FLICKER OF THE WEEK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing would please us more right now than to raise a PBR<\/strong> as a toast, not just to this week\u2019s \u201cFOW<\/strong>\u201d but the wily working class culture it reflects and the particular era it will help close down with good cheer. Your humble editor plans to write again a few days from now about the event \u2013 a final reprise of B-movies created by C-U native Jason Butler<\/strong>, with quite decent assistance from his friends, at the about-to-shutter Mike n’ Molly\u2019s, 105 N. Market St., Champaign<\/strong> \u2013 so we\u2019ll keep this one short lest we start crying in our beer a tad prematurely. Please do us a solid by joining everyone next Thurs., 5\/26<\/strong>, from 8 p.m.<\/strong> on as we ease the pain with camaraderie and laughter while episodes of Butler\u2019s THE ADVENTURES OF THE SCREAMING APE<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and WEREWOLF CEMETERY<\/a><\/strong><\/span> are projected somewhere on the premises, set to become the property of others in June. (You can also pay Mike n’ Molly\u2019s a visit on Fri., 5\/27<\/strong>, and Sat., 5\/28<\/strong>, the last two evenings they will be open for business.) We wish all the best to Michael Murphy<\/strong>, owner of the beloved townie tavern for its entire 19-year run, and pray the recent cancellation of Mark Roberts<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u2019 MIKE & MOLLY<\/strong> sitcom had nothing to do with the decision. Murph and his faithful employees will find replacement gigs, the Pi Omega Omega<\/strong> drinking fraternity will designate a new headquarters elsewhere, and the former \u201ccounseling center\u201d encased in brick and vine will hopefully be turned into something palatable and find its future audience. Go be sad now, brethren. We\u2019ll wait for your return. Hic<\/em>. Damn. Snif<\/em>. It has begun at MFHQ<\/strong> as well. Hic. Snif. Hic.<\/em><\/p>\n
