I had a request from a West Virginia native to do a store for the state university on College Logo Shopping<\/a>, so here you go:\u00a0 West Virginia Mountaineers store<\/a><\/p>\n I just got a tour of The Silly Goose, the new bar that will open in the old Swig location.\u00a0 They’ve done a great job with the place, and are putting the final touches on and waiting for their liquor license to be approved.\u00a0 If I had to describe the place, in one word, I’d say “comfortable.”\u00a0 They have completely de-Swig-ified it.\u00a0 It’s not pretentious in the least.\u00a0 They have warm, inviting wood trim and lighting that adds ambience, and they have a comfortable couch section that feels like a living room.\u00a0 They have “the library” where the old sushi bar was – you can grab a book and read, or you can use one of their two computers to surf the Internet (they also have Wi-Fi if you want to bring your own laptop).\u00a0 They’ve installed 10 beer taps and will carry 30 exotic beers in bottles.\u00a0 This place is going to be great.\u00a0 Can’t wait for it to open.<\/p>\n Wow, another locals’ bar.\u00a0 With the Silly Goose, Bardog Tavern, and the Voodoo Room all in the Downtown core – and of, course, the old standby, the Saucer – there’s going to be plenty to do in 2009.\u00a0 Then there’s Calhoun’s about half a mile to the south, with Buzztime Trivia due to arrive in a few weeks.<\/p>\n Jillian’s has discontinued their Thursday trivia night.\u00a0 Not sure what their new plan for Thursdays will be.\u00a0 I sure hope they don’t bring back Girls’ Night Out at Atlas, or as I called it, Poser Night at Club Lame.\u00a0 Last year Thursdays at Atlas were the biggest collection of douchebags and douchebaguettes anywhere other than Vegas or Jersey.<\/p>\n This Friday and Saturday is Monster Jam, the monster truck show at the FedExForum.\u00a0 That will draw an interesting crowd Downtown, I’m sure.\u00a0 I bet Kooky Canuck<\/a> bartender Meghan goes to Monster Jam.\u00a0 She seems like the kind of person who would.\u00a0 As I walked home from my tour of the Silly Goose, I saw Meghan’s car parked (illegally) on Second.\u00a0 She has an Ole Miss license plate frame<\/a>.\u00a0 Ole Miss… geez… as if I needed one more reason to hate Meghan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" (Edit January 9:\u00a0 Hey, I never hit the Publish button on yesterday’s post.\u00a0 Here you go.\u00a0 This was typed about 5 PM yesterday, Thur Jan 8.)
