Paul Ryburn’s Journal

Blogging on my iPhone from the window at the Flying Saucer.

I forgot to mention in this morning’s post that there’s a luau at the Red Rooster tonight. Drink specials. Wear your beach or summer attire.

Bangkok Alley, the Thai restaurant going into the old Sawaddii location, has a website at www.thebangkokalley.com.

Here’s a look back at a long Memorial Day weekend in photos:

The Dempseys at Automatic Slim’s Friday night, with guest singer.

1970s “Polizei” BMW that was driving around Downtown on Saturday.

This is a drunkass post that won’t go up ’til morning because I have to wait for YouTube to process a video.  I’m going to have to leave it overnight before I publish.  But once it loads… here’s a video of Paula & Raiford’s Disco about 2 AM Saturday night.

She’s not seen in the video, but [...]

Beginning July 1, out-of-state wineries will be able to ship wine directly to Tennessee residents.  They will still have to register with the Tennessee ABC and get a permit.

In honor of the long weekend, Kooky Canuck will sell 34 oz. Super Cold Coors Light for $2 all day Sunday.  Most everyone has Monday off to recover, [...]

And then tonight they brought back the scariest creature of them all.  “Meghan.”  What were they thinking?

Please, Shawn and Lana, let the [...]

May 21 is National Waitstaff day, so be sure to treat your bartenders and servers extra well when you go out tonight.  Here’s an article from WikiHow on how to tip your server at [...]
