Not much to report today, so this one won’t be terribly interesting.<\/p>\n

I did bum patrols for much of the afternoon yesterday, but stopped in the Red Rooster to have a beer with the gang.\u00a0 Everyone really seems to like that place and I have a feeling it will turn into a regular hangout.\u00a0 I looked at the menu, and thought to myself, wow, the nachos are a little expensive.\u00a0 But then someone ordered them and Mount Nachos came out!\u00a0 Enough for two people to split unless you’re really hungry.\u00a0 Man those things looked good.\u00a0 I’ll have to try them myself to verify, but the Rooster may have a shot at taking my personal award for Best Nachos Downtown away from Huey’s.<\/p>\n

Got to the Saucer about 5:30, and although the place was ridiculously packed, I managed to get a seat at one of the tables where I had a perfect view of the HDTV next to the dart boards.\u00a0 Most of the gang met up between 6 and 6:30 and everyone had a great time, although some of us weren’t too happy with Frank and the Nuh-Uh Girl for wearing Volunteer orange.\u00a0 The Tigers lost, but does it really matter?\u00a0 We’re still a lock for a #1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, as long as we don’t lose any of our joke-of-a-conference games for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

Speaking of dart boards… the Saucer is getting two new dart boards today.\u00a0 They’ve finally taken our advice and stopped buying flimsy crap boards that wear out quickly.\u00a0 This time they bought $95 dart boards that are guaranteed to last for a year.\u00a0 Interest in darts seems to be picking up, and it will be good to have some quality boards to play on.<\/p>\n

Time for the beer report.<\/p>\n

Previous total:\u00a0 $291.50<\/p>\n

Beers 58, 59, and 60 (but 54, 56, and 57 according to the Saucer):
\nDogfish Head 90 Minute IPA $7.00
\nTommy Knocker Butthead $5.00
\nNorth Coast Brother Thelonious Belgian Style Ale $14.00
\nTip:\u00a0 $26.00 x ~ 30% = $9.00
\nTotal $35.00<\/p>\n

Grand total:\u00a0 $326.50<\/p>\n

Well, I guess they can’t all be 10-dollar nights.\u00a0 That Brother Thelonious beer was a monster – 25.4 ounces, 9.4% alcohol.\u00a0 It kept me occupied for three-fourths of the game.<\/p>\n

Today is week 2 for brunch at the Majestic, followed by the weekly installment of Paul Whoops Pete’s Ass at Pool.<\/p>\n

It’s also Beer Pong Sunday at Hoop’s Bar.\u00a0 Here’s a pic I took Friday night of the beer pong table:<\/p>\n
