Got a couple of day-before-VDay notes to pass along. The Memphis Flyer’s “Hotties” issue comes out today, where they name the hottest males and females in the city. This year they’re throwing a big party to celebrate the issue, and inviting the hotties and their readers. They’re handing out free appetizers (including oysters) and making a special Hotties cocktail to get everyone in the mood. It will be at The Cove tonight from 7 to 9.
To get to The Cove, take Sam Cooper Blvd. to Hollywood. Turn north on Hollywood (which would be a left turn if you’re coming from Downtown) then take an immediate turn to the east (right) on Broad. Broad is only like a half block north of Sam Cooper; if you’re on Hollywood and you hit Summer you went too far. The Cove is a couple blocks down from Hollywood on Broad. If you’ve never been to The Cove you should go. Really cool spot. You can read about it in this post about my recent field trip there.
Attn Johnny Cash fans: The buy-the-beer, keep-the-glass glass tonight at the Flying Saucer is a special Valentine’s Day glass featuring a young Johnny Cash and June Carter. This looks like one of the cooler designs they’ve had in a while. They go on sale at 7. Also, if you’re a UFO Club member, the “Important Beer Goddess Video” they e-mailed contains a beer quiz for a $5 gift certificate. Remember, if you’re taking the quiz you’re already on the Internet – so you can pop open a new window or tab and use Google or Wikipedia to cheat.
Tigers vs. Houston tonight at 8. This is one of the few opponents in Conference USA that is not a complete joke of a team, so we better be prepared if we want to remain #1. If we lose it’ll doubly suck because Duke would take our top spot. Have I mentioned I hate Duke?
Last night’s beers 25, 26, and 27:
Previous total: $121.25
Beers:
Blue Moon FINALLY A DECENT FIRE SALE!!! $2.75
Labatt Blue draft (I screwed up – meant to get the bottle) $4.25
Miller Lite bottle $3.25
Tip $10.25 x ~30% = $3.00
Total $13.25
Grand total: $134.50
Now up to 3 beer tickets that have gotten lost… so I claim I’m at 27 and the Saucer claims I’m at 24. Now, I’ve been meaning to take the list of beers I’ve had in and see if I can get those three credited back… and because they know me well, they’d probably give them to me. But, you know, if I want this to be a true, accurate reflection of the cost of getting a plate, maybe I shouldn’t get those beers credited back. Lost beers are part of the cost most people would encounter en route to finishing.
One of the trivia questions last night was “Two of the major companies that provide credit reports are Equifax and Experian. What’s the third?” Haha… sometimes it’s nice to work for a company that sells background checking services. (The answer is Trans Union by the way – and that’s not my company) I need to do a post about my company sometime. I’ve avoided mentioning them by name because I don’t know if they want their good name associated with drunk posts, bums, Tube Top Month and all the other idiocy that goes on here. But it’s a really cool startup company and some BIG names in the IT business are involved.
Speaking of which, it’s time to get to work. But before I do, let me announce the winner of trivia last night. That would be none other than THE RAPSCALLIONS!!! We tied for first place and then won the tie-breaker question to get our first $50 toward Rapscallion Party VII.
