The reason for the lack of posts the past few days

Yeah, I know I haven’t posted as much as usual this week. The reason is not Thanksgiving-related as you might suspect. Actually, I have been working hard on the blog – the results just aren’t visible yet. I’ve been working on my “trip down memory lane” post, a tribute to places Downtown that have come and gone in the 6 years I’ve been down here. I’ve now invested 3+ hours typing it and I do believe it will be my longest post ever. I may finish it today, but may wait until Monday to release it when everyone has returned from the Thanksgiving holiday.

The Rapscallions team swelled to more than 20 members last night and dominated trivia last night for an easy first place, bringing our total certificate stash to $60 for the next party. I hung out for a little while after trivia last night, but the Saucer was back to being a three-ring circus and I’ve decided I’m no longer interested in being one of the clowns. So I headed down the street to Hoop’s Bar, then to Big Foot for Paul’s Drunkass Wings. Usually I prefer blue cheese on my wings, but their dill ranch is reeeeeeaaaaallllyyyy good.

We’re having a pot luck at my office today – everyone is bringing an appetizer or dessert. Since I don’t cook and I’m too busy drinking after work to go to the store, I’m going to phone in to the Majestic and get an order of calamari to go.

Also, my office announced their Christmas party next month – at E&H, with unlimited soul burgers. Have I mentioned that I really like this company?

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, the musical RENT is playing at the Orpheum. I’ve been told this will be the last time the show is in town for a while.

So I’m in town for Thanksgiving for the first year ever. Tonight: Turkey of the Year glass night at the Saucer, and then a probable relocation to either McGuinness or Hoop’s for more beer.

Yeah this post sucks. After I get a hold of this week’s Flyer and find out what there is to do this weekend, I’ll post again.
