Article on laptops under $1000, lunchtime plans, and where are the Halloween parties?

I added a new article to Saving Consumers Time yesterday.  This one reviews three good laptops under $1000 – a Toshiba Satellite that is loaded except it has last year’s processor (which is still fine for the average user), a loaded 17″ HP laptop, and a MacBook under $1000 that would be a great computer if you add some extra RAM.

Hung out at Bardog for a few PBRs last night, then hit the Saucer to catch Funk de Ville.  Was going to meet up with some people on Beale later, but realized I didn’t have their number in my phone due to the PBR-induced haze I was in Tuesday night.

Stuff I want to do at lunchtime while I’m off work:

  • Eat soul food at Alcenia’s.  Never been.
  • Eat tapas at Safari.  Haven’t been yet, except for the SMA meeting.
  • Sit on Blues City Pastry’s patio during lunchtime, work on my laptop, and watch people walk by.  Perfect weather for it this week.

What Halloween parties are going on Downtown this year?  The only one I know of so far is Big Foot on the 30th, and my apartment building’s party and a few other private ones.  If you know of any that are open to the public, let me know and I’ll blog them.  Don’t forget to check out Skank-o-ween for Halloween costumes.
