Gale Street is close to Milwaukee and Lawrence. Then we headed across the street to a Polish bar called Martinis. Buddies Bill and Jeff are pictured with me in my Polish red.
Jeff, Ricardo and Bill taking time to pose. Joe with the beautiful Anna from the bar. Yowza. She bought us birthday shots!
Nice looking bar huh? The bartender isn't too bad either.
Anyway, Martinis had karaoke going which was fine by us because we were watching the basketball games anyway. The odd thing was though, since all of the patrons but us were Polish, they do the karaoke in Polish!! Too funny. The words are all in Polish and most of the songs you haven't even heard of because they are Polish. I don't think I realized how often the letter "Z" is used in Polish words. It's like our T or S.
Jeff asked Anna to name her top three Polish people of all time. The question arose because he said Copernicus was Polish and I called him a lying son-of-a-bitch and it turns out he was right. Anyway, Anna came up with mostly people we hadn't heard of. Our top three? JPII, our buddy Lech, Copernicus and we also wanted to throw in Casimir Pulaski (just because we get the day off in Illinois). Fun was had by all. Mass at 8:30 a.m. came awful early though.

sounds like a good time - but how on earth did you guys get your drunk asses home?
Fortunately I started drinking water for the last hour we were there and was pretty sober by the time we left. Two of the guys took the train and drove one of the other guys home.
