Had some mighty fine 15-year Pappy Van Winkle last night at the BBC on Fourth Street. It not only warmed my inner lining, but it proved to be a good nightcap as I peacefully drifted off into weird dreamland.
This made me think of other warm drinks that not necessarily put you to bed but heat your insides. Have you been outside today? It’s frickin’ freezin’! Try these out sometime.

I try not to write about chain restaurants and bars much, but when I see a deal I think people should know about, I can’t help it. Hooters is currently offering $1 domestic drafts every day, all day long, as part of their “Hooters Economic Stimulus Package.” I find that very stimulating, especially after verifying that the glass size is 14 ounces.
I’ve never been much of a fan of Hooters’ food, especially their hairy wings, but I may have to revisit the menu while I sip from my $1 Miller Lite. Cheers!

Two hours into the job and I’m still trudging through e-mail. Sorry to all I haven’t responded to; sorry I missed the free beer party on Friday; sorry about your luck with the dudes; and sorry about that burning sensation that won’t go away … try some baby powder. That should just about cover everything.

I’m confused by “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Gonna try to lose my jet lag at the Pink Door. Think it’ll work?

Just heard that my beloved Pink Door is for sale. Somebody please put up some cash to keep it going. I can chip in about $40. I would definiltey hate to see it go … it’s brought sexy back to the Douglass Loop area and is the place to dance, people watch and play Rock Band on Thursday nights. Damn.

Leisha Hailey and Camila Grey of Uh Huh Her.
One more day left in the city by the bay. Met my favorite band last night, so I’m content and still a bit starstruck. Had a Makers Manhattan at the Lexington Club last night … they knew how to do bourbon right. Patron is only $8 a shot, PBR will set you back $2. I can dig.

Going to see my favorite band tonight — Uh Huh Her.
It’s definitely hipster central out here in San Fran. PBR on tap everywhere. No Buds, Millers or Coors to be found. Yesterday’s highlight: Sonoma winery.

Can you spare any change?

So I’m packing for my trip to San Francisco tomorrow … or at least trying to. I keep finding excuses not to pack … and I have a feeling my friend Laura is responsible for me not getting a lot of packing done last night. Here’s her theory:
You should only give yourself 20 minutes to pack, she says, because the earlier you start, the more likely you are to overpack. Think about it. You throw stuff in one day, throw some more in the next day. You’re never taking stuff out of the suitcase, but always adding in things you probably won’t even use. So I bought her theory, and another round of beers at Dundee last night, but when I woke this morning, I panicked. Was this theory legit, or did she just want me to stay for another beer or four?
Luckily I still have tonight.
