT and Wong until tomorrow.

Anyway, so Gary - another barfly in Old Town recently - showed up and kept me company. And Keith, the bartender just made it too hard to leave.

I guess I'll have to wait a few more days for my shoes. I need to get home before 420 and do at least a few more hours of work. OK, at least an hour.

Finding a morning drink in Old Town

Screw driving

Took the train up to Old Town to meet Wong and to buy these cool hemp shoes I saw the other day. Since I arrived early, I thought I'd check out some early morning drinking holes in Pasadena's Old Town.

First stop Barney's Beanery. 7 days a week you can stop here for a drink starting at 7:30AM. Barney's also has a huge menu, so you can grab a little bite to eat if you're into more than just liquid meals.

The french toast is my favorite.

Just around the corner is another great early morning drinking hole, Lucky Baldwins. However, you can't have a screwdriver at Luckys, which specializes in beer. Still, if you want some beer, bangers and mash, and to watch some European soccer league action, Lucky's is the place to be in the wee morning hours.
