Week 1: BJ's Week

After spending the weekend flipping coins and throwing darts trying to figure out who would be the best person to start with I came to a novel idea. Why start with a particular person. Throughout my adventures I have been a member of a variety of associations. Be they organizations, schools attended or bars I just frequented. Each of these hold their own plethora of material to be mined. Therefore I figured the first few weeks I should dedicating my time to writing about these. First off because many of the people who are to have their own weeks dedicated to them in the future are people I know through these conduits. Secondly because there are a lot of stories I know through these and they wouldn't have a proper place to deposit them without these catch all weeks.

With that in mind our first week will be dedicated to stories I have from a bar I affectionately know as BJ's (not due to the frequency of bathroom hummers, but due to their initials, and please don't think I just brought up bathroom hummers for no reason, stay tuned later in the week for stories about them that don't involve me because while I am a big fan of the drink I do have some semblance of decency.) This bar kind of trades on being identified as a "dive" although it's about as far from one as a bar that pretends to be a dive can get. Also, while this bar has several locations throughout the city, almost all of these stories take place at their location north of 86th Street.

Enjoy a week of stories that will have me wiping my brow that none of the people involved have enough esteem for me that they would suspect I am writing about them in code.
