Yeah, I know I haven’t posted as much as usual this week. The reason is not Thanksgiving-related as you might suspect. Actually, I have been working hard on the blog – the results just aren’t visible yet. I’ve been working on my “trip down memory lane” post, a tribute to places Downtown that have come and gone in the 6 years I’ve been down here. I’ve now invested 3+ hours typing it and I do believe it will be my longest post ever. I may finish it today, but may wait until Monday to release it when everyone has returned from the Thanksgiving holiday.<\/p>\n
The Rapscallions team swelled to more than 20 members last night and dominated trivia last night for an easy first place, bringing our total certificate stash to $60 for the next party. I hung out for a little while after trivia last night, but the Saucer was back to being a three-ring circus and I’ve decided I’m no longer interested in being one of the clowns. So I headed down the street to Hoop’s Bar, then to Big Foot for Paul’s Drunkass Wings. Usually I prefer blue cheese on my wings, but their dill ranch is reeeeeeaaaaallllyyyy good.<\/p>\n
We’re having a pot luck at my office today – everyone is bringing an appetizer or dessert. Since I don’t cook and I’m too busy drinking after work to go to the store, I’m going to phone in to the Majestic and get an order of calamari to go.<\/p>\n
Also, my office announced their Christmas party next month – at E&H, with unlimited soul burgers. Have I mentioned that I really like this company?<\/p>\n
If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, the musical RENT is playing at the Orpheum. I’ve been told this will be the last time the show is in town for a while.<\/p>\n
So I’m in town for Thanksgiving for the first year ever. Tonight: Turkey of the Year glass night at the Saucer, and then a probable relocation to either McGuinness or Hoop’s for more beer.<\/p>\n
Yeah this post sucks. After I get a hold of this week’s Flyer and find out what there is to do this weekend, I’ll post again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
