Next Friday, July 1, the Flying Saucer goes smoke-free. A bunch of the regulars are planning a “First Smoke-Free Beer at the Saucer” party for 7:30 that evening. This is not an event planned by management; rather, it is an event planned by us, to show management our support. We want to reinforce that the Saucer [...]

The Ghost River beer tent at South Main Trolley Night last night. Brittney understands the secret to maximizing beer sales: Wear a tube top.

Last night I was at the Saucer, having a couple of pre-game beers before I headed to South Main Trolley Night. I pulled out my iPhone and caught up with Facebook. Someone [...]

I need to take a short break from the blog. I had a situation happen Tuesday night that upset me so much that it made me physically sick for a while. It’s not something that should be talked about on here. Just know that I’m OK, and it’s not a serious/permanent situation like someone dying or [...]

We’re getting the band back together! The Rapscallions trivia team re-formed last week at the Silly Goose, after merging with another team to become the Deep-Fried Rapscallions. We want that $300 cumulative prize for the team with the most points June through August, and we’re also interested in adding another first-place $50 gift certificate to our [...]

Friday night there will be a Party for the Cure at Rehab Disco. DJs will include MatthewEss, Scotty B, and Yo! Santos. $7 cover at the door, and funds raised will go toward the funding of Ashley Davis and Angela Ladner’s participation in the San Francisco Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. Over the course [...]

I finally got the South Main night I’ve been wanting for a while. Wandered into Max’s Sports Bar about 8. The bar was a little less busy than usual, and I got a seat, a PBR, and a little blue crack box. What do I mean by “crack box?” Well, it’s the controller for [...]

Last night I walked in the Saucer and saw this beautiful sign hanging over the entrance to the bar:

Very happy their corporate office made this decision. Now people will be able to enjoy their beer and food without having to breathe cancer-causing secondhand smoke. People will also be able to come to the Saucer [...]

Just got home from Kooky Canuck’s 6th birthday party. A few pics:

Nikki and Chad

A very nice close-up view of Nikki

Me and tube top hottie

The Nuh-Uh Girl and Hurricane Zane

Yeah I forgot to rotate the pic of Nikki’s ass clockwise 90 degrees. Just deal with it. Pick up your monitor and turn it sideways if [...]

Suzy should win a Golden Globe award for this pic. Two of them, actually.

Believe it or not, I actually got up early enough to do a post before work this morning! Got a good night’s sleep, visions of tube tops dancing in my head. I’m wide awake now, though, so let’s hit it!

Tonight is one [...]
