New Pub in Southern Oklahoma

Being one of those folks who dwells in the northern suburbs, I'm always excited to find somewhere to grab a beer on a good patio of a good restaurant (read: not another chain restaurant). So the Holy Grail has now arrived in Plano.

No really, it's called the Holy Grail Pub. They've got some serious beverages on tap for all you beer snobs. Even better for you late night partiers - it's in Plano, so that means you can stay out until 2 a.m. Woo hoo! Ok, I'm not likely to be out that late, but check out all the deets at www.holygrailpub.com

He's Not Dead? Who Knew?

Ok, so nobody has heard from Maxwell in a while and some of us might have thought he and Lenny Kravitz seemed eerily similar and never appeared together in the same place, but that's not relevant. Apparently Maxwell is back and he will be at the AAC on Monday, Oct. 12 (What is with all these darn Monday concerts?)

Presale is 8/27 10 a.m. through 8/28 10 p.m. Use the password: Night

Have fun.

Free Pizza at Papa John's

But apparently it's only free if you drive a Camaro. As the story goes, the founder sold his Camaro to have the money to start the pizza chain. Years later, after searching high and low for his original car, he finally bought it back. So to celebrate Camaros he's giving a free pizza to everyone who drives one.

Sounds kind of late for a Transformers promo, but whatever. Go eat your free pizza. At least there's one benefit to driving that car.

Free Ice Cream

At the new Paciugo at the Shops of Legacy. Get it today 4:30-7:30 p.m. Yum.

Somebody Must Have Tricked Kelly Clarkson

Good news, Kelly Clarkson is coming to town (sort of). Well, she's coming to town if you consider Winstar Casino to be a DFW venue, but whatever. Didn't she perform at the AAC last time? Well, that's neither here nor there, but this chick is performing on Sunday Sept. 6. Doesn't she know it's Labor Day weekend? WTH?

Anyway, I checked out the site this morning and could have gotten 2 second row tix for just $50 each. If I wasn't going to be sunning myself in Galveston then, I'd think about trekking to southern Oklahoma. Check out the site and get your tix here.

Because Your Thighs Want a Cupcake

It's a cupcake store. . . A mobile cupcake store. Armed with close to 3,000 cupcakes, Dimples Cupcakes Facebooks and Tweets their location so you can get your cupcake fix. They were hanging out near West Village yesterday and ran out of cupcakes! Sign up to follow them so you can get yours ASAP. Word on the street is that they'll be putting a storefront at Willowbend mall pretty soon and will have a huge kick off party complete with FREE CUPCAKES!

Do you think they named it after the dimples you'll get from smiling while eating a cupcake or from the other dimples (known as cellulite)?
