Fifteen different cocktails and pints of PBR are only $1 each at the Silly Goose from 5 to 7 tonight. That’s a deal you can’t beat! Here’s a link to a photo of the dollar cocktail menu (from Hot Wing Fest, where the Goose was our team’s sponsor), and here’s a link to a recent Commercial Appeal article on the Goose’s drink specials. Not only do you get your choice of cocktails for a buck, but you get free tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. After the dollar deal ends at 7, they have $2 domestic longnecks for the remainder of the evening. If you want to do a little bar-hopping, the best Pint Nite in the city is next door at the Flying Saucer – $2.75 for your choice of almost 70 draft beers. Needless to say, the Goose and then the Saucer are on my agenda for tonight.
In other news: Yesterday as I was walking to Hot Wing Fest, I noticed police cars blocking off the entire block of Union between Second and Third. I figured maybe there was a big celebrity in town, but then I noticed there was an ambulance too. This morning, I found out what was going on… a wall collapsed at the Benchmark Hotel/Denny’s at Union and Third, injuring a woman who’d just eaten there.
Friday night is Trolley Tour night, and LOOK AT THE WEATHER!!! As of right now they’re predicting high 83, low 64, with little chance of rain. Sounds like this is the night we’ve been waiting for. I bet South Main will be packed. Galleries and shops will be open from 6 to 9 PM, many of them serving refreshments. Also, if you’re a South Main Association member, you get free food and Boscos beer in the parking lot next to Bluff City Coffee. If you’re not a member, you can join just in time for the SMA’s Cinco de Mayo party (which will actually be held on Cuatro de Mayo).
Eating an Italian oven-baked sandwich from Domino’s as I type this… when I picked it up, I noticed they had a “big deal bailout” which I think was 3 pizzas for $5 each. As I’ve said before, everyone has to call their discount a “bailout” or a “stimulus” these days.
Back to work… wish I had a fast-forward button to move the time up to 5 PM. Silly Goose, here I come.
