  • Are Parking Lot Parties a Southern Thing?

    I think they might be… if not, I don’t care. I’m still going anyway.

    Just some real quick info for my Buckhead (official site) fans out there:

    Tomorrow evening (as in Thursday, April 24th) Buckhead Saloon – my favorite bar on the face of this planet… OBVIOUSLY – is kickin’ off one of the most ridiculous weekends in Raleigh (Beer Festival, TBMF, Salute Our NC Troops, etc., etc.) with a good ol’ PARKING LOT PARTY!

    Buckhead’s partnered up with The Preiss Co. to kick off this weekend’s un-official start to summer and put “dead week” to bed!

    Come out from 5pm to 9pm at University Woods on Trailwood Drive (just off Tryon Road or Avent Ferry Road). You guys know how we roll on college night and how The Preiss Co. loves to throw a party for their residents… so naturally it’s going to be a great time!

    It’s going to be a BYOB parking lot party. There will be food, beer pong, live music and it will be a lot of fun.

    See y’all there!

    PS – We’re taking it back to Buckhead after for Ladies Night (no cover for girls, $3.00 Buckhead Martinis, and $3.00 glasses of wine) and Group Therapy ($10 for a beer tube of 5 pints and 5 shots – for groups of 5 or more) and you guessed it… MORE BEER PONG!

  • March Madness is Coming!

    Ok, so it’s not here yet… but things sure are heating up on Tobacco Road!

    After doing some fun event research for a postcard at work, I decided that I want to have a March Madness party this year. Either at the townhouse or at Buckhead. I mean, this is NC people… if you can’t enjoy ACC basketball then you have no business being in close proximity to NCSU, UNC, Duke, and Wake Forest all at once.

    I think I’ll make this drink I found on eVite’s March Madness party ideas:

    “Beer and sports are a perfect match, so have a fridge full of brew. But if you want to shoot long for a 3-pointer, try this cocktail with three different rums (one for each point).

    3-Point Basket (Zombie)

    • 1 shot dark rum
    • 1 shot white rum
    • 1 shot gold/spiced rum
    • 1/2 shot apricot brandy
    • 1/2 shot lime juice
    • 1/2 shot pineapple juice
    • a dash of sugar

    Stir and serve.”

    Sounds yummy!
