Ernie had a full day of excitement in Franklin, Tennessee today.
He showed Uncle Sam how clean he likes to get. Sam was nice enough to wear his Star Wars shirt today to help me grieve the end of my adventure.
Disney is savage. They've already dismantled the Galactic Starcruiser website!
I added a Starcruiser watch face to my Apple Watch. It's the little things that help me hang on.
I was very excited to visit Prince's Hot Chicken Shack South. I thought it was too clean/corporate in here though. The Prince's we went to in 2016 was so beautifully run down and dirty.
Southern Grist Brewing Co. is my kind of brewery. I want those weird flavors and ingredients I've never heard of. How many friggin' IPAs does one person need before they walk out a window?
I picked a sampler platter and got real weird with it:
Liquid Karma
Imperial sour ale w/ lactose and rainbow sour candy belts
Georgia Dreamin'
Unfiltered American lager with peaches. Made exclusively for Ben Chapman's Peach Jam
Cinnadust
Brown ale with lactose, vanilla bean, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Practical Substitutes
Oated New England IPA with motueka, huell melon and strata
Back at the house Ernie got to use Uncle Sam's former high chair as a special treat.
After googling "what to do with one's life now that Starcruiser is closed" I found a couple of good ideas. I feel like Starcruiser may be my entry into a subculture. For example this article is mentioning New York's "Sleep No More" as an influence. That is a "participatory theater" show that is still running. Very interesting...
I saw Meow Wolf's offerings mentioned in the same breath as well. I had a great time at the Omega Mart installation in Las Vegas. This was an epiphany for me that so many of the things that I enjoy actually have a common thread running through them. It may even explain why I occasionally dress as a British school boy.
