Aloha?
It's good to be back on the FL. Seems my bar stool got cold.
So, recently...as in since a little over a year ago I left the proper, jazz filled Fedora Lounge for the relaxed, exotica sounds of Tiki Central. Trading in a martini for a mai-tai, shirt and tie for an aloha shirt, sitting...
So, the other day I was getting a haircut, and I hadn't shaved for about a good month and a half. So, when he was cutting my hair, the barber offered a shave. Having never had a stirght razor shave, I accepted. Other than fleeting images of Sweeney Todd running thorugh my head, the shave was...
Good day all. I come to you from Ames, Iowa. Home of Iowa State Univeristy and the Cyclones. Now, I've been around Ames and I can't seem to find any hat stores. Does anyone have any stores hidden away? Much appreciated.

Some of my freinds recently showed me 4chan. It's a forum with little to no moderation. I now see the gift that they are. So, here's just a salute to the Bartenders.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

The 81 year old tradition of Chief Illinwek will end next week. I for one will be sad to see him leave. The closest bloodline to the origonal Illiniwek tribe resides in Oklahoma with the Peoria Tribe of Indians . The chief of this tribe has...
It's been w hile since I've been on. But since then, I've been going to colleges and getting ready for that next step of education. I want to study to become an architect. If there are any on here, can you tell me what college is like for an aspiring architect and what it takes to get started in...
To everybody at the Fedora Lounge,
Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving. I think the best quote to sum up Thanksgiving comes from the film "Pieces of April" (which, by the way, is an excellent movie to watch for Thanksgiving). The quote comes from April, the main character, as she is trying to...
It has come to my attention that anoyne between the ages of 16 and 18 wearing a trenchcoat MUST be carrying a gun or two. Now, I do wear my school jacket when I'm dressed casually in jeans and a black t-shirt, but when I wear more formal clothes I like to wear my trenchcoat. However, everyone...
What do you want to be for Halloween?
Well, it's getting towards that time of the year again. Pumpkins are out, the leaves are changing, and zombies stalk the streets. It's Halloween again and with that comes costumes, parites, and ,the best, free candy. I'm curious to hear what some loungers...
I was walking around downtown Chicago today and I noticed the amount of nightclubs and bars that were there and I started thinking (always a dangerous event) on why there isn't a real brick and mortar Fedora Lounge. Does anyone think that ther should or shouldn't be? I'm curious about this topic.
Yet again school has brought me to another interest point. We're studying Noir films and I was wondering if there are any suggestions of some really good Noir films for me and some of my buddies to watch. I love these movies, so befitting of our lounge.
So, today during government class, the students who were old enough to register to vote were given passes to go to the library and register today. From what I heard from my friend Jack, some of the kids there, and I use the word kids for a reason, were very uninformed about voting and ignorant...
Today in my government class, our teachers had to go over some 9/11 topics. A lot of them were good questions that required deep thought. The one question that really struck me though is also the title of this thread, "Is okay to be patriotic?" There was a mix of answers, some no's, some yes'...
