My friends make fun of me because I apparently say "this is the best (something) I've ever had in my life" quite often. Well, what can I say? Maybe I'm easily impressed. Or maybe I just happen to really like good things. Welcome to my life.
Most interesting bar I’ve been to in my life.
Why: There was a polka band, a live piano karaoke whose pianist has been playing there for 44 years, the hostess is 83 years old with awesome hair, a cross-dresser was having dinner there and the place has a real genuine vibe - it all feels natural and meant to be.
Where: Nye’s Polonaise - Minnesota, MN
Best custom bike paint scheme I’ve ever seen in my life.
Why: It’s based on the sick Gulf Racing paint scheme from back in the day.
