Blogtown Nostalgists: remember that guy Ezra? Worked here for a couple years or so? Wrote about music and basketball? Something about a pug? Well, his sophomore effort—a Stryper-themed, Rasheed Wallace-themed bar called The Old Gold—dropped this weekend.

If you're still pissed about Ezra's Floater or Dandy Warhols coverage, now's your chance to tell him what you think. I'm looking forward to stopping by The Old Gold is located at 2105 N. Killingsworth, and hours vary enough to justify little yellow pull-quote box:

Sunday: 12pm until 12am
Monday: 4pm until 12am
Tuesday: 4pm until 12am
Wednesday: 4pm until 1am
Thursday: 4pm until 1am
Friday: 4pm until 2am
Saturday: 12pm until 2am

Is that Ezra behind the bar, staring blankly at a computer screen? (And no, that is not the point-of-sale, he is playing World of Warcraft.)

"Little yellow pull-quote box" is not yellow.

Yes, that's me! I thought our POS computer screen was a video poker machine.

I am not sure how you expect me to get my day drink on with such normal bar hours -- would it be frowned on for a future patron to, say, sit outside on the sidewalk and drink 40s while waiting for Old Gold to open?

A beer spilling dragon told me it is a Wizard Bar catering to the World of Warcraft crowd. Or maybe that was World of Whorecraft the dragon was beer spilling drunk on their tasty coffee porter.
