A Belated Happy Festivus.
Yes, I am the guy who remembers that on December 23, 2011 we celebrate the secular holiday of Festivus. Well, I am actually not that guy, but we have a server who IS that guy.
In addition to a myriad of references to womprats, “doesn’t that make it our time” and pointing out that indeed, the Lama is indeed a big hitter, he pointed out to me that last week was indeed the celebration of Festivus.
Everyone complains about New Year’s Eve.
If you have no plans or (what is more likely) your plans are lousy – we are serving a seven course dinner emphasizing traditional Mediterranean New Year’s Eve Dishes for a comparatively measly 85 dollars. A sparkling wine pairing finishes with a vintage, grower champagne can round out the meal. The article below from New York Magazine gets it mostly right.

The Festivus Pole
It’s made from aluminum. Very high strength-to-weight ratio.
Our outside facade is finished (picture above) – except for the aluminum, which is driving Caleb crazy.
Musings aside, I wish you a healthy and happy 2012. Thank you to all who have come to our store and been so supportive.
