Starting at 6 p.m., the Monkey Wrench is hosting their deck-opening party to unveil … well … their new deck … on the roof. I got a sneak peak last week, and it is amazing up there. Gorgeous. Peaceful. A perfect place to drink a beer and contemplate the Venus Retrograde. I hear they’ll be serving up free BBQ until it’s gone. And it’s Denny’s (the owner) birthday. It’s a beautiful night, you have no excuse. See you there?
