Put it on your calendar, folks! More information to come, but my old friends at ImprovBoston in Inman Square are making the big move to a beautiful new location in Central Square. To help them out, we're going to offer our Monday Club Bar for them to convert into a new stage for an evening of Improv and improvisational cuisine. The basics are as follows:
When: Sunday, November 18th, 2007
Time: Donors and Groaners show at 7:00 p.m. followed by the 8:15 p.m. showing of the IB Touring Company. Dinner will start being served all night long at 5:00 p.m.
What: A $50 Prix Fixe menu will be offered all evening ($15 of each Prix Fixe will be donated to IB towards their move; this, of course, excludes tax and gratuity). If you're looking to come just for the 8:00 p.m. show, that's great! Cost of admission for the show without dinner will be $15. There will be lots of great aptly named funny/funky cocktails to be had, and a great laugh all night long.
For more information, please write me at operations@upstairsonthesquare.com and I'll give you more details as things develop.

Lemon Verbena
Steve infused some grain alcohol with lemon verbena and we've been playing around with it. I reduced it down to 38% alcohol with rock candy syrup, mixed with some iced tea and ran through the syphon. I loved the result but I think I might go even crazier and try to reduce it even more and maybe freeze it. Keep checking for updates.

99 Bottles of Beer on the Bad Girl Plaid Walls
Who doesn't love beer? I love beer. A lot.
If you love beer, too, you should come to our Out of Your Gourd Beer Dinner. It's a dinner. With beer. Thusly, the best dinner ever.
As a little back story to this event, Offshore Ale has been a staple beer behind our bar for ages now. That's why when I learned that my good friend, Joe Cleinman, recently became the Master Brewer at Offshore's Martha's Vineyard location I knew we had to do something. Joe and I grew up together in Oneonta, New York, where he, his sister, and I all worked at the illustrious culinary giant known as the Dairy Queen (it really is the crowning acheivement in "ice milk" when you think about it). Anyway, here are all the specs on what hopes to be the best springboard into OktoberFest ever! Come and enjoy it with us:
Out of Your Gourd Beer Dinner
Sunday, October 7th – 6:00 pm
We’re out of our collective gourds, so of course we love to share an autumn meal with Offshore Brewery Company from Martha’s Vineyard. Offshore is an artisanal beer company that produces some of the best seasonal beers in New England. We’ll be presenting a delicious four course dinner (see the website for details) paired with four great beers.
$49 (4 courses, 4 beers) Call 617-864-1933 for reservations.

...and all that Jazz!
Sorry about the cheesy title, sometimes these canned lines get to the point better than good writing.
In any case, last night I took Emily and Lishansky to see Miss Tess and the Bon Ton Parade live. They are playing here on Wednesday and I just wanted to post a link to their site and their myspace page. I don't know how many of you readers have heard of them but my gut feeling is that if you haven't, you will. I imagine most of you will hear them on the radio someday, maybe when you're driving, or at work. A lucky few will hear them in the Monday Club Bar this Wednesday right around 10:00pm, with a cocktail in hand. Ella and Billie and Duke would be proud.

Dinner Dances UpComing at UpStairs!
Autumn is officially here, and to kick it off well we have another two dates with our friends Bill & Bo Winiker and their Orchestra. Here's all the info, as well as a few photos of the band with our fearless leaders, Mary-Catherine Deibel and Deborah Hughes. Hope to see you there!
The Classic Dinner Dance: Dance the Night Away
to the Music of Bo and Bill Winiker Orchestra
Thursday Nights this fall…
Thursday, September 27, AND Thursday, October 25
No cover to diners; $20 for non-diners
Dancing to begin around 9 pm
Probably our most popular event, we’ve been quick to book Bo and Bill for Thursday nights this fall. We’ll clear away the tables in the Monday Club Bar, strike up the band, and dance until we drop. The old-fashioned glamour of a dinner dance with all your favorite tunes—from swing to the fox trot. Come with friends, come single, or bring Prince or Princess Charming. Just come and twirl with us in this most romantic of evenings. Be prepared to cha-cha-cha until the coach turns back into a pumpkin.
