Tonight there will be another installment of the “BLOQ Party” at Koji’s in The Block. G-MO went to the last one and came back with a VERY positive review. If you missed the last BLOQ Party now is your chance to take advantage of great food and great drink specials (like $1 Large Sake!). Head out to the Block tonight for good atmosphere, good music and an overall great time!

It takes a lot to rouse me from the comforts of my domestic doldrums these days. My motivation, like my ass, gets enveloped by the cushy confines of my plush leather couch as I resign to another episode of Project Runway or Lost. But, last week G-MO tempted me (texted me) with about the only thing that could have stirred me from my stupor. “Die Antwoord at Cinespace tonight!” he wrote.
