Is It Gator Time, Again?

Weird things are happening out there: ice on mars, cougars and alligators on the perimeter of Chicago, and the discovery of a mathematical formula for the perfect cheese sandwich. In Prescott, you can rest easy in the knowledge that The Raven Cafe remains constant while always tossing in a little of the unexpected to keep things exciting. This week:

Monday: Pizza, Pitcher and a Picture night continues with "Thelma and Louise." It's like Sex and the City meets the Dukes of Hazzard with an M. Knight Shyamalan twist at the end. 8:30pm



Tuesday: Chef Tony Burris is putting together a Mediterranean themed menu for you featuring:

Appetizers:
Babaghanoush Plate
Tapas of Almonds, Olives & marinated Manchego
Garlic Shrimp

Entrees:
Ratatouille
Salad Nicoise
Spiced Duck w/ Pomegrante & Walnut Sauce & Fresh Pear
Lamb Sausage with Romesco Sauce
Chicken Thighs w/Garlic & Lemon
Fennel, Date & Orange Salad with Spinach & Almonds

Also on Tuesday Night...Music by The Porchlights of Cortez, Colorado. We really enjoyed them last time they came through and are happy to have them back again. 7pm
Thursday: Local band Smoot Mahooty will make their first appearance at the Raven. We've been hearing really good things about them and are excited to have them in. 7pm

Friday: We kick off another weekend of blues and grooves with The Denise Allen Band. Denise Allen has a great voice and a magnetic sort of stage presence that just pulls you out onto the dance floor. 8pm

Saturday: After a Friday night warm-up with Denise Allen, it's time to see just how long you can hold out on the dance floor...Shri takes the stage for a full night of inspired blues and slinky grooves. 8pm
Your Album of the Week: Tonight I'm in Houston to see Tom Waits. This week's album, Tom Waits "Heart Attack and Vine". It's a transitional album between his lounge singer work of the 1970's and his more eclectic experimentation of the 1980's. Because it fits in between these two periods it is often overlooked and under-appreciated. For my money, it's definitely one of his best. Enjoy!!!

Until Again
