Great places to be stranded in the event of a zombie apocalypse (part 1)
I was laid up most of last week, so I didn't get to see much of St Patrick's Day. I hope all my Irish friends and readers had a great day, and I also hope they'll respectfully avoid mentioning yesterday's rugby match.
You might remember a short while back I did a food-based interview with Jeremy Sus of Chicago Examiner.com when we talked, amongst other things, about the impact a zombie apocalypse might have on our eating habits. Jeremy posted a link on my Facebook page this week about beer, and that got me thinking back to my recent visit to Dublin.
Before the Sunday sessions began at Phoenix Con, my wife Lisa and I snuck off for a little sightseeing. Inevitably we ended up at the Guinness Storehouse – home of one of the most famous, and undoubtably one of the greatest beers ever created. The tour takes you up through several floors of exhibits describing the history and production of Guinness, before culminating in a complimentary pint in the seventh floor Gravity Bar. And the Gravity Bar, I remember thinking at the time, would be a damn fine place to find yourself stuck when the dead start to rise.
Where else are you going to get a). a virtually unobstructed, panoramic view of the chaos unfolding across Dublin, b). the security of being seven floors and a hundred feet above street level, and c). the luxury of a huge bar serving almost nothing but perfect pints of Guinness? Okay, so technically it wouldn't be the most sensible place to hide (from memory there's only one way in and out if the lifts are out of action – you'll have to try and get down the same way the living dead are fighting their way up), but with all that Guinness on tap, who'd give a damn?!
You wouldn't last long, and you're out of luck if you don't like Guinness, but I challenge you to find a better place to be stranded in the event of a zombie apocalypse!
