Happy Anniversary Cosmos, Dixie’s, On the Roxx and Wild Wing Cafe
Posted by Brittney Cason on Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 2:46 PM
My girlfriends joke that their periods last longer than my relationships … so I’m not really inclined to celebrate anniversaries. But I do tend to celebrate a lot of bar anniversaries. That, or there are just a lot of them this month.
From oldest to youngest …
• Cosmos Cafe is turning 12, and they’re celebrating all week. Do you remember turning 12? Boy, were those years awkward and adolescent. I wonder if Cosmos is going to start their period this year … because that’s about the only thing I remember about turning 12.
• Dixie’s Tavern is turning 11, and they’re celebrating this Friday with a free buffet from 8 p.m.-10 p.m. with all new menu items – which you can wash down with drinks so cheap it’ll almost feel like open bar.
• On the Roxx at the Lake is turning 5, and they’re celebrating next Saturday, Nov. 21 with live music from The Pursey Kerns Band, free food courtesy of Matt's Chicago Dog, UFC 106 Pay Per View and a special guest DJ TBD. (As in To Be Announced … that’s not his DJ name. Just clarifying because that’s totally what I thought upon first read.) And … it’s a charity cover. $5 Donation Benefiting Huntington's Disease Society of America
PS- There's also an On the Roxx AND Cosmos in Ballantyne as well.
• Wild Wing Café in University is turning 1 … not to be confused with its red-headed stepsister in the EpiCentre. And they’re celebrating this Friday and Saturday with live music with The Brent Cates Band on Friday and The Aristocrats on Saturday. There is a picture of a cupcake in the ad, and I think they should give out those as well. … just saying.
Whenever you see the words “Anniversary” next to a bar’s ad, you can already assume that there will be good deals and a good time. It is their birthday party after all!

I just read this "blog" and I am pretty appalled by what you wrote about Cosmos Cafe. Instead of commending these people's achievement of establishing and maintaining a business...especially in this day and time...you compare them to your period. I noticed for all the other establishments celebrating their anniversaries you made sure to mention (advertise) the events and specials they were holding...it almost seems like you have something against Cosmos Cafe or maybe the owners to write so disgracefully. You mention nothing about the $12 3-course meal, $12 bottle of wine, nothing about the drink specials like the 1/2 price martini's on Wednesdays or the Cosmic Fusion parties on Saturday, nothing about the guest DJ's they had during the week, nothing about the newer 2nd location in Ballantyne...nothing. All you could come up with was how your period started. You have obviously not matured any after age 12, which leads me to ask...are you going to have a special anniversary party for your period?

Apparently Vicki is on her period because clearly she didn't read the previous post where Brittany and other authors talked about Cosmos and their specials. Obviously she just didn't want to mention the same thing twice. I hope Cosmos paid you for that shamless self plug ... now plug up your period.
