– According to a story in the Commercial Appeal today, environmentalists are predicting that there will be no seafood left in the world by 2048, due to overfishing and pollution. So you better hit Shoney’s Friday night all-you-can-eat seafood buffet while you still can.
– After my post about next weekend’s Fried Glass Onions event, I received an e-mail from musician Jeff Golightly, who played on the first Fried Glass Onions CD (the CD series is a tribute to the Beatles by Memphis musicians). He has a one-man solo act where he plays songs by not only the Beatles but other British Invasion bands, including The Kinks, The Who, Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Rolling Stones, and more. In his sets, he not only plays the songs on his authentic Rickenbacker guitar and Vox amp, but also relates stories of his trip to Liverpool and his vast background knowledge of all these bands. He says he’s available for club and private party gigs and is very reasonably priced. You can read his bio and contact him for bookings via his MySpace page.
– I know a lot of the Sleep Out Louie’s regulars read this blog… do me a favor and go up there and play the NTN Trivia game. Management is going to get rid of it if usage doesn’t increase between now and February. It gets used a lot on Sunday (because of brunch) and Monday (people playing the QB1 game where you predict the next play on Monday Night Football), but not the other days. So if you get a chance during the week, go up there, play some trivia, spend some money and help convince management to keep NTN.
– I’m going to be going out a little bit less this month… I really need to get a thorough understanding of Cascading Style Sheets and ASP.NET 2.0 for some website projects I plan on doing this winter. So I’ll be going out to bars a little bit less (although, for me, that means going to bars 4 nights a week instead of 7) and Wi-Fi enabled coffee shops more. I don’t expect it to have an impact on my frequency of blogging – I’ll still find plenty to write about.
Got a meeting at 1, time to head back to work.
