I have terrible news. Charlie Brown’s is closed. Not only is this unfortunate because I just scheduled the first Princeton Emergent Cohort meeting to take place at Charlie Brown’s – but it is an utter travesty. Why? On Thursday nights, Charlie Brown’s was the hangout for Princeton Seminarians (especially those of us who are married because we could walk there) – and they had $2 pints. $2 for anything – black & tans, Guinness, Sam Adams. It was also a place where some wonderful community was formed. And it was a hell of a lot of fun. And we could walk there – did I mention we could walk there?
As far as I can tell – the closest bar to us now is Hooters…and I’m not sure how everyone feels about that. I’ve only been once, but I’m not sure it would provide the best atmosphere for conversations on theology – unless it was a discussion on temptation…
So, what are we to do? Any ideas? There has been some talk about getting a keg each week and hosting a gathering in one of the basements of CRW. Would any current students be down with that? If everyone pitched in $2/night, that might work. Any other ideas? Here is an article from the Princeton Packet on why Charlie Brown’s called it quits.
