Riding on the Trader Todd's Tiki Bus

Apropos of nothing, and extremely late (these are from April 18), here are pictures from a ride I took on the Trader Todd's Tiki Bus. Due to a compromise based on location of homes and the Cubs/Cardinals game, Hannah and I ended up at Trader Todd's to meet Ryan Keller, Tom, Ryan's wife Laura and their buddy whose name I can't recall (but he was cool). This bar is tiki themed, which means they have a sailboat in the back patio and island themed drinks. They also have a giant pink bus (which used to have a grass skirt) that runs shuttle-style from the bar to Wrigley and back in a loop. Inside is a TV playing, at quite high volume that can't be lowered, a collection of songs culled from Jimmy Buffet's recent Wrigley Field show. The driver has a microphone/loud-speaker setup so he can yell things at people on the street. We had the good fortune of knowing the driver, Dylan, who is one of the funniest people I know. It was a great way to spend an afternoon.




It also features a recliner that Tom's enjoying here...





Also, to settle any comments that may mention it, Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds never actually owned the place, but was just the owner/spokesperson for the Trader Todd's Beer and is friends with the owners of the bar itself. This is, according to Dylan, the most common misconception about the establishment.
