Today, I am finally making my first trip to Hot Doug's. The "Game of the Week" is Ostrich Sausage with Cumin Mustard Cream, Tabasco Olives and Aged Piave Cheese. Sounds delicious and you can throw in some duck fat fries! Head over to the New York Times website and you can hear their new album High Violet streaming in it's entirety. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
Happy Opening Day! I am cautiously optimistic for my White Sox this season, but it's a long season so we will see. I had a pretty chill weekend, but I did get out and try a new beer on Friday night. The beer engine at Map Room had Thornbridge Brewery's Jaipur IPA pouring. Unfortunately, they ran out, but I enjoyed the the one glass that I had. Don't forget that they announce the Lollapalooza lineup tomorrow. Here is some news and a video to get your Monday moving.
I've been thinking about running a Friday news segment for a while, but couldn't think of a name that I liked until last night. I was introduced to The Mighty Boosh by my friends in Walter Meego a few years ago and thought it was hilarious. The off the wall British comedy was recently released in the US on DVD. I definitely recommend checking it out.
You have until 11:59pm ET tonight to request your Phish summer tour tickets. Thanks to everyone who has read my blog. It's hard to believe, but it's been roughly seven months since I started S&SS. I have some ideas on expanding, so stay tuned. If you have any suggestions, just drop me a line. Don't forget that you can follow me on Twitter. Without further adieu, I bring you Thank Boosh It's Friday!
