Vending Machine Beer

Posted: March 4th, 2007 | Author: | Filed under: travel | 3 Comments »

The Bon Savants show last night was great. I’d highly recommend going to see them if they are playing a show in your town.

Today, I am traveling to Arkansas for my next project. There are no good direct flights there, so I will be going through Dallas on American Airlines.

While I was in Belgium, Tracey insisted on doing a photo documentary of me drinking beer out of a vending machine. Yes, you read that correctly…there are no open container laws, and it is perfectly ordinary to pick up a cold brew in the middle of the day.

So here I am in front of the vending machine. I decide to go for a Jupiler (the only beer in there). Jupiler is very similar to Budweiser, in my non-beer-expert opinion.

I believe the beer was about 2 euros. It came out ice-cold, and it was very refreshing. I drank the rest of it on the SCNF train back to Paris. Noone was arrested, I didn’t turn into an alcoholic, and I didn’t suddenly find myself roasting in Hell.

    Ahh, darn it! I should have given Tracey some credit for taking all these photographs. Hooray for Tracey!
