Above, you can watch the vid for Tahiti's new song featuring Pikahsso, called "Next 2 Me." The track was made available on iTunes earlier this week, according to Idol Records head honcho Erv Karwelis.
Expect the two to perform the song when they take the stage tonight at Double Wide. More weekend picks to come later.
Once upon a time -- actually, last year -- downtown was where all the nightlife action was in this city. Main Street is still crowded on the weekends, but the Henderson/Capitol neighborhood has quickly become the new place to be. They've already got Barcadia (photo above), Capitol Pub, Glo Lounge and the newly revamped Slip Inn.
Coming soon are Sushi Axiom, a hip, Fort Worth-based restaurant; Veritas, a wine retail shop and bar; and Soley, an upscale Mexican restaurant. And this has only been THIS YEAR, people. How crazy is that?
Similar to downtown, the only downside here is the parking. On weekend evenings, the shopping center's entire parking lot (where Jerry's used to be, to give you a point of reference) closes for valet only. That leaves the only free parking on the residential streets, which I'm sure neighbors aren't going to be very happy about. DART should get a trolley out here. Too bad it would take like five years before anything happens.
For more detailed info on what's opened in the neighborhood, check out Tracy Achor Hayes' recent article in F!D Luxe.
If light beer is not to one's liking then I would like to point out that, surprisingly, Guinness Draught beer only has 125 calories in a 12 oz serving. Only 15 more than a bud light.
Shiner Bock has 142.
So if you like dark beer and want to watch the calories a bit - guinness is a good choice.
And from reader Larry K., who actually did his own calorie analysis:
A few years ago, I sat and listened as one of my friends droned on how she was watching weight by drinking Lite while I was packing on the pounds drinking Guinness. So I did a little research and this was the result. I wonder if the calorie difference is really that much particularly when one considers the bowls of chips or nuts that are consumed while drinking ANY beer. And if I am given a choice of drinking lite or tea, I always choose tea.
Here is a comparison between Guinness and some light beers. Since Guinness is served in a pint and most American light beers are reported in 12 ounce servings, I have converted the American beers to their 16 ounce equivalent.
Miller Light 128 Calories per pint.
Bud Light 146.7 Calories per pint
Aspen Edge 125.3 Calories per pint
Coors Light 136 Calories per pint
Keystone Light 138.7 Calories per pint
Shiner Light 160 Calories per pint
GUINNESS(r) DRAUGHT 196 Calories per pint
I would also like to point out that last night, inspired by my own story, I ordered a club soda at the bar! This was after two glasses of wine at a friend's house, but still, progress.
