The Universal Language of Bob's Bar


I don't know this fellow, might never see him again, but he proved my theory correct - People know Bob's Bar.
I wanted to see if anyone would notice the shirt commemorating the 93 beers I finished between Spring 2006 and Winter 2007. I couldn't be the only Bonnaroo attendee with a love for the overhopped ales poured at Bob's.

Midway through Saturday afternoon, I departed B.B. King for Levon Helm and Iron & Wine when amid the shops and food vendors ... I heard someone yell out for Bob's Bar. This guy flagged me down and insisted I come with him for a picture ... I insisted on one in return.

Sunday morning, before I traded in this salt-crusted filthy thing, another pack of Columbusites gave me a big "Hey! Bob's Bar! In Columbus, right?" It was the perfect conversation starter for fleeting Bonnaroo friends.

"Cultural Hub of the Midwest" indeed ... maybe it's time Jim and the Bob's boys extend that to include the Mid-South as well.
