Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his burrow on Saturday, saw his shadow, and predicted six extra weeks of winter for 2008, but then again, he could just be a lazy groundhog looking to get in some extra sleep.Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and we have plans to make it a special night for you and yours. For one night only, the Raven will be taking dinner reservations, providing table service, and turning itself into the most romantic dinner atmosphere in Northern Arizona. Ben and Miguel have put together a 5-Star Prix Fixe 5 Course Menu with a complimentary Champagne Split, and a gorgeous dessert by Debbie. We will be offering two seatings: 6pm and 8pm. Price is $90 per couple, and reservations are highly encouraged. Jonathon Best is working on a special Valentine's Evening Set of Piano Music. Call, E-Mail, or Stop By for Reservations or if you have any questions.
Monday: Pizza, Pitcher, and a Picture night continues. This weeks movie...Ground Hog Day starring Bill Murray. If you've seen it, you know you love it...if you haven't, you will love it. 8pm
Tuesday: Mardi Gras...By now you've probably noticed we tend to get a little worked up around holiday's that allow us to celebrate southern culture. That has a lot to do with the fact that a few of us come from the southland, and it's our way of sharing some of our heritage with you. Mardi Gras is all about celebrating, relaxing, eating some good food, hanging out with friends, listening to good music, and letting the good times roll. We'll be cooking up alligator, crawfish, rattlesnake, gumbo, ettouffe, and a few other surprises. We've got plenty of beads, MoonPies, and the best selection of New Orleans music this side of Louisiana. It will be a fun night for everyone. 6pm - until...
Wednesday: Ben's Famous Burger Night...come find out why everyone is saying we are making the best burgers they have ever had. It's an art form around here.
Thursday: Creole, Southern and Soul Food Night continues. We believe in the power of comfort food.
Friday: Put on your dancing shoes...King Bee and The Snappin' Turtles (Ben Dickey, Newt Lynn, and Adam Schrader) return for their first show at the Raven since Halloween. In case you missed that show , check out the little video clip and pictures on the Raven's myspace page for some idea of what's to come...www.myspace.com/ravencafe.....8pm
Saturday: The Raven Cafe is especially proud to present an evening with The Jon Rauhouse Sestet. Jon is an unbelievable musician known best for his multi-instrumental backing of Neko Case and Calexico. Aside from that, he is an internationally recognized talent that sells out shows around the world. Jon played here last May, and the response was overwhelming. Folks came from all over the state to see the show, and Jon sent us a note saying the Raven was definitely one of his favorite places he has ever played and you were one of the best audiences. This coming from an Austin City Limits regular. This will be a show you will not want to miss. He will be joined by Tierra Del Fuego and Farewell Review...8pm
Your Album of the Week...It's Mardi Gras, so I'll recommend a few albums for you this week...Dr. John's "In The Right Place" is always a great place to start for some great New Orleans music. If you want to get to the roots, try Professor Longhair's "Mardi Gras in Baton Rouge." Or, if you are just looking for the best funk available, try The Meter's "Look-Ka Py Py."
Until Again
Raven
