Doors are now
open Saturdays
every other week

BY LINDSEY SCULLEN

Daily Staff Reporter

The lights were dimmed in

Mighty Good Coffee, a small café
in downtown Ann Arbor. Lit can-
dles lined the tables, and bassist
Lenny Swanson — Mighty Good
Coffee’s wholesale and general
manager — led a house band
through a few jazz standards.
Interestingly enough, as cus-
tomer chatter buzzed around the
shop, coffee wasn’t the drink of
choice.

For the third time, Mighty

Good Coffee moonlighted as
the Brillig Dry Bar on Saturday
night, opening its doors to the
public and ushering in crowds of
people looking to drink without
getting drunk.

The opening marked the bar’s

official commitment to operating
every other week, though owner

Nic Sims said Brillig will likely
welcome customers on a more
regular basis in coming months.

“It’s a fun and lively place for

people who are looking for a
night on the town without all of
the trappings that come along

with an alcoholic bar — the noise
levels, the TVs and the alcohol,”
Sims said. “I mean it’s really just
about an alcohol-free, fun place
to hang out.”

Sims is part of the alcohol-

recovery community, as are
many of her patrons. With the
dry bar, she said, she is providing
others with a fun way to “over-
come their demons.”

Brillig serves non-alcoholic

classics, like a Brooklyn Egg
Cream, and alternatives to tra-
ditionally alcoholic beverages,
like its Vernors Orange Sour.
The bar’s drink menu changes to
include seasonal fruits and fla-
vors — for example, Sims recent-
ly switched from a cranberry
sour to the orange.

For sake of reference, a “whis-

key sour” typically involves
whiskey, lemon juice and sugar;
the Vernors Orange Sour entails
fresh orange juice and “sour
sauce,” which consists of cider
vinegar, fresh ginger and powder
ginger.

Sims’ husband David Myers

owns Mighty Good Coffee. He
and Sims conceptualized Brillig
during Thanksgiving this year —
they wanted to find a way to use
the shop after coffee-drinking
hours had ended.

Sims said in total, the conver-

sation that catapulted Brillig Dry

Bar into existence lasted 15 min-
utes.

“I came up with the name, I

sketched out a logo, we made a
plan for what we would serve
and then we decided that we
would test it,” Sims said.

The bar’s name, “Brillig,”

comes from one of Sims’ favorite
poems — “Jabberwocky” from
Lewis Carroll’s “Through the
Looking Glass.”

“The poem has a lot of mean-

ing to me as a person,” she said.
“I relate it to recovery in that
everybody has a jabberwocky
or a demon or something that
they’re trying to deal with.”

“ ‘Brillig’ appears in the first

line of the poem. It means ‘the
time of day when you switch
from daytime to evening cook-
ing.’ ”

The bar opened for the first

time Dec. 5, coinciding with Ann
Arbor’s “Midnight Madness,” a
night of holiday sales, caroling
and shopping.

Sims said about 250 to 300

people passed through the dry
bar that opening night, initiating
it as a hot spot for people around
Ann Arbor and beyond.

The next pop-up opening

came Dec. 29. Bartender Eric
Monaghan said the result was
similar — all sorts of people
showed up, some from as far

away as Toledo, Ohio.

Monaghan added that the bar

has attracted two demographic
groups in particular: pregnant
women and Muslims, both of
which are known not to drink
alcoholic beverages.

“It’s been very interesting —

the different crowds that we’ve
attracted,”
Monaghan
said.

“We’ve gotten a lot of students,
which I found surprising at first.”

Monaghan said because Ann

Arbor is known for its non-dry
nightlife, it was a bit of a won-
der that so many students have
shown up to Brillig.

LSA sophomore Maddy Moog

was one of the students at Brillig
on Saturday night.

“One thing I really liked about

it was that it was like a judge-free
zone,” Moog said. “It was a great
way to go out with friends and
not feel like you had any pressure
on you to consume alcohol.”

However, to Sims, the fact that

students are drawn to Brillig is a
particular type of success, a solu-
tion to a question she had long
been trying answer.

“How can I provide an alterna-

tive to the myth that recreation
requires alcohol consumption?”
Sims asked. “How can I make
teens understand that it’s not a
right of passage to grow up, to be
drunk?”

She said she wanted to show

young people that they could go
out to a bar-like environment and
have fun without getting drunk.
This message is particularly
important to Sims because she
and her husband have two teen-
age children, one 16 and one 17.

In addition to the family and

baristas from Mighty Good Cof-
fee, several of Sims’ friends also
wanted to be a part of the Brillig
project and work dry bar events.

“It always feels like we’re just

having a big party at the café,”
Sims said.

As of now, Sims’ party drink

of choice is the Brooklyn Egg
Cream — being from Brooklyn
herself, it makes her “nostalgic
and happy and feel good.”

The Brooklyn Egg Cream is

also one of Monaghan’s favorites.

“It almost makes you feel like

you’re a kid, it’s like a choco-
late soda,” Monaghan said. “It’s
been one of our most consistent
drinks. It’s really nice and sweet
and a lot of people really like it.”

Sims said each step she takes

with Brillig is a baby step toward
expanding the community’s idea
of nightlife culture. Now, she is
beginning to consult with other
businesses interested in mirror-
ing her business model and has
trademarked some of the dry
bar’s drinks.

“This is my heart and soul and

guts, everywhere,” she said.

32 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK (JAN. 26, 1983)

Students protest research

CHANMEE CHUNG/Daily

Engineering junior Daniel Lee and Engineering senior Kristina Kim
preform at The Engineering Games presented by The Society
Auditorium at Stamps Auditorium Saturday.

DISNEY DUET

Almost 30 students pro-

tested
defense
research

by marching to then-Vice
President
Charles
Over-

berger’s office. The stu-
dents wore “U-M military
research kills” T-shirts and
demanded that Overberger
come to a public forum and
explain why the University
is increasing its amount of
military research.

Overberger,
the
vice

president of research, was
believed by some student
groups to have a final say on
what research was conduct-
ed at the University.

“Your decision is final on

what research goes on,” said
LSA senior Ken Naffziger.

“Whether it is research with
killing or not.”

Overberger said a forum

organized by the Research
Policies Committee would
be helpful.

11 years ago this week

(Jan. 28, 2004)

University
students

received e-mails infected
with the MyDoom virus,
which spread through email
and peer-to-peer file sharing
programs.

Bruce Burrell, a computer

anti-virus team leader for
Virus Busters, a division of
the University’s Information
Technology Center Servic-
es, said the virus became a

problem because the updat-
ed virus definitions that pre-
vent the virus from reaching
students were unavailable
when the virus attacked.

“The bottom line is, if

you get an attachment from
someone, you never open it,”
he said. “You contact that
person and ask, ‘Did you
send me something?’ ”

A $250,000 reward was

offered by a Utah-based
UNIX system supporting
and
consulting
company

called the SCO Group, for
information leading to the
arrest and conviction of
those who created the virus.
