Part two: Gunther goes to more bars!


After Zenos, Gunther went to the Dark Horse to get some food. Gunther had the Dark Horse Burger (burger, bacon and cheese) and a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Gunther got bad indigestion from burger, thinks it was made from ground squirrel and not moo-cow. In this photo, Gunther is trying to convince nice bar tender lady to let Gunther drink from the Guinness tap he is standing in front of. Bartender lady asked Gunther to keep his paws off the tap...

While Gunther waited for his food, he decided to go ouside and try and drum up more business for the bar. While outside, someone tried to get Gunther to smoke a cigar. Gunther did not like cigar, and did not want to smoke it. Cigar man was gong to another bar anyway, and didn't want to go to the Dark Horse...

While waiting for food, Gunther and Gail went foraging for the next bar to visit. We went to the Shandygaff and Gunther got to work behind the bar briefly...


After the Gaff, Gunther and Gail went to the Rathskeller where Gunther made friends with the guy playing guitar. Gunther asked him if he knew any bear songs he could sing, but guitar man coudn't think of any. Gunther decided to sing "The bear went over the mountain" to the crowd, but could only remember 2 lines to the song. Gunther felt embearassed and apologized to the audience: "Gunther is sorry he doesn't know the words, but Gunther has a tiny, tiny brain"...

The last stop for the evening was The Crowbar, where one of Gunther's favorite bands was playing: "Side Show Bob" After Gunther got his ID checked, Gunther offered to check the ID of the next couple of people in line (Gunther tries to help in whatever way he can). Gunther checked this person's ID and found out she was from Colorado, Gunther was hoping she was from Montana, "the Grizzly State", home of the Freemen, home of The Uni-bomber, and land of excessive speed limits...

Gunther went upstairs and tried to tend bar (being the helpful Gunther that I am) but Gunther forgot to ask the manager if it was ok, so Gunther ran into some problems shortly thereafter...

Gunther was taken by suprise by one of the Crowbar bouncers and was nearly tossed over the bar. But Gunther made a deal with the manager, bartenders and bouncers, so they let him stay...

While making the rounds, Gunther ran into some dudes playing pool, they wanted their picture taken with the Gunther, so here it is...


After saying hi to the dudes, Gunther noticed this sign behind the pool table. Everyone knows bears love salmon, so Gunther decided to wait around for some leftover salmon. Alas, there was no salmon to be found, and Gunther had to forage elsewhere...

While out foraging, Gunther managed to roust up some babes for a dance or two. Bears like dancing with She-Bears, it sure beats dancing by yourself...

Gunther was giving Gail a ride around the dance floor. Gunther must note however, this puts Gunther in a very vulnerable positon, and other people can take advantage of Gunther from behind, while he is not looking...

Gunther talked to the band between sets and asked them if they knew any songs with bear in them. Bump replied: "all our songs have bear in them" and he wasn't kidding. From that point on, all their songs did have bear in them. Gunther was so happy, he jumped up on stage and shook his bootie for the whole bar. The bands next 2 sets all had "bear songs" in them. Gunther was very very happy...

Gunther was very very tired, because he has been dancing since 11:30PM and it was now 2:00AM. Gunther thanked the band and the Crowbar staff and shuffled on home. On his way home, Gunther and Gail stopped by Ye Olde College Diner to say hi to Adam, who after meeting Gunther, confessed he owned a pooh bear costume. After the Diner, Gunther walked Gail back to her car and bid her a fond farewell. It was way past Gunther's bed time and he was one tired bear. Plus, when Gunther doesn't get enough sleep, he becomes one heck of a cranky bear.
