Schadenfreude

Clear Ultra Lounge

Chic

Classy

Contemporary

Closing?

Just shoot me…

if I ever look as old as David Allan Coe.

This is no bull!

I was reading about Barenaked Ladies singer Steve Page and his cocaine bust this morning and I noticed something.

He was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree, a class C felony in New York state. That’s a pretty complicated crime, I mused. I wonder how many degrees there are?

This Stella’s for you?

What will be the far-reaching consequences if InBev is successful in it’s merger with Anheuser-Busch?

For one thing, the ad-guys will have to come up with a new jingle. On the other hand, if the Belgians have any sense of humor at all, they’ll keep the singing frogs just to piss off their buddies to the south.

On a more serious note, what are the implications for Dallas?

Here’s an interesting item…

The WWW is ubiquitous. For those of you that consider a lounge a “lifestyle”, that means it’s everywhere. I noticed something the other day that I have to call a first. On the website of Clear Ultra Lounge, which is very slick, by the way, maybe the word I’m looking for is slippery, But I digress….

One couldn’t help but notice…

that Downtown was a little quieter this last weekend. I for one am glad that downtown Dallas was not considered a 4th of July destination.

Even our infamous ultralounges weren’t doing their normal business. Not bad, mind you, but not the normal boom. With one exception, that is.

Clear Ultra Lounge, maintaining a current trend, seemed particularly desolate.

A Slick Way to Fool TABC

You know, it’s illegal to over-serve a patron in a bar. The bar owner can avoid liability if the bartender is TABC certified and the owner/manager is not personally aware of the violation or does not order the bartender to over-serve. I think it would be criminally negligent for the owner/manager not to be aware of his employees actions.

New Dart Train Scam

I swear, if the homeless people spent as much time pursuing a real job as they spend dreaming up schemes to separate people from their spare change, they wouldn’t be homeless.
