The South Main Association has their monthly meeting tonight at The Center For Southern Folklore, on Main between Gayoso and Peabody Place. The speakers will be Judy who runs the Center, as well as Elizabeth Alley, Director of Art with the Urban Art Commission. Social at 6, program at 6:30, free to the public.
Of course, I won’t be able to make the meeting, because it’s trivia night. Having spent all their trivia money, the legendary Rapscallions are looking for a first-place win to start their new gift certificate bank account off with a 50. If you don’t feel like getting your ass kicked by us in trivia at the Saucer, keep in mind that Tug’s on Mud Island also does a Tuesday trivia night now.

There were several additional Special Lagers which didn’t count toward the plate. I ended up on the losing side of a dart game last night but have decided to remain unretired anyway.
Off to work.
