Random Updates
Lots of fun stuff over the past couple of weeks. We checked out the Sky Bar at the Tower Room. It seems like a cool place...good food, decent wine selection and stiff drinks. The bartender mentioned that they get 300-400 people on Thursday nights. We were there for Happy Hour, so we missed the big fun.
Apparently tornado warnings will keep people in their homes and out of bars. Usual Thursday night hot spots were dead including cougar Thursday night favorite Grisanti's.
Speaking of death, we learned that 10-12 vodka tonics mixed with Liquid Zanex shots will do a number on you. Lucky for me, I didn't learn this the hard way. A friend who will remain nameless, paid for it the next day. Watch that first step, its a doosie.
Other randomness...
I can blame my crappy golf outing at Galloway on a sighting of John Calipari (or his twin brother) on a Vespa/motor scooter. This image still haunts me. Get that man a Harley.
All reports have indicated that the River Arts Festival has been a success. Friday night was slow with rain, but the remainder of the weekend has had beautiful weather.
Pearl's Oyster House is still a fun place to hang out, but the food quality hasn't impressed me lately. They really need to work on their consistency.

Halloween Is Quickly Approaching
With Halloween only being a few weeks away, local bars are starting to announce their Halloween specials. I was at Big Foot Lodge last night and the cute bartender mentioned that they will have $2 BF Coors Light draught along with other specials on Halloween night. That's right, 34 ounces of Coors Light draught for only 2 bucks (normally $3.99). Sounds like a deal to me!
And don't forget to get a costume. You don't want to be the only one not dressed up.
