Tue update #2

I bet there are a lot of you who have wanted to try the Ghost River taproom, but you haven’t made it there yet. I bet there are also a lot of people out there who were customers of Double J, and who have not yet had the chance to try the Double J Egg Roll Express food truck but would like to. Tomorrow you can kill two birds with one stone. The Egg Roll Express truck will be parked outside Ghost River’s taproom and will be selling food. Another good reason to go tomorrow is that it’s Flight Night, where you can try five different beers for only $8. The taproom will be open 4:00-10:30 tomorrow, with happy hour 4 to 6.

Don’t forget that tonight is the DNA/SMA holiday party at Jack Robinson Gallery on Huling, 6 to 9 PM. Food by Rizzo’s, music by Eddie Harrison, cash bar.

WALRUS will play Loflin Yard on New Year’s Eve. This extremely popular band will take you back to the music you played in the cassette deck of your first car.
