Mourning the Loss of a Good Wiener

We recently went to a funeral. For a restaurant. Yes, a restaurant. You can read the article below for how the story unravels:

This past Saturday was the invitation-only party for the "funeral" and "rebirth." And WE were there! I was able to squire an invitation because I was a frequent customer while working downtown, and brought them a good ten or so new customers along the way.

This event was FABULOUS! They even had little programs printed up, with memorial verses and songs inside. One of their friends dressed up as "The Almost Reverend Kevin," everyone came in dark clothes, pretending to cry/wail -- SO MUCH FUN!!!

We received a new t-shirt bearing the new name, "Franktuary," and a CD containing all of the funeral music, hee-hee!

After the funeral, we feasted on their terrific hot dogs, and cupcakes from Dozen Cupcakes (which we have previously visited and LOVE!).

Anyhoo, just a cool Saturday night in Da 'Burgh!
