So I’ve been sitting around today thinking, “The Dempseys play the Saucer tonight at 9:30, but that’s way later than I usually go out… what am I going to do between the time I get off work and 9:30?”
And just now it occurred to me… I deserve a steak today! I’m so delighted with my decision to kick my BFF to the curb, that I deserve a steak today! So I’m going to load up my wallet with one of my leftover gift cards and enjoy one of the best meals in Downtown Memphis – the Filet Mignon from the Majestic Grille. According to their dinner menu, you can now get it with a peppercorn crust with brandy. That sounds like a winner! I’ll have to decide whether I’m hungry enough to step up to the new 12 oz. filet. I’ve got enough $ on the gift card to get it if I so choose.
I’ll probably start with a couple of Happy Hour beers at the Saucer, then head over to the Majestic for steak. After that it’s back to the Saucer to catch the Dempseys. If I have any energy left afterward I may hit McGuinness or the Rooster for a little while. Two places that will definitely not see me tonight: Big Foot, and Atlas. My former BFF goes to Atlas sometimes when she has Thursday nights off. She brags about how she never has to pay for her drinks there. “Look at this face, Paul,” she once told me. “Do you think this face ever has to pay for anything?” Don’t you just love her? I’m sitting here reading that quote and wondering why I didn’t kick her to the curb weeks ago.
Obviously I didn’t have the lunch buffet at Leonard’s BBQ if I’m thinking about having steak for dinner. I’ll grab a bag of chips on the way back to the office.
Still to come: A post about having fun and staying safe at Music Fest, and a post about goings-on at Circa.
