UFC 91: A ROUSING SUCCESS....We hosted the latest
UFC PPV event on Saturday night:
UFC 91, featuring the legendary
RANDY COUTURE (so that's what they tell me) and former
WWF star,
BROCK LESNAR.
The last time we hosted a
UFC ppv event, we didn't quite get the turnout we were hoping for, due to monsoon-like rains that fell throughout the day of the event. And with rain in the forecast again on Saturday, I couldn't help but to feel a bit nervous. As it turned out, a little rain didn't damper the spirits of
UFC fans as the bar filled up pretty quickly, in anticipation of a night of hardcore
MMA action.
And while things did get a bit "sticky" during the fight, most folks dealt with the warmth of the room by sucking down ice cold beers at a rapid pace. Most importantly, everyone got along famously which was another concern of mine. A bunch of rabid
UFC fans in one hot room could easily mean trouble, but it all worked out in the end and everyone had a pretty good time.

HERE.I've been trying to catch up with my TV viewing of late and while it hasn't always been a success, I can say THANK GOD FOR
DVR! So at the very least, I can catch up on my shows on my time and not feel crushed for missing first-run episodes.
That being said, here's my current Top Five TV shows to watch:
1)
TRUE BLOOD (HBO, Sunday Night). HBO has a hit on its hands with the blood-thirsty, sometimes bizarre, strangely erotic drama, featuring an unforgettable cast of characters. Probably the best series
HBO's put out since a certain Italian family from Jersey.
2)
SKINS (BBC America, Sunday Night). A Brit-hit teenage coming of age comedy series about a group of friends trying to find their way in the world.
3)
BROTHERHOOD (Showtime, Sunday Night). I wrote about this series a while back; based on a true story about a family in New England (Providence, R.I.) whose loyalties straddle between public service and the Mob.
4)
GAVIN and STACEY (BBC America, Tuesday Night). A quaint little comedy that follows the trials and tribulations of a guy and a girl who met and fell in love. It follows them from the day they met, up until their wedding day and thereafter. Hilarious.
5)
THE SHIELD (
FX, Tuesday Night). This long-running, gritty police drama is wrapping up its final season and it's going out with a bang. Hardcore stuff, this show made envelope-pushing
NYPD Blue look like the Boy Scouts. This show will be missed.
If you haven't done so yet, make sure you check them out and give me your thoughts on what you see. I can almost guarantee you that you'll like what you see.
NEWSFLASH: As a result of the resent rash of job layoffs across the different industries that make NYC great, we've decided to re-name "
Mug Night Madness" to a more appropriate one. Something befitting the sign of the times. So as of now, Mondays will be known as
"RECESSION MONDAYS", featuring
$1.00 Bud/Bud Light and Coors/Coors Light mugs AND $2.00 Domestic Draft mugs, ALL NIGHT LONG!
