UT v Missouri

It always has to be listed. UT is away, but catch the game anywhere and you’ll have fun. Aussie’s Volleybar will have the game on and bikini-clad vball players, and is celebrating its 20th anniversary with food & drink specials like $1 margaritas (make mind a double for $2) and $2 Miller Lite pints.

Colonel Mustard’s Birthday!

OK, so not actually Colonel of Clue, but my dear friend Ry Ry Musty el Mustardo has had a big week: not only did he close on his first home (!!!) but he’s turning the big … well … 2-8? Not really sure. Irrelevant. Relevance is that it’s his birthday! Watch out, West Sixth, we’re coming for some jaeger jaeger jaeger bombs … love you Ry!
