To get to The Cove, take Sam Cooper Blvd. to Hollywood.\u00a0 Turn north on Hollywood (which would be a left turn if you’re coming from Downtown) then take an immediate turn to the east (right) on Broad.\u00a0 Broad is only like a half block north of Sam Cooper; if you’re on Hollywood and you hit Summer you went too far.\u00a0 The Cove is a couple blocks down from Hollywood on Broad.\u00a0 If you’ve never been to The Cove you should go.\u00a0 Really cool spot.\u00a0 You can read about it in this post about my recent field trip there<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Attn Johnny Cash fans:\u00a0 The buy-the-beer, keep-the-glass glass tonight at the Flying Saucer is a special Valentine’s Day glass featuring a young Johnny Cash and June Carter.\u00a0 This looks like one of the cooler designs they’ve had in a while.\u00a0 They go on sale at 7.\u00a0 Also, if you’re a UFO Club member, the “Important Beer Goddess Video” they e-mailed contains a beer quiz for a $5 gift certificate.\u00a0 Remember, if you’re taking the quiz you’re already on the Internet – so you can pop open a new window or tab and use Google or Wikipedia to cheat.<\/p>\n

Tigers vs. Houston tonight at 8.\u00a0 This is one of the few opponents in Conference USA that is not a complete joke of a team, so we better be prepared if we want to remain #1.\u00a0 If we lose it’ll doubly suck because Duke would take our top spot.\u00a0 Have I mentioned I hate Duke?<\/p>\n

Last night’s beers 25, 26, and 27:<\/p>\n

Previous total:\u00a0 $121.25<\/p>\n

Beers:
\nBlue Moon FINALLY A DECENT FIRE SALE!!! $2.75
\nLabatt Blue draft (I screwed up – meant to get the bottle) $4.25
\nMiller Lite bottle\u00a0$3.25
\nTip $10.25 x ~30% = $3.00
\nTotal $13.25<\/p>\n

Grand total:\u00a0 $134.50<\/p>\n

Now up to 3 beer tickets that have gotten lost… so I claim I’m at 27 and the Saucer claims I’m at 24.\u00a0 Now, I’ve been meaning to take the list of beers I’ve had in and see if I can get those three credited back… and because they know me well, they’d probably give them to me.\u00a0 But, you know, if I want this to be a true, accurate reflection of the cost of getting a plate, maybe I shouldn’t<\/em> get those beers credited back.\u00a0 Lost beers are part of the cost most people would encounter en route to finishing.<\/p>\n

One of the trivia questions last night was “Two of the major companies that provide credit reports are Equifax and Experian.\u00a0 What’s the third?”\u00a0 Haha… sometimes it’s nice to work for a company that sells background checking services.\u00a0 (The answer is Trans Union by the way – and that’s not my<\/em> company)\u00a0 I need to do a post about my company sometime.\u00a0 I’ve avoided mentioning them by name because I don’t know if they want their good name associated with drunk posts, bums, Tube Top Month and all the other idiocy that goes on here.\u00a0 But it’s a really cool startup company and some BIG names in the IT business are involved.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, it’s time to get to work.\u00a0 But before I do, let me announce the winner of trivia last night.\u00a0 That would be none other than THE RAPSCALLIONS!!!\u00a0 We tied for first place and then won the tie-breaker question to get our first $50 toward Rapscallion Party VII.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
