Title: 30 Items (11-21-08) sponsored by The WINDHAM/HUNTER WINTER CARD
Body:

Eagles tickets available for the Arizona and Cleveland game.  Four tickets to each game. Lower level.  Let me know if you have interest. 
After the debacle last week, not sure anyone wants them but I have a feeling it is still a hot ticket in town.  One comment for me on the game in Cinci.  When we had the ball inside our 20 at the end of the game and it was 4th and 1 and we punted, was that not an acceptance of us settling for a tie.  And is a tie going to help us secure a playoff spot down the road?  Seems like we will be on the outside looking in come playoff time unless the Eagles show they are a better team than most of us believe right now.

Great music week for me.  AC/DC was on Monday.  They were so loud that my ears were still ringing the next night. http://www.philly.com/inquirer/magazine/34728849.html
And then last night was Madonna: http://www.philly.com/philly/news/breaking/20081121_Madonna_at_Wachovia__Provocative_Sticky_and_Sweet.html

Was also able to attend a fun whiskey tasting this week by Macallan.  http://www.themacallan.com
Learned a new toast: http://www.reference.com/search?q=Slainte
Also attended a tasting at a new Mexican restaurant at 8th and Christian, Paxia (#13)

For those thinking about ski season with the cold weather, the mountains are now open in the NY Catskills: http://www.windhammountain.com/news/events/opening_day

And something new and cool for me this week. I was sitting with a friend at a bar. We heard a song but could not identify it. He pulls out his iPhone, lets it record the song or something and a website tells us what the song is.  I was blown away with the technology.  http://www.shazam.com

And lastly, the great city of Philly.  Amazing that we have less people but more workers.  Something to consider as the city deals with the economic crisis: http://www.philly.com/philly/news/local/34448614.html 

As always, I ask that you talk to me if you are thinking of buying or selling a home.  For those that do not know, I am a licensed Realtor. – Mark

28) SATURDAY BAR CRAWL

Garaus Day V Pub Crawl! 
Saturday, November 22, 2:30PM

WHAT THE HECK IS GARAUS???? Word History: The origin of the word carouse can be found in a German interjection that meant time to leave the bar. German garaus, which is derived from the phrase garaus  meaning all out, then came to mean drink up, bottoms up, and last drink before closing time. The English borrowed this noun, with the meaning the practice of sitting around drinking until closing time, sometimes spelling the word garaus but usually spelling it closer to the way it is spelled today. Soon after the word is first recorded as a noun in 1559, we find the verb carouse, in 1567.

Please join us for Garaus Day V on Nov 22nd! To honor our 5th year, we are asking everyone to wear black and white.  Garaus Day is a drink fest starting at 2:30pm and ending when the bars close at 2am. Come out for some awesome drinks, see your friends and maybe make some new ones.

Bar List...
1. McGillian's Old Ale House (2:30pm) - 1310 Drury St.
2. Fox & Hound (4:15pm) 1501 Spruce St.
3. McGlinchey's (6:00pm) - 259 S 15th St.
