Let’s call happy hour tonight – seriously!

Foosball table

One of the new initiatives that we’re planning on is a monthly happy hour at The Bottletree. Since the weather’s cleared up (mostly), and mainly because I just want to see what happens, I’m calling happy hour for… TONIGHT!!

No, this isn’t the official start, but we thought what the hell (we did mention it on our MySpace profile yesterday).

From 5 – 7 p.m. tonight, venture on over to Avondale and sit out on The Bottletree’s side patio (it’s covered) and enjoy The Terminally Happy Hour.

Right now it’s pretty quiet (but there’s foosball to be played).

If not, we’ll have a couple of announcements tomorrow morning anyway. Enjoy the ride!

We’ve got the schedule (with links to all of the band’s websites/MySpace profiles) up over on Timetable.

BTC First Friday, The Bottletree

Posted on January 31, 2008 | Comments Off

The Birmingham Track Club has decided to try something a little different this year. Their First Friday events (not to be confused with the popular urban networking event series held across the country) will be an opportunity for current and long-time members to mingle while allowing for those interested in joining the group to see what it’s all about – without even having to lace up. Sounds like a cool way to check it out.

Keep your eyes open tomorrow morning

Especially if you’re anywhere near the official race route for the 4^th annual Red Nose Run. Christina talks about this year’s race over on Timetable, but we figured that you’d be interested in knowing what streets you might run into delays on tomorrow morning.

So basically, if you think you’re going to be near the area between 2^nd and 4^th Avenues South and 16^th and 32^nd Streets South tomorrow morning. You could also just check out this cool map that visualizes it for you…

We just figured you’d like to know. The race starts at 7 a.m. and there is a 10 miler involved…
