The Wonderful World of The Creek

It all seemed like a mirage. We were desperate for a Promethean addition to our typical LIC evening. We walked aimlessly into the hot summer air searching desperately for the one place that would make us feel alive, invigorated and serve guacamole. We had just about given up when a vision appeared through the diaphanous haze. This vision, this force breezed through the doors with a guitar and landed directly into our hearts.

"Do you guys like music?" he said. We were intrigued. Of course we liked music. How absurd to even ask such a thing. We looked up to the establishment he had come from and lo and behold, with rays of light gleaming from the sign was THE CREEK.

We sauntered in and began the grand tour from our new Australian friend, Adam. Dear sweet Adam began to tell us of all the glorious events such as comedy shows, Team America movie showings, DJ dance your pants off nights and slideshows of why Dick Cheney is evil. He showed us the dark and mysterious Cave where all the events take place and we were left in amazement and absolute wonder. Aussie Adam then took us upstairs to the sunlit filled and awe inspiring deck. I felt a twinkle in my eye as I gazed out at the tiki torches and mounds of guac and chips being served. We sat down and soaked in the sun for what would become many of a great happy hour.

It is at our usual outside bar area that we have been fortunate enough to run into the almighty and powerful forces of people such as Shaundu, our reefer miracle worker and duck-and-hide Patrick, the questionably humorous comedian. Our days at the Creek have been filled with mounds of guac, pools of margaritas and all the people of the week one's little heart could desire, all smack dab in the middle of LIC.
