In 2010 The Sweet Dudes met their match when Team Catholic stepped up to the plate and ’twas a gut wrenching moment when that final flip landed face down securing the Catholic victory…

In 2011 the Flip Cup Trohpy is once again up for grabs and the future of its resting place for the next year may lie in your hands.

Gather your teams of 6 folks, the annual GoTime and BEAN Flip Cup Tourney is here and the anticipation is higher than ever.  Dante’s has kindly agreed to host yet again as we pack the house with flippers and friends alike, for what many consider the most exhilarating event of the year (nationwide)…

As usual GoTime and BEAN will be partnering, with all proceeds going back into the event and towards BEAN programs which help fund wonderful causes.  Check out Bean’s Event Invite for all the information you need and to RSVP.  Your team could walk away with a $100 Gift Certificate to Dante’s and new this year, the Runner-Up will also receive a GC: $50 to Dante’s!!

We hope to see ya’ll there and start strength training your flipping wrist now, the competition is fierce and only one team can be crowned the 2011 champion.

We also want you to connect with us on Facebook and Twitter, use the list below to find us in your city.  We’ll be updating this list so keep checking back as more cities are added.  Cheers!

“Happy Hour at Mia at Biscayne has rapidly become one of the most well-attended in the city. From active South Florida professionals to corporate CEOs, Mia caters to everyone and is Downtown Miami’s top after-office spot for cocktails.”- and we’d have to agree!

Try a Bellini Champagne Cocktail ($6 at happy hour) for the perfect mix of bubbly and sweet or if stiff is more your style, the Cucum Martini (with fresh muddled cucumber) is clean, strong, and also just $6 at happy hour.

Don’t be intimidated by it’s swanky atmosphere, Mia at Biscayne welcomes you with open arms, and hopefully a $70 gift card will entice you toward the dim, glowing lights too.  They’ve kindly donated a GC to one lucky GoTimer so now you have no excuse.  Entry to win is easy:

Jennifer Cashman

(thanks for the RT Jennifer, it paid off, you win!!)

Believe it or not, these aren’t actual pictures of our winners but they’re an excellent depiction of how jazzed one gets to win our giveaways!  Anywho, even if you didn’t win, don’t forget that tonight, Friday, April 30th, is a great opportunity to bop down and give Talarico’s happy hour a try.  It’s an “Eighties Equal Rights Extravaganza” to benefit the Human Rights Campaign.  Festivities start at 9pm… See you there!

$4 gets you a slice of the Tarantino, Sinatra, or West Side for instance… each with their own signature toppings and taste that will leave you eager to try the other options on the menu.  If pizza’s not your thing (you weirdo) there’s plenty of other happy hour menu items to choose from too, each for just 5 bucks!  Pair some meatball sliders with a $3 draft and you’ve got a deliciously filling little meal for under $10.  NOT BAD!

Even better, if you’re ever looking for some late night eats in the West Seattle area but aren’t interested in said eats also eating up what’s left of your wallet, Talarico’s daily late night happy hour is the spot.

41 cities, thousands of happy hours nationwide, access to incredible deals at your fingertips.

To celebrate our big news we’re doing things up Flip Cup Style right here in Seattle where it all began.  If you missed our First Annual Flip Cup Tourney last year at Dante’s then you missed the thrill of victory when “Sweet Dudes Who Like to Party” took home the gold… Don’t let that happen again this year.  It’s time to get a team of 6 (or more) together and come back on down to Dante’s for round II.

Taking things to the national level would never have been possible if it weren’t for the amazing support that the folks in Seattle have shown us… consider this our chance to give back.  GoTime will once again be partnering with BEAN and all proceeds from this event will go to BEAN’s scholarship fund.  Check out BEAN’s event invite for all the information you need and to RSVP.  Your team could walk away with a $125 GC to enjoy a happy hour at any venue of your choice!

We hope to see you there, and the next time you’re in:

What’s better than happy hour?  Well, a happy night, of course.  At Art of the Table, Mondays are just happy.  Really, it’s delightful anytime you find an excellent restaurant that is open on Mondays, but it doesn’t hurt that this one offers affordable small plates, $5 glasses of wine, and $26 bottles.

The small plates vary weekly, but a recent Monday offered hearty lamb Bolognese pasta, flavor packed toast topped with black trumpet mushrooms and porcini purée, and roasted eggplant and fennel with goat cheese.  Vegetables are treated with care at Art of the Table – the meal was over before I realized we’d ordered only one meat dish.  Even in winter, everything is both fresh and flavorful.

The restaurant is tiny – just a small, triangular room with no more than eight tables.  Since no reservations are taken on happy Mondays, it’s best to arrive early or after nine.

Drop us a line via @gotime_seattle on twitter and claim your prize!!

If it’s the drink specials you’re interested in, they don’t skimp there either, drafts start at just $3 during happy hour.  Sporty folks can enjoy their brewski while watching the game or if weather is permitting, sit outside.  The outdoor seating is pretty awesome and they’ll accommodate parties big and small (outside and inside) so you really have no excuse!

We’re loving the idea of a $6 Captain’s Tea (packs real bang for your buck), some Seattle sunshine and the $3 waffles at happy hour (lets be honest, waffles are great any time of day!)  Or HECK, go ahead and try a little bit of everything on their happy hour menu when you win a $75 gift card.  Entry to win is easy and we’ll be drawing the winner this Friday January 15th so get entered in as many ways as you can before time runs out!
