First the good news. We've gotten some press! Yesterday's Collierville Independent has a nice article about our new loyalty card program (buy five drinks, get one free).
Now the bad news. The concert that is mentioned at the end of the article has been cancelled.
But now more good news! Michael Cooper will be performing instead and it's free! Michale has played here before and was marvelous so we really look forward to having him perform again. He's also a heck of a nice guy so I hope you get to meet him tonight.
One more thing. September 1st marks our 6 month anniversary (already?). We have some exciting news and a few changes we'll announce then. Stay tuned!
