You don’t need to pretend its 1995 if you are to futuristic to ask for the wifi password.

Have you heard that new smash mouth band yet I think they're going to be pretty big.

Wait I like this. A bar where you can experience cultural moments as though they are happening live. June 17th is OJ simpson freeway chase day, pick a day in november for the exploding oregon whale. Live history
