Fighting their way through tough economic times the way grandpa would, BS is offering up cheap drinks ($3 Miller Lites, $2 bartender-calls-it shots), New Deal-esque free bread and soup, and -- most importantly -- boobies, compliments of a Depression-era burlesque performance from the girls of Vaudezilla, who have been known to make Japanese people scream, but totally in a good way.
