The Year of the Ox is upon us and 2008, the year of the Rat is gone. Retrospection using the Chinese Zodiac is sometimes a little scary I guess since one of the dominating forces in my life during 08 was rats. It seemed to everyone that it was a long year so congratulations on making it to 09. I hope its a good year for you and yours and his and hers, and this and that, death to the god damned rats. Better Days had a cool new years party hosted by our friends Electric Street Level who always deliver. We like to do the hippy hippy shake alot so a night filled with these dudes jammin felt great. I for one had to much fun and just got back to feeling normal(ha) yesterday. Just in time for the annual staff party which requires some real drinking muscles and stamina. The staff and honored guests dined on a delicious meal of broccoli, fresh garden salad, pasta primavera, and chocolate cake. Followed by about six cases of beer, five bottles of wine, and much liquor for dessert. Drunkest employee went to Sheriff Denny who had enough of a party to be totally confused about where he was, what time it was, and the fact that his girlfriend ditched him three hours prior. He demanded for almost an hour to be allowed to strip naked and was quite insulted that I refused. Sorry if I really don't think its fun to hang around my drunk naked male co-workers....sorry Denny but its just not my bag. The Captain gets an easy second place for lapping up the beers like a cat does fresh milk. Captain doesn't drink much cause he's busy keeping track of the town's party crowd so a half dozen beers and a few bombs had him feeling no pain. We had a blast, no animals died to fuel our selfish pursuits, and nobody drove home drunk. Adios '08. 2009 is shaping up to be a real financial struggle but we've got plans to thwart that plan created by corporate Nazi's. I'm quite convinced that in order to truly screw the public over they feel it necessary to predict things as to disguise the reality: the people with the real power and money have royally screwed up, they plan to have the public pay for these errors and blame it on a recession when we all wind up with less cash on hand. Its a trick and here is Better Day's Three Point Plan for 2009-
$2 Beers- its the best price in town(excluding clubs) and were keeping it that way
Clean Local Foods - we plan to expand our effort to use quality local products when possible. This not only will improve our quality but it will help our local economy.
Great Live Music- no matter how poor we get they can't take it away. Look for some great returning and new bands this year along with some fun outdoor street party's.
