Thur/Fri drunk post: EP Delta Kitchen/Hoop’s Bar, Circa, Red Rooster

Sorry for missing the “It’s Thursday night” post for those of you looking for it. I had it typed up before I went to work in the morning, just had a couple of items to verify in the Memphis Flyer. But I left my Flyer at work. So my plan was to get to work, look up those items in the Flyer and then post. But the Internet was down at work for hours. Sorry.

EP’s has several upcoming events. Tomorrow (tonight really, Fri 6/6) it’s the Rovers Morning Glory bikini calendar competition sponsored by Miller Lite and 93x from 8:00 to 10:00.

Saturday 6/14 EP’s will host AQUANET, the most awesome ’80s hair band cover band ever. Yep I just might be there for that one.

And don’t forget, Sun 6/22 is Pub Olympics at Hoop’s Bar 1:00 ’til dusk. 3 local bands and team drinking.

I also ran into Red Rooster co-owner Luke. He told me SIN Sunday nights are getting good. He says doors open at 8:00 PM Sunday but it gets interesting about 10:30. Service industry pays no cover; cornhole, tricycle races, kamikaze karaoke (you don’t know what song you’re singing in advance). Looks like I’m going to have pace myself this Sunday and check it out.

Went to the Saucer then Big Foot this evening. Was talking to one of the Saucer bartenders, and she was telling me how they don’t let Saucer employees sit at the bar when they’re off duty. Because, I’m guessing, that looks kind of bad when you, a paying customer, come in off the street and can’t get a seat at the bar due to all the off-duty employees sitting there.

While I was drinking my beer at Big Foot, my former BFF walked in and sat down at the bar. Attn Nuh-Uh Sister: I see what you mean about needing to add strapless bikini tops to the Tube Top Boutique. Tan lines are a bitch.

12:41 AM according to my computer’s clock. Going to bed. Early night.
