Dear Santa,
It’s supposed to go to 68 degrees here today and 73 tomorrow. All I want for Christmas is to keep this weather all winter long. Oh, and the ability to snap my fingers and have an order of the crawfish nachos from EP’s Delta Kitchen’s late night menu instantly appear.
Thanks,
Paul
For those of you coming downtown for the Christmas parade at 4, you might want to stick around after it’s over and head toward the river… there will be a Holiday Boat Parade presented by the Memphis Yacht Club on the river at 6:30. From what I’ve read, it sounds like the Riverside Drive walkway across from the foot of Mud Island will be the best place to see the boats. For those of you participating in the parade, be careful not to hit the mana… oh, wait, he’s already dead, nevermind.
Speaking of EP’s… Dani will be singing there Tuesday night. I remember hearing her at one of the 2005 Court Square concerts, and she has an amazing voice. Maybe I’ll head down there and catch part of her show after trivia at the Saucer.
Also, EP’s has their special New Year’s Eve dinner menu on their site. They have a 3-course and a 4-course option. If you go to their main page, you’ll see a banner you can click to pull up the menu. Grilled venison tenderloin is one of the options on the 4-course dinner… yum!
Just discovered that Abyssinia, the Ethopian restaurant on Poplar that I keep meaning to go visit but for some reason never get there, has their menu online. They have a lunch buffet on the weekdays, and that place is like a 2-minute drive from where I work. Dude, I am so there one day next week!
I’m heading out to take some photos of Downtown for my new website, and to catch the parade. I’ve been wearing a Santa hat every day this week, but I won’t be able to wear it today… you see, I’m meeting some friends at Swig for drinks tonight, and they have their incredibly stupid “Gentlemen, please remove your hats” rule. I guess I could wear the hat all day and take it off when I enter Swig, but then I’d be walking around with hat-hair, which is not good. So I guess I’ll leave the Santa hat at home. Anyway, I’m outta here, see you later!
