Oh Cannenbaum, oh Cannenbaum ...
For most of us, Christmas is about one thing and one thing only - excessive alcohol consumption in the name of holiday mirth.
Oh Cannenbaum, oh Cannenbaum ...
For most of us, Christmas is about one thing and one thing only — the birth of our Savior excessive drinking in the name of the season. NO mom, it's totally cool that I destroyed a 12-pack and canteen of nog by myself in 45 minutes, I'm just holding it down like Fezziwig, nawmean? NO, I'm not going to let Uncle Jim drive me to the ER to get my stomach pumped, why do you hate fun so much? What we're trying to say here is much love to Percy Street Barbecue (900 South St.) for marrying holiday mirth with unchecked booze consumption in the most direct way possible via their 8-foot-tall "Badass Beer Can Christmas Tree."
Percy GM Aric Ferrell and staffer/artist Desiree Howie spent something like 12 hours drilling the tree's PVC pipe trunk and feeding construction marker flags of varying lengths through the holes, on which they suspended more than 400 empty cans culled from Percy's peerless craft can collection. The end result, which we got to see with our own eyes last night, is shiny and glorious and makes us much thirster than that stupid tall one at Rockefeller Center. Well-done, Percyites.
