At Mo's it's about change
Mo's Grill . . .

This is where the Libertarian Party is supposed to be toasting their tragic heros. I'm hoping to see SUPERDELL Schanze, their whacked out candidate for governor who ran on the platform that he was the "only Christian" in the race and Jon Huntsman is an anti-Christ.

A small band is playing for about a dozen patrons. I ask a couple guys if they've seen the Libertarians. They have no idea what I'm talking about.

"The Libertarians are supposed to be here for a post election party," I explain.

Chris Griffis, a wisenheimer, says:
Libertarians? This is mostly a straight bar.
I tell him it's the best quote I've gotten all night and ask what he's celebrating. He lifts his beer and says:
Regime change.

Glen, that was the weekly open mike night you walked in on at Mo's. After you left, I noticed one guy with a Libertarian sign draped around his neck. I'm surprised more "libertarians" didn't show up, they seem to love their singer/songwriters. It's too bad, one guy doesn't make a party.

Mo's is actually not "mostly a straight bar". Rather, it's mostly a gay bar, a sports bar for ladies.

Still funny Chris.
