I didn’t go to the Saucer to laptop after work as planned. I was at a critical point in designing my latest online store – settling on its look and feel – and that needed to be done someplace where I could focus. So I worked at home on my laptop until 7:30.
Unfortunately, I had posted that I’d be at the Saucer, and my new BFF Suzy read the post and headed up there to hang out with me. This is something my former BFF Meghan never, ever did by the way. So when I walked by the Saucer on my way to Itta Bena, my BFF was in the window waiting for me. We walked to Itta Bena together.
At the bar at Itta Bena we found the Nuh-Uh Girl and the Nuh-Uh Sister. The Nuh-Uh Sister told me she had her picture on Memphis Limelight’s BBQ Fest post… somehow I missed that one, glad she pointed it out. Even there she was identified by her nickname.
The Nuh-Uh Sister then made a very good point. “You need to add a tube top bikini top, or strapless bikini top, section to your Tube Top Boutique,” she told me. “Girls want to lay out and not get tan lines. If we have tan lines we can’t wear tube tops out.” This is why I depend on my female readers for feedback; she’s absolutely right, and as a guy this is something I wouldn’t have thought of. I’ll add a bikini top section this weekend.
Then Suzy went outside to smoke – “BRB, BFF!” she said – and the GM came over to say hello. She gave me a card listing Itta Bena’s new daily specials. Here they are:
Sunday
1/2 off any bottle of wine
Monday
$3.00 on select SKYY martinis, 5-7 PM
Tuesday
1/2 off steaks
All three of those are great deals. Every female who saw the special card said they’d be at Itta Bena Monday for $3 martinis. If the place is going to fill up with girls, I guess I’ll have to be there too, and wait until 7 to hit Pint Nite at the Saucer.
Hmmm… half off steaks on Tuesdays… bet we’ll be seeing less of Ken at trivia night.
My new BFF also told one of the servers she’d loan her a tube top to wear out. “You will totally rock that tube top,” said my new BFF to the server (I agree, by the way). My new BFF is the best BFF ever.
Tabbed out a little after 10, and for once I got a full night’s sleep. I’ll post a “what’s going on Thursday” post around lunchtime.
