$8 Orval

"I'm looking in on the good life I might be doomed never to find
Without a trust or flaming fields, am I too dumb to refine?"
— The Shins, "New Slang"

Erica, Justin, and I went to dinner last week at Fox & Hound, an English pub-looking place where they serve you your drinks at your table, as opposed to how it happens in real pubs where you get your own at the bar. Or so I'm told.

The food was OK and they had Orval at $8 a bottle, which is a little much. I was mostly put off by the lack of a non-smoking section and the constant-video-playing channel had entirely too much U2 on it for my liking.

Fortunately, as we were leaving I was able to catch part of the video that The Shins did for their indie rock single "New Slang". I didn't know there was such a thing.
