Raise Your Glass for Patriot's Day!

Did you know that April 16th was Patriot's Day?  Outside of New England, most people do not. But in New England it is a huge holiday.

Patriot's Day falls on the third Monday in April and commemorates the Battle of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. This is the battle that began the American Revolutionary War.  Patriot's Day also honors the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, the evening he rode through town warning the colonists that "The Red Coats are coming!"

Although April 16th has passed, Cafe Mojo invites you to come in and toast the brave soldiers of the Revolutionary War and offer your thanks for the Independence of America!

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day!

Get ready!  St. Patrick's Day celebrating is coming soon!  Saturday March 17th, 2012 will be a day of shamrocks, corned beef and cabbage, and our favorite ..... green beer!  Are you ready for some St. Patrick's Day fun?  Let Cafe Mojo get you started!

Green beer?  Where did that come from? It's not necessarily known who first came up with green beer, but some say it was a Dr. Curtin at a social club in NY back in 1914.  We found a story which explains that Dr. Curtain put "wash blue" dye into the beer, but no mention of why he did it or if there was even any connection to Ireland or St. Patrick's Day at all.

By the 1950's, green beer really caught on.  In fact, in 1952, Miami University (in Ohio) began a tradition called "Green Beer Day."  Held every year on the Thursday before their spring break, Green Beer Day was the school's alternative to St. Patrick's Day since the holiday fell during their vacation.

So green beer is not that unusual on St. Patrick's Day.  What about a green river?  That's right!  In 1962 city workers poured green dye into the river which kept it green for a week!  Today, less dye is used and the river stays green for just a few hours.

Cafe Mojo proudly offers Beers from Around the World and will have plenty of the ever popular Guiness on hand for your celebration.  Here are some Irish toasts for you to share:

"My friends are the best friends

Loyal, willing, and able.

Now let's get to drinking!

All glasses off the table!" 

"Here's to a long life and a merry one.

A quick death and a easy one.

A pretty girl and an honest one.

A cold beer - and another one!

Here's to being single...

Drinking doubles....

And seeing triple!

Have fun and be safe!

Unusual Halloween Movies

Trick r' Treat veers off of the standard madman terrorizes teens plot and follows a more Tales From The Crypt format. Starring Anna Paquin, this movie sucks you in right from the beginning.  Here is an excerpt from the official website:

Interested?  Check out the trailer here.

The Last Exorcism is a documentary style film.  Here is a summary written by Jason Buchanan for Rotten Tomatoes:

Disillusioned charlatan Reverend Cotton Marcus (Patrick Fabian) comes face to face with pure evil after recruiting a documentary film crew to capture the final exorcism of his career. For years, Reverend Marcus has taken advantage of the faithful and desperate. Now it's time for him to finally come clean. Just as Reverend Marcus prepares to shoot the film that will set the record straight, he receives an urgent letter from a desperate farmer. The devil has taken possession of his beloved daughter Nell (Ashley Bell), and Reverend Marcus is their last hope for salvation. Up to this point it's been all fun and games; now things are about to get serious.

Enjoy the trailer!
