Fullsteam

Everyone knows Thursday night is Trivia Night. At Fullsteam, we call it Celebrity Trivia, and at one time that’s what it was. Alas, we’re not the paparazzi and tracking down celebs is hard work. But now it’s February, The Month of Awesome, and there’s no such thing as hard work, just merriment and fun and gentle breezes laced with the scent of clean laundry. Cue Downy commercial? Anyway, we’re bringing celebrities back this month, starting this Thursday, February 2nd with the lady who runs one of Durham’s most beloved institutions. Please roll out the proverbial red carpet for Erin Kauffman, Manager of the Durham Farmer’s Market!

Yay, Erin!

She’ll be there along with regular host Zach Norris, hosting a round devoted to questions about local food and farming. Fancy yourself a fellow expert? You should probably come prove it. The game starts at 9 p.m. and, yes, there are prizes.

And one more very important thing! If you or someone you know is a local celebrity, however you’d like to define it, please fill out this nomination form or simply email me at amanda@fullsteam.ag. Don’t be shy! You can’t hide behind those dark glasses forever.

Hey everyone, it’s Monday!! Don’t look so excited, it’s overwhelming me.

It’s true, I know. In the words of my favorite bluegrass song, “How could Monday ever compare to Sunday, Sunday, Old Timey Funday?”* Thank heavens for Suman, here to greet you on the other side of Monday with a big plate of delicious. Check out this week’s menu:

Here at the Office of Community & Fun, we felt it was important to write a post that would make people want to come to Drag Queen Bingo. So we tried, but then we realized that’s like trying to write a post to encourage people to eat candy. EAT CANDY! DRAG BINGO! What more is there to say?

So here’s a video that incorporates candy and queens:

And here are some relevant details: Drag Bingo is coming to Fullsteam this Wednesday at 9 p.m, which makes it the unofficial kick-off to the Month of Awesome aka February here at the tavern. What does that mean for you? It means you should come, if only to bask in the presence of Mary K Mart, Drag Bingo hostess and lady of the hour. As for the bingo, it’s not your grandma’s scene (no disrespect to your grandma… you should bring her too). It’s eight quick rounds of bingo with a break in the middle. No word yet on whether there’s a halftime show. There are definitely prizes involved. The winner of every round gets a $25 gift certificate to Fullsteam. That means free beer!

So, in conclusion, EAT CANDY! DRAG BINGO! FREE BEER (for winners)!

And the fun keeps rolling on…
