MATT DRISCOLL: SPICE BAY BUFFET TODAY >>>

I know the Muckleshoot Casino in Auburn is a little out of our usual area, but WTF. Every once in a while I like to fly by the seat of my pants. Turns out there’s more to Auburn than just teenage pregnancy and feelings of hopelessness â€" mainly, the Muckleshoot Casino’s Spice Bay Buffet, which apparently features tastes and delicacies from around the world â€" all under the protection of a sneeze guard.

Today, Wednesday, 9-9-09, Spice Bay Buffet is offering a special dinner deal that allows you to stuff your face for just $9.99. According to the promotional material, this is a chance for you to celebrate like it’s 9-9-09, which make sense, considering it will be 9-9-09.

Unlike when I partied like it was 1999, in 1999, my evening at Spice Bay Buffet tonight will not be cut short by fears that the Y2K bug will soon eradicate life as I know it â€" and, more importantly, leave me unable to sign on to AOL.
