Circa will be open for Father’s Day dinner this Sunday, June 21, beginning at 5 PM, and they’ll have some “manly” specials for dads: grilled porterhouse, jumbo king crab legs, and crabmeat stuffed beef tenderloin. Also, there will be no corkage fee on Father’s Day if you want to bring a bottle from home, or you can pick from Circa’s extensive wine selection. You can make a reservation here.
Circa will also have pre-theater nights for the performances of Wicked at the Orpheum. There will be a prix fixe menu with soup or salad, entree, and dessert for $40. For the Friday and Saturday evening shows, there will be reverse happy hour after the shows beginning at 10 PM – $2.50 beers, $4 wells, $5 wines and specialty cocktails.
The Young Guns, the band that absolutely ROCKED the Southern Hot Wing Festival in April, is opening for Blues Traveler at the Snowden Grove Ampitheater on June 26. More info and tickets available here. All ages, $10.
Here’s link to the MIFA No-Go Gala Cookbook. MIFA is having a gala event to raise funds, but it’s different from most events in that they’re asking people to not show up. Instead, stay home, cook a recipe from the cookbook, and send a donation. From the cookbook’s home page you can submit a secure online donation, or get a number to call to donate over the phone. You can also submit recipes for the cookbook.
I’d like to point out that tube tops are highly appropriate attire for gala events, especially ones that you don’t attend.
In the CA this morning: The UrbanArt Commission is seeking proposals to light a new bridge that will connect Confederate Park to the new law school across the street on Court. Read the article here. Proposals are due June 26.
Plans for tonight: Probably a Happy Hour beer at the Saucer, then I’ll head to the Red Rooster for “WTF Wednesday.” 25 cent PBR and Miller Lite draft, and Bar Olympics games.
