Howeeduzzit and Yolanda Gonzalez Shows

November 29, 2008

On Sunday, November 30, from 1 - 5pm, two Alhambra art galleries will be having closing shows.  I’m pretty sure the art, music, food, and festivities will be great.  The Howeeduzzzit show is called "Jazzed About the Blues" and features art inspired by music.

Nov. 11 Free Drinks at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf

November 11, 2008

According to the Orange County Register’s Fast Food Maven Blog:

Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf is giving out free 12-oz. drinks on Tuesday evening. And, unlike the Starbucks Election Day freebie, Coffee Bean is handing out more than just free java.

Coffee Bean said it will serve these drinks for free: Holiday Blend coffee; Winter Dream Tea and Tea Lattes; Peppermint Ice Blended drinks and Lattes; and Espresso Mint Chip Ice Blended.

The freebie is being offered to kick off the holidays. The giveaway is valid Tuesday (Nov. 11) from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Free cuppa Joe for Joe the Plumber

November 3, 2008

Starbucks will give you a free cup of coffee if you tell them you voted on election day. What I really want is a free banana chocolate Vivano.

This reminds me of report card rewards in Ohio. Local businesses (Friendly’s) would give free ice cream and food for good report cards.  I wonder what else I can get after I vote.   

Vote Vote Vote, Tuesday, November 4th, not just for the freebies, but for a better America. 

Salad Spotted - $7.99

November 2, 2008

It’s been a while since I’ve posted in the Salad Spotting category.  I just found about this great-sounding deal at Whole Foods - $7.99 for a make your own salad.  Normally the Whole Foods salad bar can run your bill if you’re not careful with how many heavy tomatoes you throw in, but it looks like the store is dropping the ounce restriction on their salads.  I’ll have to investigate.  But for now here’s the verbage from Whole Foods:
