My New Thing...
My new thing may be getting drunk latenight, then going to the mechanical bull.
Inexplicably, someone opened up a "mechanical bull bar" in the LES. It's called Mason Dixon, and it seems pretty douchey. Thing is, the bar is huge and stumbling distance from home. Also, it features a mechanical bull (for $10 a ride, or included with some drink specials.) I passed it the other day, and it was empty save for a few suitish holiday parties.
My hope is that this bar never becomes hip, and only attracts suits. Seeing Linda from HR, or Hugo "Buddah" Ritzel from IT take a faceplant from the bull is pretty ok by me.
Oh, hey, and they "now have Deerhunter!"
(More High Resolution Photography after the jump...)
Comically, the dude in the upper right hand corner, in the background is this bearded, stringy-haired hipster that man's the bull. See him at the controls? He's pretty serious.
Much care went into this bull. He had realistic horns, that are quite pointy, and red-painted nostrils. I think he has eyes. I saw a girl take one to the dome by the bull's head after she fell off, which I find funny.
I know this photo is self-explanatory, but the bull's pen is covered with black, plastic garbage bags. We thought this might be because of possible Jell-O wrestling matches, but then realized it's in case people puke.
