My BFF Stephanie has been having fun with Photoshop again. Remember last week, when I told you one of my Facebook friends updated her “about me” to read “a nicer, younger, cooler version of Martha Stewart”? Well, said friend had a tea party last Sunday in Cordova, and thanks to the magic of Photoshop, I “attended” the tea.
Wow, that’s a nice necklace I have on! Just to clear up any misconception, I wasn’t there. I have dozens of witnesses that I was downtown that afternoon, attending a birthday party for my friend Lee at the Saucer. Then I went to Barton Flats, where I ate some delicious venison and played Texas Hold ‘Em. Then I went and saw the Dempseys at Huey’s. Then I went to Hoop’s new place. A very fun day, and it definitely didn’t include a tea party.
Last night I heard that the Silly Goose, the new bar opening in the former Swig location, will open December 31. That’s certainly an interesting decision, to make New Year’s Eve its first night. Not necessarily a bad move either, as there will be overflow from other parties in the area. Looking forward to giving the Goose a try, but it won’t be until 2009. I’m very much looking forward to the party in South Main I’m attending to kick off the new year.
Restaurant.com has a new coupon code to save on discount restaurant gift certificates. Through December 22, enter code SANTA at checkout to save a whopping eighty percent. That’s the biggest discount I’ve ever seen them put out there. It means that $25 face-value gift certificates, which normally sell for $10, can now be bought for $2 using the coupon code. You can use it to save 80% on their Dinner of the Month Club too. Over a dozen restaurants in Downtown Memphis, and nearly a hundred around the city, participate in this program. If you’re still looking for Christmas gifts, this might be a way to get your shopping done for cheap.
All right. Time to get some work done on my current project. The Rapscallions will dominate trivia once again tonight at 7.
