Four Inns Restaurant

  This was the final day the Four Inns restaurant was open in downtown St. Paul. I went there and had a roast beef sandwich with some chips as well as tea. I got some photos while there. One server said to a patron as they were being seated was that half of the building was empty, explaining a little why the restaurant had decided to close. There was also a potluck in the main break-room at my office, I liked the meatballs in a crock pot as well as the potato salad. In the 4 inns menu I noticed names like bailiff and warden under rules of order, as well as judge and barrister under the classic sandwiches. The Judge sounded like a Reuben, barrister is a triple decker. Chicken strips was bailiff and roast beef was warden. In the evening I heard ELO and Blondie songs in stores.
   After the show at the comedy club I spoke with one comic I hadn't seen much lately. I am still trying to understand 'The rules of the game' related to comedy, and I learned some from it. I also spoke with somebody who knew about comedy venues in a city I want to visit this summer, and I was reminded about the hierarchy of needs.
    International Falls did ones about casual sex, a Goth outfit, a roommate, dishwasher, and fascist dictator. Long straw did ones about being from from Beloit, 5 years of Scan-Tron tests, dark future, Casey's Stores, a reference to the movie Deliverance, and Carly Rae Jepsen. Rapper did ones about a gas station, doctor appointment, and suspended for rapping. Fever comic did ones about back hair model, cults, and flashlight. Laundry did ones about used hot dogs, dog whistles, and calligraphy. Chalm-Skinn did ones about darts in bar, mediocre life, and one percent. Mr. Pibb did ones about Vaseline, lyric comparisons between Led Zeppelin and Nicki Minaj, Teddy Roosevelt, snowflakes, sex and Ford Focus, C3PO, 3 am by Matchbox 20, and Woody Allen.
    Ukulele did ones about GPS settings, haters and intervention, buying a fedora, mouth acne, and a song called there are hands. Postage stamp did ones about call the whole thing off, Green Acres, evolution is boring, and Toy Story. Ragu did ones about red shirt at Target, girl at party, leaf blower, quiet stoner, and Allman Brothers. Bus fare did ones about cat food and cat litter, condoms, Ja-Rule, eggs in basket, Italian clown, dirty Mark Twain, 9/11 tribute, and Hero song. Stillwater did ones about energy drink explosion, weekend brunch, no French toast, breakfast soup, Columbus ships, and backpack. Duffel bag did one about afraid of bees. Soap opera did ones about wear a tie, watching One Life To Live, text message replies, and ex therapists.
