As most of you are aware, when the weather is warm I avoid the Union Mission and stay out all night as much as I can. That way, I get to see friends in the evenings and I save the $6 nightly cover charge at the Mission. I’d spend the hours between late-night Saucer/E&H closing and early-morning Bardog/Chess Club opening sitting on a park bench on the Main Street Mall in front of the Moxy Hotel.
Last night I got an unwelcome surprise, though. Sometime Monday or Tuesday the city removed the 2 benches in front of the hotel. 
Basketcase returns to headline another Peabody rooftop party Thursday, with special guest Jordan Frye. $15 to get in, $40 to go VIP. VIPs get a buffet of assorted hors d’oeuvres, fruit, and cheese/vegetable crudite trays.
KICK’N MAC is the burger of the week at Momma’s. Angus beef, four-cheese macaroni, bacon, lettuce, tomato, pickled jalapeño.
The Majestic Grille seeks a part-time bartender.
Today is National Chicken Wing Day and National Lasagna Day.
The Flying Saucer will sell flying saucers on Saturday, which is National Disc Golf Day. First come, first served with very limited supply available. Doors open at 11 AM. $20. They will have a disc golf swag sweepstakes August 1-7; redeem your Untappd badge to enter.
I got 3rd place at Saucer trivia for the third week in a row. I like those $15 gift certificates; I use them as burgers-n-fries on demand whenever I’m out Downtown and hungry.
I had a cucumber lime setzer at the Saucer last night. Refreshing on a day when the feels-like temp makes me wonder if I relocated to Venus.
Back soon with more news.
