BREAKING NEWS!

I want to take time to send a hearty congratulations to one of our own, MR. LOW KEY and his lovely, beautiful wife, CHRIS ANN on the birth of twin boys! The big event took place early this morning and reports are that wife and babies are doing fine. So RUBY, step aside, you're going to have new playmates soon! As for LOW-KEY, good luck my friend! We wish nothing but the best to you, CHRIS ANN and your new family!

Last night's edition of Pub Trivia was another fun-filled affair with yet more new faces, and lots of teams vying for a spot in the championship round of our "Pub Trivia Tournament of Champions".

The theme for this week's trivia was appropriate enough: The Super Bowl. Some of the theme questions asked included the following: Name three of the four multiple Super Bowl MVP winners (Bart Starr, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Montana and Tom Brady); Where is next year's Super Bowl taking place and what is the name of the venue (Cowboys Stadium) and prior to last year's 100 yard fumble return for a touchdown (I think it was by Pittsburgh), who held the record for the longest touchdown return in a Super Bowl? (Desmond Howard, 99 yard kickoff return vs New England, '96).

Overall, the questions were a bit tougher than usual, but then again, this IS the Tournament of Champions, so you gotta step up your game a bit! In any case, about 15 teams took part and the winning team was "I GOT FINGERED BY REX RYAN". They earned a spot in the finals , scheduled for mid-March. If you and your friends think you got what it takes to be the "Top-Dawg" of Pub Trivia.






Join us again next week for another edition of Pub Trivia! Next week's theme: VALENTINE'S DAY!





This weekend is shaping up to be an interesting one. On the one hand, there's the BIG GAME highlighting a crazy weekend in sports; everyone's looking forward to Super Bowl XLIV (my prediction, by the way, is the SAINTS in a close one); on the other hand, the weather mavens are predicting a big snowstorm for Fri/Sat. So as a person in the business, this makes me nuts. How do you plan for something like this? Cross your fingers and hope for the best? Stuff like this doesn't help my blood pressure, that's for sure. Stay tuned....

In the meantime, it's THIRSTY THURSDAY ($4 Coors Light/Sam Adams drafts & $20 buckets of Miller Lite/Coors Light, 5-11pm) and I have to prep for that. Should be another good night. And don't forget, with the Saints appearing in this weekend's "Big Game" and Fat Tuesday coming up, we're featuring ABITA AMBER ALE and TURBO DOG all month long!

On a quick, separate note: I've been finding FACEBOOK to be a useful tool to track down people. Every so often we come across someone who leave their driver's license at the bar or forget a wallet or purse. Three times in the last two weeks I've been able to track down the owner through Facebook and they were able to be reunited with their belongings. And they say Facebook is a nuisance. Not true! Good stuff.


That's It. That's All I Got.
