Eat Your Art Out!

Maybe you’ve heard, maybe you haven’t — It’s that time of year again, literally, where we gather for an interesting afternoon of eating and drinking in the name of good will and charitable activities — this year, Eat Your Art Out in support of the Sacramento Metro Arts Commission.  It’s this Saturday, the 26th, from noon till 5PM and, as per the usual, we’ll probably be out late into the night; although, that is not a requirement.  So if you have the energy, the time, and a little extra cash, browse on over to http://crawltix.com/eatyourart/ and sign up.  Our team name this year is H-Cubed.

family during the Holidays.

From the Pine Cove – we will be on our way… stopping at a total of
6 bars in the East Sacramento area. We will have maps at the Pine

Remember to wear a CRAZY SANTA HAT or the holiday spirit and have
fun. If you are looking for a Crazy Hat, visit the Village Hats Shop.
They are located at 123 K Street in Old Sac or Wishing Well at 12th
and S St.

We have heard so many excuses why people won’t wear a hat… and they
all STINK! This one is really easy… glue some mistletoe at a hat,
an elf hat…Everyone always wears a Crazy Hat on this Pub Crawl.

NO DRINKING AND DRIVING. Please – if you decide to do something
dumb…don’t come. Taxis are cheap when you share the cost Yellow
Taxi 444-2222.

We hope to see you there…feel free to e-mail us with comments,
questions or complaints.

Stay Crazy,

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer – 6th Year Participants

Making Strides 2007

It’s that time of year again when team captain Bernadette and I put together a group of folks (Keepin’ 2nd Base Safe) and start raising funds to support The American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk.  This is our sixth consecutive year participating, and we hope to beat our record of $2,200 raised.

Click the “DONATE” button below and Help me and my team reach our goals! Every bit helps — no contribution too large or too small.  Whatever you can spare to support the cause is greatly appreciated.

If you’re local to the Sacramento area, or will be in town, please feel free to join us on the walk through downtown and Old Sacramento.  The event is October 19, 2008.  Start and Finish lines are at the Capitol, and we’ll probably start walking around 9AM.

Lounge On 20 – Grand Soft Opening

Last night wasn’t the first night, but it was the first night.  It’s strange to try and understand, because there could quite possibly be another first night.  That’s right, Lounge On 20 had its soft opening to the public, but it was mostly friends, family, and regulars of the local bar community.  Probably not the typical crowd you’d find once the newness passes.

It’s a lounge, so this isn’t the kind of place where you go to sit at the bar.  Hence the very short and small sitting area at the bar.  The rest of the building is great.  Wide and open areas with high ceilings.  (Not sure why the ceilings matter, but I guess it makes you feel like you actually have more room for you and your group.)  Clean, crisp lines.  Adequate low-light levels for proper dilation of the pupils.  The front walls open for patio seating.  And table service, so you don’t have to leave your conversation to go order drinks.

There is a small dress code that forbids the wearing of hats or tank tops.  (I usually take off my hat when entering a restaurant, so this isn’t a real problem for me.)  They had no issues with my wearing of sneakers and shorts — a plus, especially in this summer Sacramento heat.

I was a little late on ordering food, which stops at 10 during the week (at least for now.)  From what I gathered while talking to one of the line cooks, it’ll be mostly appetizers and snacks.  You wouldn’t come here for dinner or lunch, unless you want a bunch of small plates, which isn’t a bad idea if the food’s good.  (I’ll check back on the menu, and let you know.)

Of course my favorite part was the price of a single Bushmills.  Five Dollars.  Will this last?  I don’t know, but if it does, then it’s fair to say that my GV Hurley’s hours could be transferred to Lougne On 20.
