Sitting here in the Saucer listening to Leo Lazarus the Tuesday night guitar player while working on my next online shopping site. Former waitress Darbi got up on stage and sang a few songs. Trivia: The first time I met Darbi, she had a tube top on.
Tonight Barack Obama clinched the Democratic nomination. One of my favorite sites, RealClearPolitics, has an electoral map projecting the outcome of a presidential election between Obama and McCain. As of tonight they project 228 electoral votes for Obama, 190 for McCain, with 120 electoral votes in toss-up states. If there were no toss-up states, Obama would win by the razor-thin margin of 272 to 266. Hopefully he’ll pull off a larger victory than that by November, but as I’ve said before, even if McCain wins it will be a tremendous improvement over what we have in the White House right now.
A couple of days ago I mentioned that the Peabody Rooftop now has a fan club on Facebook. Well, now Raiford’s (Hollywood Disco) does too. Search for “Raiford’s Hollywood Discotech Fan Club.” I joined today. Raiford’s is a great place to see tube tops on the weekends.
One of Downtown’s best breakfast/lunch spots is now open on Saturday. Elliott’s Burgers, on Second between Madison and Monroe, started opening on Saturdays last month. They have some of the best burgers Downtown, as well as many other great lunch sandwich options. And I LOVE their breakfast – they have bowls, burritos, omelets, sandwiches. My favorite is their “Tribute to Bill Saba” which is sausage, bacon, ham, egg, and cheese on buttered Texas toast. My health guru AL definitely does NOT approve of this sandwich. If you live Downtown but don’t work down here, this is your chance to finally try the place for breakfast or lunch.
Cool website I found: Cooltext.com. This site will generate logos for you for free for your website. If you need a website cheap but lack graphic design experience, you can create a nice-looking logo and save it for use on the Web.
All right. Battery’s close to dying. Time to post. Trivia team took second.
