There is a guy in my office, a French one, and at least 16 times a day he says .." Seriously?!?! I mean..." ( followed by sometimes nothing else) 
This phrase stolen from the mouth of a 14-year old would usually be annoying, but strangely has it's own charm and has rubbed off on me.

SO When I read today's UD to see that Cache/Hidden/Schatzi has changed AGAIN.... (AGAIN PEOPLE!)

I had to say...

" Seriously?!?! I mean..."

NOW ( all together now) we are calling it 31Ten, which will help you to remember the address on Main Street where this joint is located. They've dumped the dining-experience all together and turned it into a giant lounge. This place always did have abundant & ambient (albiet shaded)  outdoor seating, so with a 5-7 Happy Hour, I am willing to give it a try.

Open Wed- Saturday for starters...lets give it s shot.

One guess!
( HINT: title above) 
I don't give a flying fry pan about the super bowl. If the Super Bowl were a rude dude at a bar, I wouldn't even bother to throw my drink in his face. BOOOOOOOOOOOORING.
Sunday I will be happily on the patio for DD's birthday, blissfully drinking prosecco and scarfing pizza and butterscotch pot de creme.
HA
So There.
and so... if you feel the same, and deep down, I know you do... there are some KILLER happy hour deals happening on Sunday that do not revolve around body-crunching and whistle noises green-glowing TV.
For instance: IT IS GOING TO BE 79 ON SUNDAY- so go up the coast to Gladstones and get your seaside sip in the sun on with $5 shots and $10 pitchers from noon to 3pm.
Are you hungry? There will be free burgers and dogs at the Victorian in Santa Monica, ignore the outdoor TV's (really people? are you well?) and go down the Basement Tavern for a $5 shot of whiskey.
Pourtal, on SMBLVD will be serving $5 wine and beer but, they will have TVs so... I am begining to question their upbringing.

enjoy.

You are so transparent, no one believes you are sick today... phoning it in on a 76 degree Friday. Yeah, right, it's not our first time at the rodeo cowgirl.
To boot, you're hungover, from that horrible happy hour at Elevate downtown, where you consumed  poisonous low grade sake and cat-food quality tuna. ICK.

GET OFF THE COUCH, get on your cruiser and roll down to World Cafe where from 2:00-7:00 they are serving $5 Blueberry Margaritas and $6 plates of Silver Dollar Blueberry Pancakes at the bar.
You'll be feeling berry good in no time!

Team, if you lived 24 hours in my shoes, you'd know why I've been absent from my sweet snarky boozy blog, of late. It's not because I don't love you it's just that... I'm getting my MASTERS!
(No, not in alcohol sciences, thank you very much!) Its so damn hard to draft while you've got a drippy drink in your hand, much less draw straight lines- ya know?
That being said- I miss you and I KNOW you've missed me.
The weather has been outrageously warm ( Sorry East Coast)  and snowing sunshine, which has been making Cheech and I itch for the ol' rooftop.
In fact, I think we might hit the Standard Downtown on Wednesday and of course, HIGH!
Its going to be 80 again this weekend so dig it:

HIGH has made drinking with a view affordable, so get your booty of the roof!

Sunday Funday Join us every Sunday from 1pm to 10pm for $5 Mimosas - OJ, Passionfruit, Elderberry or Strawberry, $5 Beer specials, $5 featured Sunday Funday Shots & other drink specials, $20 bottles of Champagne and 25% off food.

As far as I am concerned, EVERY bar in Venice is a bikini bar... but it seems we now have an OFFICIAL one. As I was waiting for my salad pizza at Abbots this week I picked up the Beachhead and found this gem of an advertisement. Really loving that Hot Spot font!!!

Now, I'm confused:

A. Are these strippers or just gals who rock around in bikinis?- Cause, really, you can get all of these advertised activities at the beach.
B. Are the sporting events televised or are the bikini girls actually performing sports,  ala jello wrestling, etc?
C. Loving the double entendre of " Best Tacos in Town" -  I assume these are NOT from the Taco Bell next door.
D. Would it be appropriate for us to WEAR our biknis when we go?

Boggling, right?
Curious aren't you?
Go ahead, print this page, clip the ad and LET ME KNOW....
