As I walked by Kooky Canuck last night, I saw a sign saying they’re celebrating the 3-day weekend (for some people) this weekend with $2 34 oz. beer all day Sunday. I need to walk by again and get the details from the sign on the door, but I think it’s Super Cold Coors Light.
The Flying Saucer is going to give away this bike on Fat Tuesday, February 24:
Apologies for the hazy-looking pic… digital cameras need a setting to balance colors in pics taken in nasty, filthy, disgusting cigarette smoke. The Saucer will have $2.75 Fat Tire pints every Tuesday between now and February 24, and every time you buy one you can ask your waitress or bartender for an entry form to fill out. On the 24th a drawing will be done from the entry forms for the bike. But here’s the catch – drawing will be at 10 PM, and you must be present to win.
I was at the bar for Pint Nite last night, and one of the people sitting at the bar with me nicknamed Lazy Magnolia beer “Brittney Magnolia.” He came up with this name after bartender Brittney spent most of the first two hours of her shift standing around talking to people, while the other two bartenders ran around and poured beer and waited on customers. So Britt joins the elite club of people who have a beer nicknamed after them – a club I’m already a member of, due to the “Paulie Lager” (Dos Equis Lager with extra limes).
Don’t forget the South Main Association meeting tonight at Sole, the restaurant in the Westin Hotel that used to be Daily Grill. It’s an important meeting for two reasons: 1) Jeff Sanford, the president of the Center City Commission, will give a “State of Downtown” address; and 2) free wine and food for members! Members can renew their memberships for 2009 tonight. Mingling at 6 PM, with Di Anne Price on piano; the speech starts sometime after that, probably around 7. Free food… wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up?
Anyone else find it interesting that Jeff is giving this speech to the SMA and not the DNA?
Attn my fellow BBQ team members: I’ve updated our website so that you can now pay online via PayPal and download a copy of the 2009 membership application to fill out.
Fellow blogger Dr. Booze had an interesting post on Sunday: He found an article explaining how to create your own flavored vodka using Skittles. Yum! Bet that would be a big hit at Downtown house parties.
If the person who ordered 17 party dresses from my Skank-o-ween costume store yesterday is a reader of this blog, thank you! I’ll make over 50 bucks commission on those. If you’re planning a costume party, Skank-o-ween is a great place to look for ideas. It’s not just for Halloween!
Had some more weird dreams last night. In one dream, I was living in a college dorm room, and the room was decorated with LSU Tigers furniture. I like LSU, but in real life I’d probably decorate with Memphis or Arkansas stuff instead. Also, my next-door neighbor in the dorm was a polar bear.
Then, I had a dream that a FedEx plane was flying extremely low through neighborhoods, just barely above rooftops, to avoid bad weather. I’ve had this dream a couple of other times recently, but this time, the plan crashed and started a fire. I hope that’s just a dream and not a premonition of an actual event.
Time to get the day started… I’ll be late for trivia tonight due to the SMA meeting.
