Aaaaah Psycho Suzi's.... Sustaining Mental Health in Nordeast Minneapolis Since 2003
MmmmK, Sit back and relax...
My Psycho Suzi's Story:I will never forget my first visit to PS many years ago. Visiting my wife's crazy friend Molly who lives in the area. Always game for anything, she braved a snow storm to drive us there. I walk in and the first thing I see is a big neon sign over the bar expressing one of the wisest proverbs ever ...
"Your petty concerns of authenticity are irrelevant." I knew I was in the right place! We had many drinks, met some truly unique and diverse natives and, as advertised, "shady characters" who showed us the true nature of Minnesota hospitality... it did not disappoint... unlike Molly.
Molly underestimated the power of her "dash of voodoo" infused rum-spiked punch

...just around the time the snow storm turned into a blizzard.
As she slid from the barstool to the floor I realized I was the most sober one to drive us home.. in the blizzard.
I'm a Floridian...
I drove a few times in the snow in Alaska but... it was alway a heavy government work truck with chains and never in white out thunder-snow blizzard after a Crummy Scoundrel, a One Eyed Willy, a Miserable Bastard and maybe something else.
This was different!
We did not have GPS on our phone back then... Molly was struggling to form a coherent sentence that included things like ... directions to get back to her house... in the blizzard.
A 20 minute drive turned into a 60 minute odyssey through the Valley of Death... sideways.
it was awesome !
From that day forward I have adopted these wise words;
"Your petty concerns of authenticity are irrelevant" and have seen them through a rum fogged lens and worn them as a cloak all these years at every tiki event I have ever attended.
Next time we visit Molly we will give you a heads up so you can either join us... or hide.
