Friday night we decided to have a beer at Mojos. We thought we were getting there in time for happy hour but we lucked out.
However, it did turn out that there was an event going on in the back of mojos where there happens to be a bike shop. The owner was moving to Vermont for some odd reasons and they were having a silent auction and a raffle with some pretty awesome prizes.
They also had a tub of beer for the event goers. Manny decided to buy $20 worth of raffle tickets, since he's so lucky with raffles he couldn't pass up this great opportunity. And did I already say that the prizes were awesome?!
And guess who cleaned house that night during the raffle?! WE DID! Although we didn't win EVERYTHING, we definitely walked up more than twice to claim our prizes. We felt the sting of embarassment after the 3rd time we won something. I went up to get the woman's montana t-shirt and water bottles and Manny went up to get the two gift certificates to bar crudo and mini bar, we had been wanting to go to bar crudo for oysters!!! & our luck didn't end there.
Manny got a dollar off our lobster raviolis this morning because he was the first customer of the day for the ravioli guy and then he helped the bread guy out by giving his boss directions to the market, in return the bread guy gave Manny a free bear claw and persuaded him to get this caramel pecan pastry which looks like a distant cousin of the cinnamon roll for a dollar off.
All in all it was an awesome weekend & I love bear claws.
P.S. We also met Dan Deacons distant cousin at this wine/beer shop on the way home from the mission - he was SO nice and helped us pick out a nice bottle of jammy and silky Malbec
