Fri update: Big Lebowski @ Orpheum, Bar None, Hard Rock 40th, poker news, social networks and more

Screen capture from the "Important Beer Goddess Video" emailed this morning announcing the Father's Day glass at the Flying Saucer. It will be available for purchase Wednesday, June 15 at 7 PM. DUH, WHINING.

The Orpheum Summer Movie Series continues tonight, with “The Big Lebowski” showing at 7:15. In honor of The Dude’s favorite drink they will have a White Russian drink special. In addition, you can wear a bowling shirt or bathrobe to be entered to play in “Walter’s Over the Line Bowling Tournament.”

Bar None will be getting in on the fun too. They’ll have $4 White Russians and $3 “The Dude” flavored Three Olives vodka all night. That vodka is awesome. Tastes just like Mountain Dew. $25 gift card to be awarded to the best character costume after the movie.

Hard Rock Cafe will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the company’s founding Tuesday, June 14, and there will be a special for our men and women in uniform. Police officers, firefighters, EMTs and active military members can get a burger for 71 cents, in honor of Hard Rock’s 1971 founding.

Good news for poker players: A key conservative has joined forces with Harry Reid in the movement to legalize online poker. Let’s get this done soon!

I’ve been checking into Facebook Places more, and am starting to see the value in it. Last night I checked in at Bardog, and a Facebook friend who lives nearby came up to hang out. I still think Foursquare is the premier check-in service, but I have four times as many friends on Facebook as I do on Foursquare. Not that I’m going to quit Foursquare – I want to maintain my Flying Saucer, Bardog and Number 10 mayorships for as long as possible!

The one network I’ve been ignoring lately is Twitter. Between Facebook and Foursquare (and texting), I just don’t have enough phone battery left to do much tweeting. Thankfully, though, some of my friends have done a more than adequate job stirring up drama on Twitter during my relative silence. Apologies, though, to people who got used to a large number of tube top tweets last June and are disappointed this year.

Speaking of tube tops: I really need to step it up on the photos! I’ll have the camera out this weekend and hope to take and post some quality tube top shots.
