This morning I wrote about protester Jackie Smith’s performance at last night’s concert at the National Civil Rights Museum, noting that I wouldn’t go so far as to call her a “racist poser” as another Downtown blogger has in the past, but her actions were clearly unproductive, and even counterproductive, to recruiting people to support her cause.
Well, the blogger that called her a “racist poser” in the past responded – and had no problem calling her a racist poser again, backed it up with facts, and also offered speculation where her funding comes from. Check out the response on Memphis Limelight.
After the concert, I ended up at Bardog Tavern last night. They had planned to start opening for lunch this week, but due to an illness, they have postponed doing lunch until next Monday, October 6. That’s fine, I’d rather they take their time and do it right. Attn co-workers who read this blog: GO THERE for lunch when the place opens! You’ll love it… get those sirloin sliders!!!!
I haven’t heard officially, but I seriously doubt the Saturday brunch at Calhoun’s, which has been such a success the past two weeks, will happen this week. Its organizers are busy working on another event which will take place this Saturday. The brunch will likely be back the week after.
Author Natalie McLean sent my fellow blogger Dr. Booze a link to her online food and wine matching tool… you choose the type of food you have, or the type of wine you have, and it returns wine suggestions for food, or food suggestions for wine. Check out Dr. Booze’s post about it.
I don’t know of any places publicly showing the vice-presidential debate tonight, so I’ll probably stay home this evening, work on my new website, and watch the debate on my own TV. Afterward I’ll go out for a little while. Deep Shag is playing the Saucer, and Bardog is another possible stop.
Heading back to work for a 1:30 meeting…
