Festivus...for the rest of us! December 22, 2011

It all started long, long ago in the land of Seinfeld…

FESTIVUS…FOR THE REST OF US!

FINALLY, a party in December about NOTHING…and you’re invited! Join us on Thursday, December 22nd for our 2nd Annual Festivus Partay!

A warm invitation to all Vancouver Minglers to partake in the passion of this special “Festivus…For The Rest of Us!” evening at the fabulous new urban eatery ensemble Tap.

ensemble Tap is Dale MacKay’s latest restaurant featuring two of his favourite things; good fresh beer and delicious comfort food …“I’ve always dreamed of opening a world-class pub-style restaurant where I can go after-work or on my day off to watch a game, and order a sleeve of extraordinary beer and the best comfort food imaginable,” says Chef MacKay.

You’re going to love ensemble Tap, it’s modernistic atmosphere, 15 icy cold micro-brews on tap, specialty bourbon menu, excellent wines by the glass, and outstanding ‘modern comfort’ food make it a great spot for the Minglers breed to gather and rejoice in a little seasonal revelry. “Festivus Miracles” will be born from our traditional “Festivus Pole”, the “Airing of Grievances”, and “Feats of Strength.”

FESTIVUS YES! BAGELS NO! Cheers, Ingrid

Festivus; first created and celebrated in 1966 by the by the O’Keefe family, was later brought to the attention of pop culture through Seinfeld screenwriter, Daniel O’Keefe. The hilarious TV show about nothing quickly adapted all aspects of Festivus. If it’s good enough for the Costanza’s its good of enough for Minglers.

Tradition states that Festivus is not over until the head of the household (that’s me in this case) is defeated in a feat of strength by a person at the Festivus celebration chosen and challenged by me. Don’t be timid, the person may decline if they have something else to do, such as eat, drink, mingle, etc. (You should know, I have been training).
