Feeling a lot like a 2010 CeeLo Green. We see the Rams prepping for the game we should have won, and weāre like āReff Youuuuu.ā Itās been a long couple of weeks. This was supposed to be THE WEEKEND. But the reality is the Rams and refs and the N-eff-L pulled a Kanye on us and took the mic away and stole the moment. Since football fans everywhere, and even the NFL, agrees that the no call was a bad call, weāre on call to tell everyone to pick yourself up and just boycott it. Forget that game. It doesnāt exist. Itās like getting out of the CBD in a timely fashion after work. Itās nice to want things. Take your mind off it with our planner and some knowledge droppings.
For obvious reasons ā Boycott Bowl
On Sunday, instead of sinking into your couch and eating chips from the feedbag strapped to your face to consume your feelings, get out and join the city for the ānot watch partyā of the Super Droll. Boycott Bowl is Sunday on Fulton Street, and Choppa is going to be there along with Kermit Ruffins, Flow Tribe and more. Hereās the deets.
Move the office to the bar
Ditch the coffee air if you dare. Crawl on down to a bar thatās not far and get work done like a rockstar. When youāre working on those emails, look at the selection of ales. Weāre partial to the changing workspace, but weāre not suggesting you get ****faced — but these bars to work in beat the walls of the typical rat race.
Not a horse, of course of course ā Exotic animal racing
Horses are too normal of a racing experience for us. The Fair Grounds took a more exotic approach to racing over the weekend. It wouldnāt be a stretch ostrich to say this was a wild affair. With jockeys riding Joe camels and earning their stripes on zebras, itās something you have to see to believe.
