Last Minute Free Food Alert

There's an event happening at the Special Collections building on the UGA campus. I hear that home.made will be catering the event. If you've never eaten their food, you're missing out. The swanee bites are excellent. Go score some freebies! Here's the info:

Friday, February 20th
Opening Reception, Pennington Radio Collection Exhibit, 3:30PM
Auditorium, 2nd floor, Special Collections Building

This program and reception will celebrate the Pennington Radio Collection, which includes tube radios, external speakers, and other artifacts dating from 1913 to 1933. Fascinating early radio designs by Atwater Kent, Alfred Grebe, and Lee De Forest are on display alongside classics from Western Electric, RCA, Philco, and Crosley. The Pennington Radio Collection was donated to the Libraries by the late Claude Pennington. The program will include a tribute to Dr. Pennington, and Dr. Jay Hamilton, an Associate Professor at the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, will discuss radio as a disruptive technology in the early 20th century.

During the reception, visitors will be able to hear period music from one of the radios in the collection in a special listening room.

"The Place" Menus

A new restaurant called "The Place" (a name which could ultimately be confusing when trying to find it on the internet) has opened in the old Five Star Day Cafe space on 229 East Broad Street. I haven't eaten there yet, but the place looks nice and the meat and three option on the lunch menu looks similar to something you would have found at Five Star. I have included scans of the lunch and dinner menus below. Click on the image for a larger view.

Free Pizza Samples at Brixx

Brixx (135 W. Washington St.) in downtown Athens is giving out samples of their gluten free pizza and appetizers on Tuesday, January 6th from 6-7pm. That is tonight. The image below has a date error on it. I personally think glutens are delicious, but if you are allergic them or want them out of your life this is manna from heaven. Plus, free pizza is free pizza.

Faculty Appreciation Food

The UGA Bookstore near the Tate Center is providing free refreshments as part of their Faculty Appreciation event today (12/3/2014). They are serving breakfast until 11am and for lunch they will have sandwiches, brownies, fruit, and cookies. When you enter the bookstore, the food will be in the magazine section, straight ahead toward the back of the store. See picture below:

Documentary Food

There is a reception following the screening of this documentary (reception is code for free food).
