All right, let’s get to the rest of the news. I’ve still got a lot of stuff left and it’s after work, so I’m just going to throw it all into one post, in order to get off the computer and in front of a beer as quickly as possible.
I’ve learned that monthly parkers at the garage at Third and Union, the one where the ceiling was falling, have been told the garage will re-open tomorrow. Today they’re being asked to park in other garages run by Central, while the company addresses the ceiling problem.
The “Air Guitar on the Bar” contest at Bardog is scheduled for next Tuesday, October 13. In the newsletter Aldo said the start time would be around 11 PM, which means that people attending Mpact Happy Hour, the SMA meeting, or trivia still have plenty of time to get to Bardog for the contest. $3 Cabo Wabo shots (they’re sponsoring the event) and it’s also the bar’s $3 pint night. Grand prize is an electric guitar.
Bardog’s Halloween costume contest will be at midnight on Saturday, the 31st. $100 prize for first place, $50 for second, based on audience applause. $3 Fireball shots, and also $3 Bloody Brains and Cryptonic Jello Shots. Keep in mind that November 1 at 3 AM, the clocks “fall back” to standard time, which means Halloween night partiers get an extra hour, ’cause the bars don’t have to close until the second 3 AM.
Also, congrats to Bardog on getting 99 out of 100 on both their kitchen and bar inspections.
Republic Nightclub is kicking off a new event for Friday nights called “Ratio Fridays.” They’re challenging guys to bring big groups of women in with them. The guy who brings the biggest group of women (they must all enter at once) wins $400. The point is to get a good guy/girl ratio in the club. They wrote, “In the end, ratio is all that matters… no one likes a swordfight!”
Saturday night they’re having the 25th anniversary of Vivid Video. Okay, I just Googled “Vivid Video” and this is NOT a site you want to pull up if you’re sitting at a work computer.
Time to head to the Saucer for a happy hour Dos Equis Lager… Turbo Dog on Fire Sale? Hmmm if I go anywhere after the alley party, the Silly Goose is looking like an unusually strong option tonight. Or Bardog. Time for BEER!
