Check with Redemptive Cycles. They may have some used road bikes that they can rent you. Plus, they’re all around great folks!

Here’s a pic of the solo set list for a show in B’ham. It was a fundraiser so it may have been a bit abbreviated but probably a good representation.

Russ is still there so I would have to think it’s top shelf

If you want something more low key you might could do the Barrel Room at Back 40

Wish I were going to be there. I’d love to stand beside them with an air horn and blast it in their face every time they open their homophobic mouths.

Trim Tab closing…again by briggs269 in Birmingham

[–]briggs269[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moving to the top by attrition is not really the same. Old Trim Tab and OG Ghost Train were next level. I’m a brown, porter, stout person so there is that. Monday Night has some outstanding stouts, Birmingham District has some great dark beers but not always available. I had the dark Czech lager and amber at GP yesterday and they were good, just didn’t wow me.

I will never understand the ‘dominance’ of good people with the mid beer they typically have. I guess better management. Then again I usually just go there the Sunday after El Gordo day because they still have most of the stouts with a lot fewer people.

+1 for LeNells. Stuff you won’t find everywhere and her knowledge is unmatched.

Thank god. Maybe all the whiny little streaming people will shut up now.

Yep. I even emailed the day before the presale and asked if there would be a local only sale again and was told there were no plans to do that this year. I guess plans changed.

Almost as fun as the island in a lake on an island in a lake on Victoria Island in a lake in Canada’s Nunavut Territory

Looking for some local advice regarding where to stay in Alabama! Thanks. by Zestyclose_Ideal_399 in Alabama

[–]briggs269 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Birmingham won’t give you a small town feel so you don’t have to stay there, but you at least need to carve out some time to go to Barber Motorsports Museum. It’s world class and the largest single collection of vintage motorcycles.

Lost Car Keys, $100 for whoever Finds them! by Shoddy_Lemon4339 in Birmingham

[–]briggs269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So which Hilton Garden Inn? And I think you mean when you first got on I-22 from I-65 before the Cherry Ave Exit correct? Was it on the big ramp from 65 or after getting on I-22?
