Well This is New..

Want to see your favorite band but, checked the tour dates, and they’re not hitting your city? Buy a ticket to an imaginary tour date, and the music fairy may just make your dreams come true.

Fans of the Foo Fighters in Richmond, Virginia have taken matters into their own hands and done exactly that. Via CrowdFunder, some die hard Foo fans bought $50 tickets for the yet-to-be-confirmed tourdate, and then they convinced some of their friends to buy $50 tickets, then they convinced some businesses to buy $50 tickets.. and yesterday the Foo Fighters confirmed – ok guys, we’ll come.

The date is TBD but the Foo Fighters will officially return to RVA after 16 years. The full story is right here.

Esquire partnered with cocktail historian David Wondrich to determine what city should take the cake, or should we say cocktail, as being the town for happy hour and more. Among the local bars cited as ‘must visits’ – PJ’s Lager House, Cliff Bell’s (pictured), Old Miami and more.
