ENJOY THIS GORGEOUS WEATHER WHETHER YOU WEATHER HITHER OR TETHER FOREVER AND EVER IN SWEATERS OF PLEATHER OR FIDDLES FOR MEASURE. John VERNON Forbes shall be twiddling the knobs AS WAS PROPHESIED. Mr. King will scrub your back if you ask nicely. The trivia never ends but the game begins at 730. DON'T RUIN IT FOR EVERYBODY!

IBW LODGE #1 opens at NOON TODAY with an AI-generated J behind the bar. See if you can tell the difference!!! (always check the hands, maaaan...) Our new AI bartenders are just like the real thing but actually know math and can lie far better. You're in good hands, trust me. 8 fingered hands to hold you. ROBOT JASON MADE CHICKEN TINGA... he tried explaining that to me, but I couldn't stop making chicken dick jokes long enough to absorb the information. So just go to the Lodge, DON'T LOOK ANYBODY IN THE EYE!!! order your damn beer, and dine on CHICKEN TINGA. This years MOCKTURTLE NECKS is on tap also, no matter what anybody says.

Heavy FATHER YOD vibes here tonight! Come on by, drink beer, high-five and Star Pose the night away!

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 6TH is our 4/10 Year Anniversary party!! Starting right away we'll have on-site tattooing of select flash art. This is first come/first served so cue up! The DUNK TANK will be back in all of its questionable glory. Get rid of some aggression and possibly win a prize. It's like life, but more fun! There will be food for you to apply to your face and intrigue your digestive system! We'll have all of our delicious current draft pours (OS, Watermelon Gun, JR, Cherry Brainwash, etc) PLUS a couple few very special pours for you wood-aged creeps. And then, when the sun goes down and the werewolves stretch their furry little legs, we're going to have the show to end all shows: TIJUANA HERCULES, NONAGON & SHARILLA. For you hardcore IBW nerds, this line-up almost nearly matches the line-up from our very first party at the Garage back in 2015. Sure, everyone's a little bit older and the brain damage is a little more acute, but if you squint your eyes and hold your nose it might could seem like you were TRAVELING BACK IN TIME to a more simple and way more wonderful time. Who knows, make a wish to fix the past and it might even come true! And, of course, the RULE stands... wear a costume and be treated like royalty. Come dressed like a civilian and get side-glance judged all night! Or, a more constructive way to put it is: WEAR A COSTUME, IT MAKES YOUR LIVING FUN. This is SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 6TH at IBW LODGE #1.

It's TUESDAY, so yes - YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES - there is Tuesday Trivia tonight. We thought long and hard before we named it Tuesday Trivia Night. We thought it might solve a couple things in one swift move. We thought it might make a couple things a little easier. Don't prove us wrong. Prove us wright.

PLEASE REMEMBER tomorrow morning at 11am we've got Yoga & a Sound Bath with Jillian from @oracleandalchemychicago . If you'd be so kind as to rsvp info@ibw-chicago.com and let me know you're coming we'll make sure to secure you a space. And then, after the yoga, you can sit around here for 8 hours and drink in preparation for the FREE LIVE SHOW at 9pm. Ok? Ok.
