Tutoring Zone Free Beer Night!

Last night, the 21st, TutoringZone sponsored a free beer night at Mothers. It was really cool to see all of the people that the event brought... it was quite diverse. If you brought any TutoringZone packet, with its infamous "red paper" you got free beer and free burgers and fries. While it seemed like a good idea at the time, the beer was TERRIBLE!!! I asked Mothers' owner TJ what the deal was, and he said it was an old Miller High Life keg. It tasted like they put melted butter in the beer, no joke! Call me ungrateful, but the free beer tasted like it should be free. The burger and fries were good though. TJ said if we finished the first keg then the next one would be fresh. Being the sneaky, wily people that me and my friends are, we decided we should order a bunch of beers and hide them in the corner of the bar until the keg ran out. I have never been one to waste a good cold beer, but these were literally undrinkable. Our plan worked and the beers for the rest of the night were fresh and oh so delicious.

Worst part of the night... walking home from Mothers to my house which is, oh, 2 miles away. It's much easier after a night of free beer rather than before!

Introduction

Hello, all! Welcome to my blog. My name is Phillip and I'm a senior at UF. I'm 21 years old. I was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas until I decided to come to Florida for college. In my four years here I have learned a lot, not only in the classroom, but also socially. I am currently the social chair of my fraternity, Sigma Alpha Epsilon (the house with the lion statue) and it has really taught me a lot about socializing, organization, and having fun. That is mostly why I chose for my topic to be: Gainesville Nightlife

I'm pretty new at this blogging thing; I've only done it for one other class and it was really boring because it seemed like every post we commented on was about "going green." Not to say that I don't appreciate that whole movement, but I am honestly pretty excited to blog about something that I actually enjoy, partying. I'm no alcoholic, but, like most college students I do enjoy a good time. That is why I chose for my blog to be all about nightlife here in Gainesville. I hope that my blog will show people some different fun places to go and maybe find some new, fun places to go myself. I hope you all enjoy!

Here is a link to a list of drink specials in Gainesville that I use to drink on my very strict college budget:
