The Snowgoose Restaurant and Sleeping Lady Brewery is known mostly for its' beer and its' great downtown location. It also has a banquet room that is used well and often, currently for the Fur Rondy Melodrama, on the main level of the restaurant. It comes complete with stage and lights. But there is also a second, lesser known banquet space downstairs. It is a large u-shaped room, with the far arm of the "U" ...

Here it is... the eleventh hour... and you didn't make restaurant reservations for you and your sweetheart. I can tell you from first hand experience that there aren't many tables left in town for an impromptu night out. However, there is a "Hail Mary" pass that you can make and still come out looking mighty fine.

The Double Musky Restaurant in Girdwood (45 minutes South of Anchorage) does not accept reservations. They ...

Anchorage is watching as Obama takes oath. Even in this conservative state, there are a multitude of Democrats (and some Republicans) gleeful that Obama is taking office today. No one can deny, fan or foe, that today is a historically significant day for America. Some of have even bigger thoughts than that, HURRAH for Obama!

If you would like to share the moment with others, then gather together to watch the festivities! ...

Do you have the fastest growing beard in the North? PROVE IT! Today at 11:45 is the official weigh in... er.. shave in at the downtown Westmark Hotel. You can also register for the event at the Great Alaska Beer and Barleywine Festival this weekend, the Rondy office at 400 D street (at any time they are open), and the Alaska Mint. All you have to do is present your ...

As I've written before, there's just no place like Alyeska for New Year's. The highlights include the torchlight parade and the fireworks display.

Torchlight Parade: Give up your poles and replace them with a flaming torch. Head up the mountain in the dark and wait with the others to snow plow (or snowboard, semi-slowly and in a line... even harder) down "intermediate" slopes. I've participated and been a spectator and, either way, it's a great ...

The Alyeska Resort is ready for skiers and snowboarders! The mountain will open on November 26, making a good holiday a great one. What else would you rather do while your turkey is cooking? Throw a couple of strips of bacon across the top of the bird so that it can baste itself while you get in a few turns!

Alyeska has more snow than Anchorage right now. the base and ...

If the Political debate at UAA, the sewing club meeting at Highland Tech High, and the Chugiak Senior Center Okoberfest events are not quite enough to get you out the door this evening, perhaps a live concert at 'Coots will do the trick. Go dance and drink with the beat of "Marc Brown and the Blues Crew" pulsing the walls around you. That would be tonight at 8:00 PM at the one ...

Oktoberfest is a long tradition at Alyeska Resort, made famous by it's founder Chris Von Imhof, Bavarian and former General Manager of Alyeska Resort. Alyeska Resort is located in Girdwood, just 45 minutes South of Anchorage. I hear that CVI (as Mr. Von Imhof is sometimes known) is to be the MC of the event this year, so break out your lederhosen and get ready to yodel!

The event will be ...

If you don't have a ticket for the Great Alaska Beer Train, then you have already missed out on this super annual event. Remember that for next year! Keep an eye out for railroad events like these at www.alaskarailroad.com.

If you missed the train, there is not need to panic, my beer swilling friend...

Get your lederhosen on and go out for an evening of yodeling, polka, door prizes and beer. You can have it all ...

I was a little bummed to be missing out on the first presidential debate tonight... at least until the music started. Then I forgot all about it. Tonight was the 4th Annual Taste of Marti Gras Auction benefiting the American Red Cross at the Anchor Pub and Club. This fundraiser was the brain child of local chef Mick Hug. He "cooked up" the event to help those affected by the ...
