South Carolina 2011 - The Schooners

Like most bars there is a jukebox. And also like most bars people put on crappy bar music. And finally they monopolize it for an hour. But Gary and Kevin didn't care because they came here to dance.

Schooner's isn't a very good bar. But it's our not very good bar. The drinks are cheap, the food is alright and the owners and staff are friendly. That certainly makes up for the lack of everything else. I don't even know why I'm talking shit about it. You can get drunk for under $20 bucks and you know everyone there. Just like Cheers.

The 5-Points area is downtown and we wanted to head back "home" to go to Schooners. Since we were all drunk (seriously just look at us) we took a cab. The cab ride was around 20 minutes so we had time to talk with the cab driver. The conversation is priceless, and I recorded most of it on my phone. Click to listen to it. It's long, but it's so damn good.

Kevin started cackling at Gary because of his dance moves but I was the one laughing hardest because I was watching both of them. They were pretty insane but in a good way. The only way that is to check out the videos on the next few pages. Now watch them when drunk. Awesome. I can hear you laughing from here. Those McKissick boys are a riot especially when they are together. Is that a SuperRiot?

Melissa and James had introduced me to this joint a few years ago and they were excited to show us their home away from home for Packers games. And from what I remember, excited was the word of the night. Kind of like on Pee-Wee's Playhouse. Only with booze and more yelling. We may have been out and around town earlier but the night was just beginning. You never know what you're in for at Schooners.

This picture pretty much sums up what Kevin and I are able to bring into this world - pure unadulterated fun and hilarity. This is such a nice, normal picture "ruined" by our presence in the rear.

Kevin was at the window, pounding a screaming, "Somebody let me in!" That kid may know how to boot scoot and boogie on the floor, but he doesn't know how to use a the nearby door. Nice rhyme.

I'm going to go ahead and give them the award for best dancers of the night. It wasn't difficult to crown them champions because there weren't a whole lot of people slapping the 'crete that night.
