"A three-alarm fire ripped through the Hong Kong bar in Faneuil Hall on Thursday night.
About a half dozen people were inside at about 9 p.m. when the fire broke out.

Firefighters said the fire, which was caused by an electrical short circuit, began on the ceiling of the first floor and quickly spread to the walls and across the building.

No one was hurt.

The fire caused an estimated $400,000 in damages."

I can't believe I didn't hear about this until now. Forget fundraising for Haiti. We all have to act now to rebuild the Hong Kong in Boston. I will be holding a candlelight vigil in 2 weeks in memory of the best 4th Bar and arguably the best of all the bars on the 12 Bars of Christmas Bar Crawl. Stay tuned for the benefit concert that I'm trying to put together which will also offer free Scorpion Bowls at the concert for every $20 donation.

Holiday Inn My Bed

I couldn't believe this was actually true. The below is a news article that I read. I wish I could make this up...

"At the Holiday Inn in the UK guests who don’t want to hop into a cold bed at one English hotel now have a novel way to warm up: by enlisting a staff member to do it for them.

The Holiday Inn's Kensington, London, location will offer a free five-minute “human bed warming” service throughout next week.

So what does a human bed warmer do? A hotel staffer, dressed from head-to-toe in a white, fleecy getup that looks like a cross between a footed pajama set and a snowsuit, will get into your bed upon request and move around, generating some heat between those chilly sheets."

What could hotels come up with next?

Staff Members will drool on your pillow
Staff Members will give you a dutch oven
Staff Members will snore next to you all night
