I’m never going to question my team members’ spelling again. Last night we had a trivia question: “Which party are Tony Blair and current British PM Gordon Brown members of?” I wrote “Labor” and handed it to my teammate Eric to hand in. He corrected it to “Labour,” causing several team members and me to complain, “Oh, come on, Eric, he’s not going to be that picky about the spelling.”
The Rapscallions won, beating the St. Jude team by only one point. They ran over to compare scorecards. “Pete the Trivia Guy gave us an extra point for spelling ‘Labour’ right,” they told us. Then I realized if Eric hadn’t corrected our spelling, we would’ve missed out on the extra point, and been forced into a tie-breaker with the St. Jude team. Great job, Eric!
Thanks to the win, we now have $320 in Saucer money to spend, plus another $150 across the street at Jillian’s. We’re going to be some drunk people by the end of the night when we have our party.
I should’ve got to the Saucer earlier… when I arrived at 6:30, I learned that I had missed bartender Brittney fall off the bar by about 5 minutes. She had climbed up there to change something on the chalkboard above the bar. Old Lazy-Ass was so unfamiliar with the concept of “work” that she fell. They should’ve told her, “Brittney, stand around and talk to people while someone else updates the chalkboard.” That she could’ve handled.
While there, I noticed a flyer saying that The Dempseys will be playing the Saucer Thursday night! Yay… attn consulting clients, I won’t be available before 10 AM Friday as a result. I wonder if Brad is able to sing again? He had a throat operation and couldn’t talk for two weeks, and couldn’t sing for six. Another of my favorites, Snozberry, plays the Saucer Saturday night.

I have to drive the car TWICE today… ugh. At least the rain will wash the dust away. My second trip in the car will be to MPACT Memphis’ happy hour at Mollie Fontaine Lounge tonight at 6. Maybe I’ll see you there!
