We should all find a sleazy dive tonight and drink a couple down for the ol' Buck.
And imagine you are sitting here watching a crazy drunken Indian lady kicking everybody's ass at pool. Except you don't really respect her because she uses the bridge thingy. But you do respect the fact that she could drink you under the table and wouldn't hesitate to vomit on your passed out body. She doesn't have to worry about the gastric acid rotting away her teeth. Oh yeah, and there are a bunch of coked out freaks and The Penguin.
Word on the street is they're looking for a new locale.
ReplyDeleteA few months ago a friend of mine wanted me to meet up with him at "The Buckaroo." I was down. I told him I'd be in Fremont soon-like. He said, "No, no, it's in Belltown."
Turns out he wanted to meet at Bandits. NOT THE FUCKING SAME.
think I'll save my energy until I can get over to Seattle, get all bucked up in the park 'cross the street and throw a brick thru Lars and Nils new Discotech.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, the place opened in 1938.
ReplyDeleteThe parents of my good friend, Peeboy, met over a coke deal in the back.
I lived in 4 houses within in some blocks of the buck, 3 houses within 1 block.
Fuck you Lars. Fuck you Nils. Watch for my brick.
It's official. We'll have to roo-a-buck on October 1st ... if it's not too late, that is. PS. Who is the fine-specimen-indeed? PPS. Bandits? Sounds like an Ann Vu party. PPPS. It's not Lars'z and Nils'z fault. I blame Andre. And God, of course.
ReplyDeleteIts a huuuuge bitch!
ReplyDeleteReally, She's like 6'5". She plays for Seattle's very own WNBA Champs! So there is a silver lining guys.
Also, It's hard to blame Andre. He was just upset he couldn't spend more time on his music career. I'm sure it blossomed after he left the Buck. I heard he puts a piece of bubble gum in the packaging and hands out cds to all the kids at the park.

ReplyDeleteOctober 1st is too late, the last night of the Buckeroo was last night. Joel, Angela and I tried to swing by for one last beer but that place was busier than I have ever seen it. At least 100 or so folks spilling into the street and no room inside the bar. If mother fuckers had been drinking there like that prior to the fair-weather fest I saw last night, the place wouldn't have had to close its doors.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, I don't think the nihilists that own the building are to blame. The old lady that took over after her husband died (right about the same time the penguin stopped bar tending there) basically ran the place into the ground according to what I have heard. The guys who are changing the space offered to buy the Buck and keep the bar intact but the old bag asked for some outlandish amount of money and they couldn't pull it off. Also she couldn't afford the rent on the place and was seriously behind on her lease.
So whatever, I'm down to chuck a brick for old time's or destruction's sake, I just don't think all the blame falls on the fucko's opening whatever monstrosity is being opened there in the future. The old crowd at the Buck was gone a long time before this and Fremont has been fucked for even longer.
Joel, Angela and I ended up at Sulley's which is still awesome and isn't going anywhere.
The Buckeroo is dead. Long live the Buckeroo.
