Ladies, if you’re going to the Peabody rooftop party tonight, don’t forget to bring your cameras… if some of the same dudes who were there last week show back up, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to take pics to submit to the Hot Chicks with Douchebags website.
Also, don’t forget that the Red Rooster has a great after-party. Every week they select a “Chicklette of the Week” and award her a prize. This week’s Chicklette gets a pair of True Religion jeans. All ladies get in free all night, and the Mudflap Kings will be on stage.
I’ve been so busy talking about the Peabody rooftop party that I forget to mention that the Madison Hotel will also have one tonight… Joyce Cobb will be the entertainment.
I heard from several people that Sawaddii, the Thai restaurant on Union, served its last meal last night. It will reopen as Bangkok Alley next month, with the same staff but a different menu. Sad to see them go… I will miss their dancing-man-hot Salmon Green Curry, their Thai beef salad, and their lettuce wraps. They always had great service there… I’ll never forget the time I ordered to-go and there was a 30-minute wait. It was about to storm and I resigned myself to running home in the rain with my food. They knew I was walking, had it ready in 9 minutes, and I beat the storm. Thanks to the folks at Sawaddii for all the great times.
Susan Marshall will celebrate the release of her third CD, Little Red, with a release party at The Warehouse at Front and GE Patterson on Friday, April 24. Susan, the regular piano player at Itta Bena, will perform with a full band, including Sam Shoup on bass, Dave Cousar on guitar, Ryan Peel on drumps, Scott Thompson on trumpet, and Jim Spake on sax. $5 cover, doors open at 8, music begins at 9. This is also a Trolley Tour night, so you can hit South Main for Trolley Tour, then walk over to the Warehouse.
Eating Taco Bell as I type this… for those who work in Whitehaven, anyone been to that restaurant on Winchester that serves “authentic African cuisine?” It’s on Winchester between Elvis Presley and Mill Branch. Curious what type of cuisine… Ethiopian? Morroccan? Africa’s a rather large place.
My routine seems to be a long night of sleep followed by a late night… last night I was in bed by 9:30. Tonight, on the other hand, with the block party, rooftop party, and the Dempseys, I’m sure to be up late. May stop at Bardog as well… they had a large post-rooftop crowd last Thursday that was still going strong when I left at 1 AM. I’ll catch up on sleep Friday night and be ready to go for Hot Wing Fest and Rajun Cajun this weekend.
