The Date: Few know this but every six weeks or so at Millie’s Diner they run the best special ever. On a Sunday evening at 9:30 p.m. until about 1:30 a.m., you get to hear a great band and an all-you-can-eat buffet for only 5 bucks. Chris Bopst, the DJ of the only radio show worth listening to in Richmond, books the bands so you’re guaranteed to have a great musical experience. Additionally, the buffet is different every time and is always fantastic. The only thing is that the deal is so hip and so cool they don’t advertise when they’re going to have it. Since the last one was in the beginning of August, you might want to figure on the next one being sometime mid-September. What’s best about taking a first date to something like this is that they will assume that you are far cooler than you actually are, and who are you to tell them any different? Maybe I’ll even see you there. I’ll be the one without the sombrero.
