Don’t forget that Itta Bena has $3 flavored SKYY vodka martinis tonight from 5 to 7. These are the same martinis they served at their Sex and the City party a week ago Friday, so you know there will be lots of girly drinks for ladies who want to chill out after work. I plan on having a few cheap martinis, as much for the girl-watching as for the drink prices; then at 7 I’ll move to the Saucer for Pint Nite.
Sunday Fun Day was a blast yesterday. My BFF Suzy joined me for brunch at the Majestic. She told me she’s having people over for drinks sometime soon, and “you should come, there will be some cute girls there.” BEST BFF EVER. Whoever becomes BFF of the Month for July is going to have a high standard to live up to.
After brunch, we moved on to the Saucer. Played a few pool games, then wandered inside to find a game of drunk darts going on:
Dude, how wasted do you have to be to miss the dart board by THAT MUCH?
Meanwhile, the girls were playing darts on the other board. Apparently they didn’t quite understand how to play cricket, where you close out the 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15 and the bullseye, so they invented their own game:
Amanda (pictured above) told me she was going to wear a tube top, but she went to church and she was afraid the grandmothers there would frown on that type of behavior. Which brings me to this story I found online: 15 Minutes with Sarah Keller. In particular, there was a quote from the interviewee: “One summer my Grandma Carolyn helped me sew a tube top from Wal-Mart Fabric; I was hooked.” BEST GRANDMOTHER EVER! If Grandma Carolyn is still alive, I’m going to send her a fruit basked for Grandparents’ Day in September.
About 5 we did a venue change to Itta Bena, because the girls wanted half-off bottles of wine, which is their Sunday night special. After they polished off a couple of bottles, my friend Kacy came up with one of the best ideas ever: A TubeTopalooza party to celebrate the end of Tube Top Month in a few weeks. Working on the details of that today.
In the news: The Memphis Business Journal reports that there’s a tap water movement going on, where local restaurants served only tap water last Thursday to make customers aware of the environmental impact of bottled water. Downtown restaurants Stella and Circa participated.
And that’s the news for today… heading back to work for more fun with file imports. Yay.
