Fall ArtWalk Weekend, Oct 17th & 18th

Lancaster's weekend showcase of the arts is coming up on October 17th and 18th at venues throughout Downtown Lancaster, PA. Brought to you by LancasterARTS, the theme for Fall ArtWalk is a FUSION of visual, performing, and culinary arts. The event includes attractions for serious art lovers as well as activities for families and young aspiring artists.
There will be galleries and studios open with artists discussing and demonstrating their craft; live music, dance, and other performing arts in the streets and concert halls; and demonstrations of culinary art for your dining enjoyment. This year's Fall ArtWalk includes special spotlights on tattoo art and dance, behind-the-scenes demonstrations of theatrical special effects, special Segway tours, buskers (street performers), a molten bronze pouring, and opportunities to try your hand at pottery, glass-blowing, and painting! And a new twist, the Arts Crawl Challenge, an opportunity to win prizes for finding artistic treasures around the city. Most Fall ArtWalk activities are free of charge and open to the public, and many of the venues include family-friendly activities. Core hours are Saturday, October 17th from 10 to 5 and Sunday, October 18th from noon to 5, but some activities will begin Friday evening and some will continue into Sunday evening. http://www.lancasterarts.com/

OMG Sat. Nite dinner at Quips Pub Lancaster PA

I just got back from having dinner at Quips Pub, Lancaster PA. Just across the street from where I live. I was lucky enough to have a pint of the TROEGS JavaHead Stout Release and a Tröegs Rugged Trail Ale....
Tröegs Rugged Trail Ale is a unique rendition of a classic English Brown. It has a deep bronze color, rocky head, and prominent Fuggle hop aroma. Toasted amber and Chocolate malts impart a "Nutty" richness and creamy velvet texture.

--------- the JavaHead is Season: September
JavaHead is based off of our original 2005 oatmeal stout. After the boil the hot wort passes through our hopback vessel packed full of whole leaf hops and a bed of coffee beans - akin to a French press - intensifying the coffee nose and releasing hints of coffee flavor. The result is a lush oatmeal mouthfeel balanced with cocoa, roast and subtle coffee flavors.
Serving Suggestions: Temp: 50-55° F Glassware:Pint Glass or Mug 7.5% abv

OMG so good and this is just the beer, the food was also so so good...

WHY and when is it leaving

Why is there a couch on the sidewalk and when is it leaving? I thought there were city codes against this type of thing. I love city living and sometimes I hate city living. Funny thing is there is an open house across the street tomorrow and stuff like this is NOT going to help.
