I only heard about Footsies from a girl on okcupid.com. I've always roamed the Highland park neighborhood and I had seriously overlooked this place. I took the Red line to the Gold line and got off at the Lincoln/Cypress station.

| Eagle Rock Imperial IPA, double the hops. |
My expectations were that this was just going to be a paisa bar. Since it was so close to Broadway, where there are a bunch of paisa bars. Gladly, I was proven wrong because they had a good selection of craft beers. Some guy from the bar says, "Don't I recognize your? You were at the Verdugo, right?" I didn't recognize him, until I remembered he was one of the guys Lisette was chatting up at the Verdugo. Rene and I talked about the bars in the area and how the bar culture has really flourished as the Highland Park, Frogtown,and Eagle Rock area became more gentrified. Rene works in Compton doing sales for some auto parts place, he came here on his scooter.

| Allagash black stout, aged in bourbon barrels very sweet, yet malty. |
Some guy with crutches showed me his video of him at the beach jumping off a rock and crushing his heels on the sand. I got talking to Raymundo he talked about how he went to an all boys catholic school. He said it was self imposed because he realized he was such a rotten kid. The catholic school he went to was Don Bosco.

| An old standard, Yeti. |
Don Bosco had this reciprocity agreement with Immaculate Heart where they would allow the sexes to mingle and get to know each other. This blew my mind because I thought the priests had mutually exclusive rights on all the boys at their school and all the nuns had mutually exclusive rights to the girls at their school.

| Pork cutlet with egg over rice, koika, ocha, and a large sapporo beer. |
I decided to sober up at Suehiro's, well not really because I was having a large Sapporo.
