FEBRUARY AT THE DIAMONDBACK
big love. big tvs. |
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY for FEB. 5, 6, 7
Due to the inclement weather, the Diamondback will, of course, remain OPEN. Then again, if our power lines snap and we have no stove to cook on well, that will be a different story. We invite all mothers, snow dads, adventurous adults and everyone else to join us this weekend at the Diamondback so we can make life fun. Phillip and Jason, our professional bartenders will be ready for you tonight at 5:00 pm. We invite all professional therapists to come post up at the bar as well. We might have some temporary snow insanity on our hands.

Greetings!
 Going crazy?Yes, many of you are waking up this morning seeing the white, fluffy snow and are now muttering expletives under your breath. Perhaps something like, "$%&*! snow!" And many of you have already been in the house with small children for oh, this would make six days. Moms, you have earned a month off and a trip to Turks and Caicos to have your back massaged. But since that just isn't going to happen, we invite you and your family to the Diamondback tonight for hot chocolate, brunswick stew and double martinis. Maybe triple since everyone is going to have to walk home anyway. Head on over and bring cards, games, Nintendos DS's in and we'll just make a great night of it, okay.
There's so much happening this month, we don't even know where to start
February is a wonderful month for lovers, late-night folks and sports fans. It's going to be action-packed around here. On Sunday, February 14, we'll be having our annual Valentine's celebration, and yes, we do like to go all out. Our chefs are already planning a delicious, romantic dinner. Where else can you go for chocolate, champagne, gourmet food and TV?! Reservations highly recommended (336-722-0006). On February 16, please join us for our Mardi Gras Madness party. This is our annual "Make-A-Wish Celebrity Fundraiser," and we'll have King Cake, free beads, free masks and other fun party favors. We want to encourage everyone to get big tables together and come out for this. And special thanks to our Mardi Gras Queen - Ellen Christian.
 Don't forget: the Winter Olympics are coming up February 12 and we are psyched. Ice skating, hockey, snowboarding, luge and more. There's nothing like having a 60" HD TV when Shaun White is doing double McTwist 1260s (and yes, that is his new trick).
And lastly, don't forget to head on over for game nights. We have some great basketball this month, including: Duke at Carolina on Wednesday, February 10 (game time 9:00 pm) followed by Carolina at Wake on Saturday, February 27 (game time 2:00 pm). More on the games below and on the calendar.
Thank You for Making Us Your Snow Destination
We loved seeing everyone in their Eskimo uniforms last week. It was a party every night with sledders and fun neighbors. We had a group of 21 people one night who just came on over from Arbor Road still covered in snow. We liked that. Made us feel like we were in Colorado, living the good life at an apres ski chalet. Looks like yet another snowy weekend and we'll be right here with a warm fire going and Phillip and Jason, our professional bartenders ready to make it right.
OOOs and XXXs,
Thanks everyone and stay warm. Moms with young kids, hang in there. Our bar opens at 5:00 pm.

February 21 (Sunday) - Ice Hockey - U.S.A. vs. Canada

Ellen C. will be there as our official Mardi Gras Queen and she will be receiving a beautiful diamond studded tiara (don't worry - we won't need insurance on this one.) We wish we had an ermine cape laying around somewhere... oh well. Liz V., thank you for your glorious reign last year.

Why yes, the Diamondback does offer free Wi-fi for all of you who are feeling a little office-cabin-fever. Bring your computer on in anytime.
 Don't Forget Our Nightly Drink Specials
The Diamondback offers drink specials every night of the week. They're special because, well, they're cheaper. And in this economy that's a very good thing. Saving So Your Children Can Go to Harvard?
Tuesday nights are THE NIGHT for clever, money-saving parents. Kids under 12 can eat for just $2.00. That's right, two bucks. Two kids, $4.00. Fifteen kids, well, you get the point. The Diamondback is proud to serve healthy choices for children, and we know Mrs. Obama would be proud.
