Orange Julius

God must really love me. In addition to getting a free dance class yesterday, I got a free Orange Julius. On the fly!

Less than a block from my house, they are just opening a Dairy Queen/Orange Julius. Which is both brilliant and dangerous. I'm just glad it's only moving in as I am moving out, because otherwise, I'd be broke and fat. But happy! Because I love DQ, but Orange Julius is a truly rare beast.

Walking home from the bus last night, I saw some activity in the space. And saw people with DQ cups. So I wandered over to investigate. It was a pre-opening, "by invitation only" (meaning you just had to say hi to the guy in the polo shirt). Stand in queue, order anything off the menu, and get it for free! How awesome!

Actually, it's a brilliant idea. Not only does it make your presence known in the community, but it builds good will. And it gives your staff a chance to practice.
