My Garage Bar...
Started kinda simple a year ago and just expanded.I have a 32 inch tv hooked to a pc with over 2800 music videos that play in random. Sound is pumped through a vintage technics stereo system, but i just ordered a Pyle 1000 watt dj amp.
We have a blast on fridays and saturdays out there. The bar and backbar didnt run me a lot of $$, got about 200 bucks into all of it. Not including bar lights and booze. I have a small chest freezer that i hooked up a timer to and it runs as a beer cooler. We also have 2 pizza ovens, a deep fryer, and a BBq grill just out the back door. http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/248461_1923778809983_1107505184_32009608_2926208_n .jpg

That is a man cave right there. No frills. Just booze, tunes and good times.

Torrents would be my guess. I see them in there all the time.
70's 80's 90's etc. Batches of 'em anywhere from 1 to 30 gig.

About half are torrents, the rest from youtube, other video sites, some from dvds I and some friends have. Everything from ac/dc to zz top and alan Jackson to Waylon. Even clips of standup comedy and of course Jack Daniels and beer commercials. Not sure why or how it happened but a live version of Steely Dans "Hey Nineteen" Is a bar favorite.
I want to redo the Bar top this winter. I got the countertop for free, but would like to make an older looking wood top. Will post pics of this when I start it.
This is a real great group. Lots of cool ideas. Glad to be here!

Very nice, my buddy had that same high life sign back in high school. He only had one party ever but that sign was put in the front window of his house to let people know the party was there. Later that night that bad boy sign met my head and sadly it lost, never to make a return. His dad was pissed and I didnt see my buddy for 6 months after that.
