Thanks to my buddy Tim for snapping a pic of the bar sign. We're going through some pretty dire times here in the USA, and I'm certain that $1 beers, free BBQ, and marathon happy hours are much appreciated by anyone who took a good look at their most recent ConEd bill.

But I just can't help but feel sorry for poor Ian MacKaye, a principled man who has been up to his neck in Minor Threatxploitation. Over the last few years, Nike knocked off a piece of MT art, and a not-so-hot hot sauce almost used the label design below (they had the decency to ask MacKaye and company first). More recently, a goateed Sir Ben Kingsley was filmed copping MacKaye's style. At least the bar above is showing the Redskins game...

Check out this interview Billy Jam did with Ian MacKaye last year (real audio archive).

UPDATE: Thanks to Jim for alerting us all to the tattoo pic.
