Elbo Room - Cheap Happy Hour

A few weeks ago, some co-workers and I checked out Elbo Room's happy hour and we were more than happy! Besides having a happy hour run that runs from 5 - 9 PM, they have $2 draught beer specials. The night we were there it was Prohibition Ale. Yum! What a bargain.
The space itself is very cool and it wasn't crowded on that Wednesday night so we had no trouble finding a table, getting a drink, or hearing each other when chatting. A good time was had by all.

Goldstar

No, you don't get a goldstar - yet.
Goldstar is a website that sells discounted tickets for all kinds of events - theatre, concerts, sporting events, etc. They also have discounted 'tickets' for spa services sometimes but these go pretty fast. They do charge a small service fee but most of the tickets are a good 50% off so it's still usually a great deal. You do have to join Goldstar in order to take advantage of the offers. They also have emails that they send out weekly with the current events so you don't have to visit the site all the time. I think it's well worth signing up.

I've been eyeing this play: Evie's Waltz and the Smuin Christmas Ballet. Who wants to go?

Free WiFi at Peets

My lovely co-workers let me know the other day that Peet's Coffee & Tea now has free wifi. It looks like you have to ask the cashier for a code and it is valid for two hours. I love Peet's and wouldn't mind hanging out for a few hours surfing the web.

Joining the rest of the unemployed

My last day of work is in two weeks and I'll finally have some time to be able to check out more of what the city has to offer. Unfortunately, I'll have to be careful with my spending so I'm on the hunt to find cheap things to do and can't wait to share them here.
