FAC May 4th

Greetings all,

Well big news in the arena of imbibing and geekness (you are all geeks, face it). Last weekend Steven and I went to "Geeks Who Drink Trivia" at Coopersmith's on Sunday. It was awesome and our team ('Legion of Doom') took second ( losing first by ONE point.) This was because of distractions like me falling out my chair while I was overexcited about obscure theatre knowledge that I possess. And when Giganta falls, people notice. Kelley and Steven and I are going this coming weekend, so this is kind of an dual invite, come to awesome trivia on Sunday too!

Now to the meat and potatoes (not a medieval vegetable): FAC!

We had a brilliant suggestion to go to Odell's for FAC, which will be short because they close at 6. they have fabulous beers and we can sample some "UNO MAS" or "DOUBLE BROWN". I do not know what those are yet, I am excited to find out.

SO we will go to Odell's for a beer or two, then proceed to the vicinity of THE BEAN CYCLE (coffee shop) to peruse some lovely art by college students (and someone we know!)

After that there are numerous bars available for our drinking pleasure, including Surfside 7, the Vault, East Coast, Elliot's, and so on.....

BEAN CYCLE is at 144 N College, just a couple of doors South of Surfside.
