Normal Heights Night on Adams

So, people keep asking, "What's the deal with Normal Heights Night on Adams? I don't get it."

Well, it's nothing but an excuse to get out and enjoy our neighborhood. Swing by Blind Lady for a beer, walk over to Pinto for some Thai or Cantina Mayahuel for tacos, drop in at Nickelodeon or Folk Arts Records to pick up some vintage vinyl, have a coffee at Lestat's to keep you going, then take you pick of Viva Pops or Mariposa Ice Cream for some of the best desserts in town. Oh, and maybe head over to the Sod for one more.

Seriously, it's that simple! Get out and ask "What's yer Night on Adams special" and see what happens. If they don't know what you're talking about tell them that your on the very first Normal Heights Night on Adams. Who knows, pretty soon we might have our very own Normal Heights version of a Walkabout. It's not gonna happen sitting on your couch.

BBBTC Results are in and...

...congratulations you're all losers!

Yep, between Thursday and Sunday we had 87 entries in our Big Bland Blind Tasting Challenge and while many of you were so very certain you had nailed it... none of you did.

Not one.
Not one in 87 people.
That's right, NOBODY got all 6 right.
In fact, NOBODY got 5 of them correct.
In fact, NOBODY got 4 of them correct.

But 17 of you got 3 of them correct.

That makes you all losers, but in our book, that means... you are all winners.

But we needed an official winner so sticking to our weird obsession with wacky numbers, we randomly pulled 3 winners from those that got 3 correct and each of those three people will receive 1/3rd of the original $100 prize: that's $33.33 in Blind Lady Gift Card.

And those people are:

Jeff Blankman
Ben Lapidot
Rob Liwanag

Congratulations, boys, you deserve a tasty craft beer, or three.
And thanks to all who participated.

Maybe with 720 combinations we needed 633 more entries?
