Mon update: Dempseys, beer, restaurant discounts, more

I’m meeting my health guru AL for dinner tonight at Safari World Tapas on South Main.  It will be my first time to eat dinner there and I’m looking forward to a new and different food experience.

The Dempseys play the Flying Saucer Thursday night… needless to say, I’ll be there for that performance.  Heck, let’s face it, I’d probably be there no matter what band is playing.

While surfing the Saucer’s website to confirm the Dempseys, I noticed that they’re having a special release tapping Friday, February 20.  That’s when the brewer makes a custom cask – just one – of a specialty beer for Saucer customers to try.  This Friday it’s Lazy Magnolia Jefferson Stout Sweet Potato Cream Stout.  Wow that’s a long name for a beer.  Sweet potato-flavored beer?  Think I might like that.  Website doesn’t list a start time but these things usually start at 7 PM.  Dammit, that means it’ll conflict with the crawfish boil at the Rooster!  Guess I’ll have to leave the Rooster around 8 or 9 and take my chances that the beer hasn’t run out.

Restaurant.com has a new promotional coupon code good through February 19. Click here and enter code PREZ at checkout to save 70% on your order. It’s good on their $25 gift certificates, Dinner of the Month Club, and most of their other popular products.  Many restaurants Downtown and throughout the city are part of this program.  Normally you can buy $25 face-value certificates for $10, but with the discount promo code that will cut the price to $3.

I attended the Silly Goose’s Sunday Bloody Mary breakfast yesterday… am going to give them another week to work the kinks out before I review it.  It’s hard to close a restaurant at 3 AM and turn around and open it at 11 AM.  Not sure I’ll be back this coming Sunday, but some Sunday soon I’ll give it another try.

I have to write a user manual for the software I’m developing this week, starting today.  That’s mostly going to be capturing and captioning screen shots and is going to be boooooring.  Wish I could outsource this stuff.  Hmmm perhaps this is the kind of work that can be done with a Pint Nite beer in front of me.

I’ll finish this post by wishing a good morning to those who have Presidents Day off… for everyone else, yeah, it’s not such a good morning, given that it’s Monday and below freezing outside.  See ya later… I’ll post again if I learn of more stuff going on this week.
