Greetings!
 So this is how it all begins, a new era of newsletterability. It seems like just last week that I was sending these things out using nothing more than Microsoft Word and Outlook, the modern equivalent of ash and papyrus tied to the foot of a pigeon. I cannot be certain that all future NL's will be in this form, only that the birds have left the coop, and I now must rely solely on my own ability to traverse the information highway, armed with nothing more than my knapsack and oversized thumb........Oh yeah, Kate seems to like the changes!

TRIVIA THURSDAY'S
Quite Possibly the Most Revered Trivia Competition of It's Kind- At the Grape
So here's how it stands, The
Gators (Led by Ann Anderson, whom has yet to wear the coconut bra she won),
have won three out of the past four weeks, only being bested by The Brain Trust ( Led by Terry
Jorgenson, who also refuses to wear his coconut bra) Now, I'm not trying
to stir the pot or anything, heaven forbid, but there seems to be a bit of
trash talkin' going on out there. The
Gators, comfortably situated atop their thrown, noses slightly raised, have
thrown down the gauntlet, they say they can't be beat, especially by "The
Drained Brains" (Their words, not mine).
Meanwhile, The Brain Trust, ala Namath, have been overheard guaranteeing
a victory. Wendell, whom has remained
quiet on the sidelines, has been spotted with an encyclopedia and an atlas, and seems a bit confident
now that the Powers' are back from vacation.
The Howe's, it has been rumored, are planning on making a return to the
arena this evening, they, as I'm sure you all already know, were part of the
Championship team that unseated the Gator's two weeks ago (cue the theme from
Rocky). Yeah, things are heating up,
come on down and join us for a nice friendly game of Trivia, the prizes are
always......interesting. The first round
starts at 7:00.

THE REST OF THE STORY
Friday, KC and the
Sunshine Band will be performing here at The Grape, gates open at 7:30 it
is general admission so get here early and......Oops, sorry. Heh-heh.
What I meant to say is that, this Friday evening, we here at The Grape,
will be open and offering some very nice wines by the glass. We'll also be featuring over 40 imported and
domestic beers and our world famous Chocolate Banana Colada, so you should join
us. That's what I meant to say.......
Saturday, a bunch of long-haired hippies are planning on
storming the downtown, so I need everyone to grab they're pitchforks and clubs
and meet me on Indiana,
we're gonna have ourselves a.....wait a sec...hold up... I think I did it again...Yep,
my bad. What I was trying to say is that
this Saturday we are having our annual Hot
August Night's Party and everyone's invited to join in the fun. All the stores will be open late, there'll be
live music and entertainment downtown, the restaurants and bars will be running
some great specials, and we of course will be here to act as your own private
oasis. In addition, to celebrate the 40th
anniversary of Woodstock, there will be a bunch
of bands performing all day long at The Athens
Theater, the first one is scheduled to begin at 1:00. That's what I was trying to say, so go ahead
and leave the pitchforks at home, for now, and join us for the festivities.
There are really good wines at very good prices right
now. As I mentioned before, we are
making room for the new vintages and therefore have to.......HEY THERE! HERE AT BOB DANCE ELUSIVE GRAPE WE'RE MOVING
WINE BY THE TRUCKLOAD, WE'VE GOT CASTLE ROCK CABERNET FOR $9.00, HALF BOTTLES
OF HAHN MERITAGE FOR $6.00, CADE SAUVIGNON BLANC, ONLY $14 REGULARLY $30, IT
ALL HAS TO GO, WHAT DO WE SAY GRACE, "ELUSIVE
GRAPE, WHERE EVERYBODY DRINKS!".....Wow....sorry again, I must have fallen
asleep with the TV on or something, man I absolutely despise those commercials!
(Note to self: No more tacos before
bedtime) Anyway, we have a bunch of
wines at greatly reduced prices with more coming in. We should be receiving some Efeste Ceidlegh
Syrah today that we normally sell for $45, it will be $28, and we still have
the Martinelli Pinot Noir, regularly $70 now $35. Have a Great Weekend!
