Well, it’s grim times folks. Grim times indeed. The Phoenix Pub, creator of Last Call and serious influence of TGB, is thinking of shuttering their doors. So this place, and Avoiding The Drop, will be your home for Last Call if it is in fact to continue. It’s a sad day indeed. I wish those folks the best and offer them this humble site to write whatever their brains might concoct if the shuttering does go down. Speaking of all this stuff, do you folks want to see the Last Call post continue on or would you like to see us put our efforts elsewhere.
