mothers monday mania. 5 for 5-dollar

Lauren — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 19:57:54 +0000

so my plan is to go out every night this week. in the spirit of college and budgets the plan is to spend as little as possible. so we went to mothers for a quick 5-dollar bucket of miller or coors lite. 5 for 5! so cheap and a mix with monday night football attracts a strange crowd of people most of whom i had never met before (very nice).

lots of tvs hanging around so your sports quota will be fulfilled, i know they play soccer, rugby and australian rules football so theres always some sort of sport going on. its a nice change on a monday night. we stayed for a few buckets and then went on over to 101 cantina.

the atmosphere was a little different there, with a huge crowd of frat kids and sorority girls and we left pretty promptly and probably need to be a bit more intoxicated when we go there next time. c u tomorrow ladies and gents.

salty sundays.

Lauren — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:05:54 +0000

so as the epic weekend was coming to a close i needed a bit of a ‘calm down’ to get myself ready for manic mondays. so we settled into getting a few quiet ones at salty dog saloon. good drink specials with happy hour all day sunday, $4.95 pitchers of yuengling and yuengling light all the time.

gotta say the jukebox was cranking some interesting tunes and the three of us killed 7 pitchers and started feeling pretty good. hangover this morning was not so exciting in ethics class, but i mean mondays suck anyway.

the atmosphere was chill but there was an interesting few characters there. named robot man, light man and rocky balboa. thats what we called them. well one of them got a bit fresh with alex…. and a little comedic action ensued. i’m excited to see if we can start salty sundays cranking.

watch out boys.

decent exposure: boca fiesta

lizle — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:12:51 +0000

as all you grubbeaters are aware saturday night was a pretty grand night…sans disco injuires and sam’s stitches. although i would love to go into detail about the raging (yes i said raging) dance party that took place at neon liger my job is simple…review food. so with out further a due here is what i think about boca fiesta. it rocks. simple as that. two generous pitchers of margaritas, free chips and salsa, nachos and veggie tacos with two sides all for 11.25. who wouldn’t love it if only for the price. if that isn’t enough the food is actually quite good. the menu although not extensive has something for everyone. being a vegetarian I am very picky when choosing where to dine, and this place is veggie heaven. not only to they offer the normal veggie taco/burrito they also have tempeh and tvp which is awesome in my book. so boca works like this you can get either two tacos(soft or hard), a burrito or a taco salad. choose one and pick your fillings, for the carnivores options include chicken, pork, steak, fish and check this gator…yes for real. on a side note every month they have a special protein and any one that has a craving for wild boar well october is your lucky month. ok back to the menu. vegetarian choices include tempeh, tvp or veggie. after that you get to choose two of three sides which are salad, rice and beans or corn on the cob. if the taco / burrito/ taco salad is enough for you go down the ala carte road which makes your meal even cheaper. that is usually my route of choice seeing as complimentary chips and salsa are brought to you once you sit down. now that i have gone over most of the food, lets get to the goods… alcohol. every time i have visited i have gotten a pitcher of margaritas, at 18 bucks why not? they come pretty heavy on the tequila so it seems like more then fair price. if tequila shots or margaritas aren’t your thing no worries they have a pretty extensive beer menu as well as wine (how classy). so all in all boca fiesta is pretty awesome, and what makes it even better is it sits right in the center of downtown gainesville so its very convenient for a late night dinner if you plan on going out after. so stop on by Saturday night… im sure i’ll be there with my pitcher getting ready to dance at liger. cheers, liz.

new word grubbeaters

hello all. this is diego bringing you up on some perspective on the previous stories. i have to reiterate how socially backwards it is what happened to sam. it is only for our sake to relate to this and obliterate it from being the reality that it is. it is all in good fun when accidents happen in the rage of the night, but conscious malevolence cannot be tolerated. we have to think about the motives for this sort of treatment, and solve the missing links that create futile situations.. if it is by education, exposure, or mere acknowledgement. noise from what was a great night.
on a more positive note, the night that led to these happenings cannot be described as dull. neon liger at spankk once again delivered with commendable music and charged atmosphere. as a fellow partier and beer-lover, if you are looking for intense dancing and $2.50 domestic beers, this is the place to go. staff is half great half not, but i guess everyone has their place. this party is specially good for those with a broad taste, and dancing with the different groups will satisfy your every need. open patio out back great for conversation and shenanigans. next time definitely calls for a group theme.
