This Guy Can Really Brew
The story on homebrewers in the latest Current profiles a local brewer known as Bob “The Brewer” Barnett. Puts us in mind of the time on “Buffy” when Willow was watching a basketball game: “That guy can really jump! They should call him…the Jumper!”
Seems like every town has a Current doesn’t it? And a newspaper, and a Observer, and &C.. Which puts me in mind of: This AAIO has quite a potential for a franchise. I can see a “”your town” is overrated.com” everywhere. You could try it out on Hyde Park while you are there. Your cultural commentary shouldn’t be limited to Ann Arbor alone.

I’m paying much less for a much nicer apartment, the area is beautiful, I have no trouble finding parking and I probably won’t even be able to visit every campus coffeehouse in the time I’m here. If you think this blog is boring, HPIO would be a thousand times worse. I’m not aware of any U.S. city that comes close to A2 in overratedness, except for possibly Santa Fe.

(As an aside, that article was edited to shit. None of those stupid fucking parentheticals were in there when I wrote it…)
Man, you were right. That article flows about as well as molasses in winter. On Antarctica.
