Raccoon Lodge

Resident Evil: Extinction was a life-changing experience for me. Okay, not really, but hey, I had a good time. One of the songs in the movie they play is In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly. Afterwards Mike and I headed over to a bar in the neighborhood. We chose the Raccoon Lodge to pay tribute to Raccoon City from the Resident Evil series. Cool bar! Lot of WTC recovery workers and construction workers frequently visit this watering hole. Nice old wooden bar, great jukebox and that instant feeling that you're welcome here.

And for the second time in a row, Mike and I heard a song that was played in a movie at the bar we went to afterwards. These aren't your "typical" songs you'd hear what with all the Fall Out Boy barrage out there. After Balls of Fury (I know, such a great choice -- what am I saying, I wanted to see Resident Evil), someone played a Def Leppard song.

This time it was a bit more surreal. A little after we got there In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida started playing. Of all the songs that someone could play. Resident Evil. Raccoon City/Lodge. Same song. Hmmm.....trippy.

At the bar I found a penny. On my way home picked up another penny and a dime. Payday.
This morning I found a penny. I've broken $29!

Bring it on Umbrella Corp.
