Calhoun’s, the friendly neighborhood sports bar on G.E. Patterson in the South Main District, has been nominated for Best Sports Bar in Memphis Sport Magazine’s annual poll. Go here to vote for Calhoun’s. Lots of reasons to vote for Calhoun’s… awesome flat panel TVs… awesome game packages on the TVs… awesome beer selection… awesome bartenders… awesome owners… awesome beer specials when the Cardinals and Cubs are playing.
Had a 4-hour BBQ team planning meeting last night at the Saucer. Earlier in the week I asked to be more involved, and boy did I get my wish and then some. It’s all coming together though. Can’t wait for the end of next week!
I guess I need to get back on good terms with my former BFF, so I can invite her and her roommates and her mini-me and her Club Atlas party buddy to our BBQ booth. Although, the way she drinks, that could add a couple extra hundred dollars to our liquor budget (not to mention a huge bottle of Gatorade for her to chug after she’s all drunk and dehydrated). She was in the Saucer last night and I thought about going over and talking to her, but she was with someone who doesn’t seem to be able to observe the Mikeyism “this is an A and B conversation, so I’d better C my way out.” I hate to say it but I actually miss her a little. Hopefully I’ll get to talk to her and extend the booth invite sometime in the next few days.
The South Main Association has its next meeting next Tuesday, May 13 at 6 PM, and they’re doing it in a great venue… the Red Rooster!

LaunchMemphis’s kickoff party, the Tech Fuel Networking Event, is tonight from 5 to 7 at the Fox & Hound Sanderlin. This is a place for technologists, entrepreneurs, and business professionals to share ideas. Open to the public, free appetizers, discounted drink specials. More events coming this month too… check them out at launchmemphis.com.
Still thinking Itta Bena after work (gotta hand out BBQ invitations there too), then Saucer, then Rooster.
