WE'RE BACK BAYBEEEEEE! (Monday -- we're back ON MONDAY)

After taking a week off due to events beyond my control (grumble grumble somebody BOUGHT OUT THE CAFE FOR AN EVENING, HOW DARE THEY MAKE ME WORK grumble grumble) it's time to run it back -- shuffle up and be prepared to sling some spells! ITS COMMANDER NIGHT -- same deal as always, I've got some free boosters for you jokers if you just come on out, and I've got even MORE free boosters if you have the goodness in your heart to also buy something from us (you know MTG is thirsty work, you deserve a tasty bevvy). So come on out, and have a finite supply of booster packs, but the first 10 people shuffled up and slingin' will see their punctuality rewarded.

As always, love you. Say hi to your momma n' them. taken in The Rook & Pawn by @rooknpawn

We're starting just a little late tonight, but that only means the questions will be harder and more unforgiving! Fire those synapses! Activate that frontal lobe! Win prizes! Love you. Everybody get in here! by @rooknpawn

Sometimes we have to stop and appreciate something perfect in its simplicity. Name something better than a simple grilled cheese sandwich. A grilled cheese WITH tomato? Ok, fine, you're right, sometimes when you're feeling fancy, putting that little bit of acid to cut the richness of the cheese is just *chef's kiss*. Be real nice to us, and we will make one for you. You choose the cheese, we'll choose the tomato. Love you. Say hi to your momma and them. taken in The Rook & Pawn by @rooknpawn

ATTENTION PARTY PEOPLE (and regular people -- and also all of you in between). We're closing it down a little early today. We had a wild weekend and we're a bunch of tired folks and could use a much needed night off. We will be back open tomorrow at the same time, same place. Sorry! We love you. It's not you, it's us. taken in The Rook & Pawn by @rooknpawn

Two trivias in one week?! INCONCEIVABLE!

I know you've been reading dictionaries to work up a mental sweat -- now prove those gains are for real with YET ANOTHER CHANCE TO PROVE YOU'RE THE SMARTEST ONE IN THE ROOM. Love you. See you tomorrow. by @rooknpawn

"For all evils there are two remedies — meat and cheese" Alexander Dumas or something like that.

It's been here since day one, it'll be here long after we're all gone -- the Monte Cristo has been our menu's cornerstone since 2015. The menu may have changed 1000 times, but one thing remains constant -- we love a good meat, cheese, bread, jam combo. I'd wager my entire unsubstantial net worth that you will too. taken in The Rook & Pawn by @rooknpawn

TOMORROW (OR TODAY IF YOURE READING THIS ON TUESDAY). We heard the children clamboring for it, so we're partnering up with our friends THE Friends of Bear Hollow Zoo to give your big beautiful brain an extra workout for this week. Come use those big beautiful brains! Justify your student loan debt with PRIZES! We love you. And we love bears. We love both you and bears. But we love you just a little bit more than bears. Don't tell the bears I said that.

If you are, in fact, a bear and you're reading this -- ignore what I said about loving our patrons more than bears. Clearly bears are superior. Please don't bite my face off. I like my face. I NEED my face. by @rooknpawn

Sometimes you don't get out of your pajamas for a single moment all day long and plug in your original NES and play Mike Tyson's Punch Out! because you deserve nice things and leaving the house just isn't in the cards today.

We get it -- there's PEOPLE outside, and sometimes that's just too much to deal with on a Saturday. We hope if you do decide to leave the house (which would be very brave and bold of you, indeed -- we're very proud of you for even considering it), you'll let us fortify you with a cup of coffee, or perhaps a small sandwich of your choosing as a little reward for being so courageous. taken in The Rook & Pawn by @rooknpawn

POSTING WAY EARLY SO PEOPLE WILL HOPEFULLY SEE!!!

Our MTG commander night that USUALLY would happen this Monday has been CANCELLED due to events beyond our control (I.e. we've been bought out for the evening and will be closing to the public). I'm very sad, but also IT MUST BE DONE. WE'RE SORRY. I'll post reminders on Monday. by @rooknpawn
