Thursday, May 20: The ABC Island Horror show Lost, loved for some reason by our very own Jim Newell [I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS, OKAY? -- Ed.], is ending its long run this Sunday. Tear. Tear. This is devastating news for Jim and others who like holograms, aliens, plane crashes, and fighting polar [...]
Wednesday, May 12: What kind of event offers free drinks but doesn’t ask for donations to charity in return? We just don’t know. But if you sign up for the “What’s The Deal” listserv, you can get two free Smirnoff vodka drinks (or Miller Lite) at the Bottom Line tonight from 6-8:30PM, just for showing [...]
Saturday, May 1: The Kentucky Derby is a very important sporting/drinking event for certain Americans.

Saturday, April 17: All-you-can-eat oysters and all-you-can-drink beer. These are two very good things, and you can enjoy both at the 3rd Annual Oyster Fest at Hank’s Oyster Bar. Tickets are $75. [Hank's Oyster Bar]
Today through Saturday, April 10: Yesterday was Tartan Day, a day that celebrates Scottish Americans, and who doesn’t love Scottish Americans? Huzzah for them, let’s eat. The British gastropub Againn is serving Haggis (a supposedly delicious mixture of sheep’s heart, liver and lungs and oatmeal) for $30 AND Rob Roys and Tartan Swizzles cocktails for [...]
Thursday, April 1: Hate your job? That sucks. But, hey, because misery loves company, workplace vent site IHateMy9to5.com is hosting a vent session/comedy hour at Wonderland on Thursday night. No, there will not be a giant piñata that looks like your boss, but there will be food and drink specials from 6:30PM-7:30PM. Hopefully your 9-5 [...]
Think what you will about DC, but the city does have at least one thing going for it: the Cherry Blossoms. They’re so pink and pretty, and even if it means thousands of out-of-towners are going to flock to DC this weekend, to be annoying and take photos of every flower they see, it also [...]
Thursday, March 25: It just keeps getting easier and easier to save the world: Why, now all you have to do is drink beer SLOWLY, and hey, look at that, a better America! On Thursday, make the world a better place by going to the aptly titled “Drink Beer and Save the World” event at [...]
Wednesday March, 10: Now that men groping men is a Democrat-sanctioned activity, there’s really no reason not to go to the Arlington Young Democrats’ 9th Annual Date Auction. A $5 entrance fee is good for a bid card, a raffle ticket, and hours and hours of sexy tickle time with wonderful NoVa kids. The fun [...]
Today, Wednesday, March 3 through Sunday, March 14: You may have almost died on numerous occasions in your youth from drinking too much tequila, but you’re all grown up now — in theory, anyway — so you should be able to enjoy it in a more refined way. This is why you should go to [...]

So America fell apart yesterday when the man, the legend, Scott Brown, made a nakedly Socialist move to let there be jobs (but just a few, eventually) and forgot all about the pain and blood of the righteous, real-American teabaggers, who did not elect him to help people do things. To honor the man of [...]
Olympics: The Winter Olympics are in full force, but no one seems to appreciate ever since that nice Georgian Luger died, in a sport. If you feel some patriotic desire (be it for America or Georgia) to watch the games, head to Asia Nine where any of the lounge’s bar snacks are only a buck [...]
The ancient celebration of boobs, beads, and booze affectionately referred to as “Fat Tuesday” is TODAY. What’s supposed to be the last night of eating rich, fatty foods before the Lent fast begins is in reality yet another excuse for people of all denominations to imbibe, with the added bonus of boobs and beads.
