The folks that own the restaurant were SUPER nice to the dancers who showed up last time. (And it's FREE, people!) It would be great if we could get a good group of dancers; they'll move the tables out of the way for us and everything!

Hope to see some more folks out there!

Roll-Call!!!

Who's attending this??

Man, Superbad comes out that night... I'm already booked. Does anybody know about how often these guys play down there? They're awesome.

I had passed this place dozens of times and always wrote it off as a tourist joint, but it is a friendly neighborhood joint kind of like a German version of Manuel's Tavern. I ordered the sausage appetizer for five bucks and I felt like I was taking them for a ride. I got a big sausage, a huge side of cole slaw and a big hunk of German bread. Since when do you get sides with an appetizer? I also had Pecan coffee which was the best ever and I can't find it anywhere. They had a German Beer list that was awe inspiring.
Last time, they had the trained pig from the Stone Mountain Animal Show over as a special guest. She weighed 400lbs and wore a clown collar and novelty sunglasses. She oinked for us while the band played played "Old McDonald" and everyone got to pet her. I almost freaked out. The owner liked our dancing so much that she even gave Gina and Kat a free vase or beer mug or whatever.
So don't show up expecting a free vase or an oinking pig, but that's the kind of place this is. Fun.

I hope to be there... the only thing stopping me will be the atlanta traffic!!!

I hope a lot of folks can come out to support the band tomorrow night!!! (I'll be out of town, but I need representation, dangit!)
