Dinosaur Eyelids is not just rocking the world in person or via audio and video. They are also running wild in print format. The band stated:
"We are beyond honored to have Dinosaur Eyelids earn a chapter in the amazing new book “Still Drinkin' & Smokin', Rockin' & Rollin': An Oral History of John & Peter’s.” Thank you to the amazing Amy Yates Wuelfling for generously including us.

The Best Lunches At Bar Anticipation In Lake Como, NJ From An Expert
Of course, Bar Anticipation located at 703 16th avenue in Lake Como New Jersey is a world renowned nightclub. It has a spacious bi level, multi room indoor area with a huge stage. Furthermore, it's sprawling backyard, with tiki bars, sand, waterfalls, and more, truly makes it the place "Where Summer Never Ends". However, many people overlook Bar A for one of its finest attributes: The Daily Blue Plate Special!
What is a "Blue Plate Special"?
According to Wikipedia, a blue-plate special is a discount-priced meal that usually changes daily: a term used in the United States and Canada by restaurants, especially diners and cafes. The term was very common from the 1920s through the 1950s. As of 2007, there are still a few restaurants and diners that offer blue-plate specials under that name, sometimes on blue plates, but it is a vanishing tradition. However, the phrase is still a common American colloquialism.
We brought in a Blue Plate Special Expert.
Meanwhile, Bar Anticipations menu shows all the delicious Blue Plate Specials they offer each and every day https://bar-a.com/dining/daily-specials/ However, it takes a real expert to rank them. Someone who spends more time there that at his actual job. We know that guy. You know that guy. It's Mr. Bar A. Mr. Miller Lite. Mr. Blue Plate Special. It's America's Sweetheart. It's Gotts.
Gotts doesn't know much. But he knows Bar Anticipation. Furthermore, he LOVES their Blue Plate Special Lunches. Even though I've had them a few times over the years, and quite like them myself, I know I need to defer to an expert in this department. Not a week goes by that old Gottsie doesn't have at least one lunch at Bar A. That's not counting liquid lunch of course.
So, without further adieu, here is the Gotts Man's official ranking, in order of his favorites, of Bar Anticipation's Blue Plate Special lunches, complete with starch and veg, Monday through Friday 11-4, for $7.95.
PORK CHOP THURSDAYS
Gott's top pick. He says it's tender, juicy, and center cut. The delicious sauce makes him rank it number one!
MEATLOAF TUESDAYS
Gotts thought nobody made meatloaf like his mom. That's until he tried Bar A's Tuesday Blue Plate Special! Sometimes he forgets where he is and yells "MOM MORE MEATLOAF!".
GUINNESS BEEF STEW MONDAYS
Gotts is usually pretty banged up on Mondays, so he likes to ease into the week with a little hair of the dog. The Guinness Beef Stew is tender, flavorful and hearty. Just like Gotts' liver on a Monday.
CHICKEN POT PIE WEDNESDAYS
By the time lunchtime on Wednesday rolls around, Gotts has already spend the morning being pretty well beat up by Carl and Dave on the Morning Rat Race, so he's in need of some comfort food. Thank God that's the day the Bar A Blue Plate is filled with homemade Chicken Pot Pie!
FISH N CHIPS FRIDAYS
Gotts hates fish. Sorry Fridays. But look on the bright side - You're still his favorite day of the week!
