Taco Friday: The Manhattan Project

Taco Friday for Friday, May 7th



WHO COULD BE SO LUCKY, a themed Taco Friday is here this week! A real theme. I didn't even have much fun at "Gorilla Until Proven Human," either. This theme, "The Manhattan Project," celebrates both the classy, classy drink and one of the most monumental feat of engineering which, through its parents - the corpus of scientific knowledge of humanity and three years of intense international efforts - gave birth to the Trinity bomb, a twenty kiloton baby of explosive death which came screaming into our world on 16 July 1945 at the White Sands Proving Ground in New Mexico.

Despite my strong desire I will not require everyone to read The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes; I will still require your very personal efforts, though. Instead of colluding to create an atrocity, you will try your durndest to make the best damned Manhattan possible. Your research team? Classic Manhattan recipes. Your laboratory? All of the traditional ingredients and garnishes, plus maybe some funny ones (GOAT DICKS). There can only be one winner, but there can be many drunk drunk people. The recipe for the best Manhattan will be recorded and dubbed "The Taco Friday Manhattan."

Prizes to anyone who dresses as a scientist; double prizes for anyone who dresses as a particular scientist.

RSVP OR I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE COMING OH GOD I HATE YOU

As a liberal artist, I always fucking hate when the geeks cosplay scientists and I have no idea who they're supposed to be. I guess I will have to spend my free time researching things on the Internet. Thos and I will be in attendance and feeling very out of place due to cocktails that don't involve St. Germain and science.

Can I just wear glasses? Is that science enough? Can we have some sort of baptism where we collectively change our sexual identity to "Taco Friendly"?

Holy balls, "Atomic Cafe" is streaming on Netflix. If you truly want to make this a theme night, short viewings are a must.
