Christmas Is Getting Closer

Well, I've got another beer dinner tonight, this one at Cregeen's Pub in Argenta. It's beer tasting Arkansas style and they're pairing wild game with the local brewery, Diamond Bear. Sounds awesome to me. If you wonder just how many of these beer dinner/beer tasting thingies I go to a year, the answer is as many as I can. Too bad there's 2 in 1 night tonight or I'd be adding another one, but this one looks better. Check out the menu:

Trout and Cheese - Diamond Bear Southern Blonde
Elk Salad - DB Pale Ale
Venison Wraps - DB Rocktoberfest
Duck Oscar w/ Roasted Potatoes - DB Presidential IPA
Blackberry Cobbler & Ice Cream – DB Paradise Porter
After Dinner Cocktail - DB Two Term Double IPA

I mean give me a break here, that's making my mouth water already. I do wish there were some possum or squirrel but you can't have it all I guess.

It's also happens to be the next to last day of new releases before Christmas, so things are getting a little thin. Not a lot of CDs out today and none that I'm interested in. No new video games I like either, but on the DVD side there are a few things of interest to me, so here's some Christmas gift ideas:

* Metallica ~ "Orgullo, Pasión, y Gloria: Tres Noches En La Ciudad de Mexico" DVD (recorded live in Mexico City... available in the Metallica store)

* The Hangover DVD (see blog here)

* Inglourious Basterds DVD (Quentin Tarantino's violent Nazi orgy... stars Brad Pitt)

* Taking Woodstock DVD (a comedy from director Ang Lee)

* Robot Chicken Season 4 DVD
