« My review: Boomer's on the Hill | Main | Baltimore's best bar name? »
I'm going out on a (top secret) nightlife column that will blow open this city's club scene once and for all. And I'm going to watch the Ravens pre-season game.
Heh. I'll share more with y'all on Monday.
What about you? Doing anything fun this weekend? Talk to me!

Allan- I'm in the same boat with my wife (teacher). Whatever you do, get out of the house!!! You know she'll be a different woman in a few short weeks. Live while you can!!
My formula: ... find a new bar/restaurant that you haven't been to for late night apps/drinks.
Depending on budget, add dinner, movie, etc. I find the further away the spot is from where we live, (and hence the less chance of running into people you know) the better. But don't go too far or she'll fall asleep/pass out before you get home. And know body wants that.
We hit up restaurant week in DC this week. Well worth the drive.

On Saturday, I'm at Richmond for a wedding?
Anyone know of any good bars in downtown Richmond?

Tonight i will continue to regret last night's dance with my kegerator, possibly go to Little Havana. Saturday I'm going to a sweet bonfire party at a horse farm.
AND ALSO I'M STARTING A BATCH OF BACON VODKA Y'ALL

"You know she'll be a different woman in a few short weeks. Live while you can!!"
Amen, brother. Thanks for the tips!

Here's where you'll end up Drew, talking off some awful bartender's ear about how you wept when you realized you'd miss the soiree.
You enjoy grinding out those $4.75 20 ouncers, Sally
Applebee's Bar and Grill
5400 W Broad St, Richmond, VA

Oh, and another wedding.

Purple Patio from 3 pm on Saturday.
And oddly I too am without plans for my Sunday and Monday off. What to do, what to do?
Evan- you are welcome to stop by Mothers and I'd be happy to sample your bacon vodka. :)
