Farewell to Excuses (GaaG Classic: (7/20/22)

I host the YouTube Channel "Goose and a Gander" and I'm excited to say that I'll be bringing my content over to Rumble! I have my new show "Taking a Gander" which posts every Thursday at 6pm ET. In additional I'll be posting a selection of my favorite videos here too with the label "GaaG Classic." Thanks for coming along!

Thank you to the Excuses staff that made so much of us feel at home. It wasn't just a hangout but a special place we all gravitated towards.

I grew up in Michigan and never lived more than 10 miles from my childhood home. In early 2014 I moved away for the first time and ended up across the street from Excuses. On my first official night in town there was an intense snowstorm and the city fell quiet. My whole life was still in boxes and I was thirsty for a beer after a long day of moving. I looked out my front window and saw a red glow painting the snow. I said why not.

Since that day I have had way too many Gyros, wings, and beers. In that building, I've made friends, listened to music, played games and even watched sports.

Excuses had an impact on the regulars like me. I rarely thought of it as a bar. It felt more like a public house of the olden days. A place to be when there really wasn't anywhere else to go.

Thanks for everything!
