Local radio commercials I instantly turn off
- The Bill Grigsby commercials for Jazz Restaurant. Who's the target demographic? Creepy old guys who think they're funny but they're not?
- Centric Foss Training. Another good case for a new spokesperson.
That's all I can think of for now, but I switched channels on both of them just this morning.

Wednesday Night Diva Events at Houlihan's
Wednesday, April 02, 2008
Lately I've come to appreciate Houlihan's more - probably because the one in Lee's Summit is quite close to The Zen Zone, and I've been eating there quite a bit. They seriously need to bring back their pecan tartlets, though.
Starting next Wednesday, April 9th through Wednesday, June 11th, Houlihan's is having weekly Wednesday Night Diva events. They're also sponsoring a "Sex and the City" movie sweepstakes and will be giving away two trips for two to fly to New York City to attend the SATC movie premiere. The events will include a menu of custom $5 martinis named after the “Sex and the City” characters.
Sounds like a pretty decent happy hour to me!
