Bye, Bye King's X

Bye, Bye King's X

I moved to El Lay and look what happened to my favorite bar in Oakland.

Yup... The legendary King's X will be sold and likely succeeded &mdash not replaced, but merely succeeded — by something lame.

So let me get this straight...

  1. When I go home for the holidays, I'm not going to recognize the house that I'm going to be celebrating at because my parents (however wisely) sold the home I grew up in and are moving about an hour northeast. In fact, I'll need directions.
  2. My top choice for a bar to hang out in — the one with the best jukebox by far — as I lament point number-one while in the company of friends will be gone.
Well... As I've always told my friends, "As long as we're here, it doesn't matter where 'here' is."

Still sucks to lose King's X, though.
