The Good, the Bad, and the Exciting

Well, first of all, the good, Rangers secured their 2nd ALDS Championship to now go on to the World Series, if you want a few suggestions of where to watch the game keep reading. 

The exciting, there are some goings on here in the next weeks. Hooligans will be having their Halloween party on Saturday before, as will RT's. Get dressed up, take some pictures, I would like to see everyone's pictures, and have fun, friend me on Facebook or like DCN on there and upload some good photos of your outings. 

Well there is some bad news that I just remembered, the Rangers will have to defeat the underdogs of the year, The Saint Louis Cardinals. I think this might be our one chance, but they are looking good this year. Hooligans, RT's, The Labb will be having it on all screens I am sure. There is also the Loophole, 2 Charlie's where you can watch, then check out the new deck at 2 Charlies. Personally, I will probably try to catch mine in a few places, so just keep an eye out for me, most likely I will be at Holligans or The Labb for a few, possibly going to try some new places. 

I would like to thank Lauren, Jordan, Erin, Toni (hope I spelled that one right), and all the other staff at Holligans, again, for a good Sunday. Also, a shout out to some new people as well, you know who you are, thank you and had good times and good conversation. Trey you know how to run a good bar, love the food, thanks for a good Rangers game watching.

And as always, I leave you with this, tip your waitstaff, bartenders, and others that serve you well.

I Finally Found My Way

Ok kids, here it is, My day has been riddled with interesting things, first off, the blog title has a reason, the lead singer and bassist of KISS is now married, that's right, Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed tied the knot this weekend. I am a little proud and know that for people that are "dating" and it seems like they will never commit, this is your hopeful story. 

On to the real reason we are here, RT's has recently introduced a new menu, Trey has outdone himself. I know this is hard to believe, but, the new menu items are interesting and fitting. First off, the fried olives are something that is heaven in your mouth, the salty mix with bleu cheese (not misspelled) stuffed olives have a great texture and flavor, they are a little bit interesting at first, but once you figure out what you are tasting, it is a great little appetizer that will make you come back for more. Then there is the the mini corn dogs and the Philly cheese steak sandwich, these are mouth watering awesomeness, my friend had the Philly and had a pudding grin throughout the whole thing. I had the mini corn dogs, they are a great mixture of sweet salty goodness, billed as an appetizer, this can be a meal for those that just want a little something. There are also now flavored popcorn and other interesting items that will make you think twice about ordering the standard fare here. 

We then headed to Lewisville, I know, not Denton, yet I am still about the area, they need love too. There we were at Vitty's where I was able to relax outside during this wonderful weather. DJ Paul Andrews was there hosting a party outside on the patio, fun was being had, all the adults could have fun while the kids could run around and feel apart of the experience. Jordyn, Cliff, Russ, April and the rest of the staff will take care of you if you want to book a party on the patio. They will make your experience a good one. When you are looking for a place to host a party, family get together, or just friends that have been looking for a place to meet and reconnect, this is it. 

Later I went to Hooligans, yes again, yet had a new experience with the staff. They do make you feel at home here, when you feel like no bar will take you in, stop by and they will take you in as a regular from the first day. Tye (sorry if I spelled that wrong), Jordan and the rest of the waitstaff are wonderful and have ideas and suggestions that will make you want to sing the theme to Cheers when you are there, you feel like everyone knows your name.They always have made my experience there a good one and made me feel comfortable.

A great night was had by all and I thank all my servers and bartenders, and remember that tips are the BEST way to thank them.

School's Back from Summer!

Sorry, had to change it around a little. For all you Dentonites out there, there are some great places to go and things to do still, even on the weekend. I know that there are times that you get bored and tired of the same old routine, here are a list of interesting things you can do:

1. Check Midway Mart and find out how many different craft beers there are and try a new one out.. 
2. Go to Beth Marie's and make a new flavor out of what they currently have. 
3. Try the Guiness Ice Cream at The Abbey Inn
4. On Wednesdays, try to see if you can out sing and perform at Andy's with karaoke, on the main stage
5. Check out Metzler's on Londonderry for good Barbeque. 
6. Go to Riprocks and count how many cell phones there are on the wall. 
7. Check out RT's and see if you can find out the exact length of the bar. If you want an extra challenge, see if you can figure out the area. Plus, get some lunch there. Great food.
8. Find out which bar has the smallest bar. (I think I know this one)
9. Try one of the Taquillarias here in town.
10. See if you can get a message up on one of the Frenchy's Trucks.
11. Find out about the Morrison's Corn-Kits sign history. 
12.  Count how many businesses start and shut down in the Golden Triangle Mall 

This should give all you guys some extra things to think about this year and just some interesting tidbits about Denton, TX. And good luck to all the students, new and returning.
