First things first, those are koozies. Stupid name, worthless product. I hate them too. And forthwith I am banning them from heckasac. Also, the Ethiopian coffee from Old Soul is quite good.
Secondly, the Four Eyes are the best, they have always been the best, and they will always be the best. They can play any band under the table. Five minutes into their Dirty Dancing medley any band (be it Panic! At the disco, Chin Up, Chin Up, Tapes n' Tapes, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah to name just a few) that deigned to challenge them would be curled up in a fetal position on the floor sobbing. I was mentally and physically exhausted after the show and had to be given both oxygen and intravenous fluids. And that was before the first encore! Too bad they forgot to play Oldest Dude In The World.
Went to Chita's late on friday night and it was officially off the chain. It is like Benny's inside only brighter and with Mexican food. This makes it a bit scary but the food is pretty good. You can read my real review in which I will use phrases more creative than "pretty good" if you finally mail that check for your subsciption to Midtown Monthly. It's on 75.99 a year, which is 180% off the newsstand price.
It's a definite change from what we used to mean when we saw people selling kooze in the alleys in midtown Sacramento.
ReplyDeleteChita's is pretty good. It is disturbing to my wallet and waistline that there is now inexpensive Mexican food available two blocks from my house that is open until 2 AM on weekends...I predict that my late-night Del Taco runs will now be replaced by Chita cravings. It echoes the old Mexican restaurant that used to be there during the First Era of the P-House (1993-1996) but friendlier and with better salsa.
Although apparently they still have to fix a leak in their roof that splatters down into the kitchen.

So has anyone figured out who these Midtown beer cozy entrepeneurs are?
you mean the koozipreneurs?
ReplyDeletei would quibble with calling chita's "inexpensive", it's no zocalo but it ain't cheap.
Yes, "koozipreneurs."
ReplyDeleteIn addition to their Old Soul post here they also posted about the incident on their myspace blog (http://www.myspace.com/nowarmbeer) and one of them sez:
"Funny thing was, that while other business owners were asking how they can buy koozies in bulk and raving about how cool the koozies were, he was short prickin gone mad!"
I think heckasac needs to jump on the Koozie bandwagon and place a bulk order with these guys too. Hundreds and Hundreds of Koozies! Don't be left behind!

In Thailand for some reason they always give you a koozie when you order a beer. Everywhere does it. Very odd.
ReplyDeleteDoes Thailand have a Koozie pushing mafia?
ReplyDeleteWell, there goes my brilliant idear of selling Western Lore Preservation Society beer coozies* at the next Lootenanny.

*Of course, we prefer the old timey spelling.
I'll tell you what's going to be "in" for the impending Ice Age: crocheted koozies/cozies for your Kleenex boxes.
ReplyDeleteYup, you heard it here first.
All you midtown crafties and knitting circles better get crackin'...
I'm pro coozie for desert drinkin'. The air is hot, but the beer should be cold. You can make a statement without talking, leaving your open mouth for guzzlin' brew.
ReplyDeleteNo Coozie`s in Nippon!!!But we don`t have a pig grinds either only whale sperm.When does the Coozie invasion begin??jay
ReplyDeletethe ethiopian government wants to use trademark law to make it so that no one is allowed to say that they sell ethiopian coffee, unless the ethiopian govt says so (gets paid).
ReplyDelete-greg
I'll do the Ethiopians one better by trademarking the term "stinky fart" so no one can enjoy a snoot full unless they pay me royalties.

could anonymous people please stop writing gibberish comments? take that shit to gibberish.com
ReplyDeletere: strictly beer Koozies and the open-air bizaare selling of same....
ReplyDelete1) Koozies by definition are Not cool and should not be sold anywhere other than an official "koozie" store, where the imbeciles must pay rent and justify a viable business model.
2) crashing a place where the owners of a startup business do up 2nd Saturday with live music, new art, free beer and wine, free food, good vibes and good times is NEVER cool. You ruin it for everyone when you impose YOUR dynamic on what is obviously an event that is an important statement as to what and who Old Soul Co. want to be to the midtown Sac community.
