YAY!!! I’ve been asked to be a “celebrity judge” for 2nd annual Clark’s Christmas Dinner and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Viewing Party tomorrow night at the Majestic Grille. There will be prizes awarded for the best character from the movie, and the best Christmas sweater. I did this last year and it was a fun time… people really went all out on their costumes and sweaters. Here’s the menu:
Mixed Greens Salad
Bourbon and Brown Sugar Glazed Baked Ham
Green Bean Casserole
Baby Parsley Potatoes
Warm Biscuits
Sherry Trifle
Dinner is $24.95 per person. This event sold out last year, so if you want to attend you better call 901-522-8555 as soon as possible to make reservations. Online reservations are not accepted for this event. Dinner at 7:30 (regular menu available too in addition to the holiday dinner), movie at 8:00. Contest winners will be announced after the movie.
Reminds me, I’ve been meaning to do a link to my friend Buck Daddy’s site – he runs a Tacky Christmas Sweater Store which is real popular this time of the year. As with my stores, Amazon handles the payment and shipping, so you’re dealing with one of the best, most secure checkout processes you can find online.
Here’s a link to a CA article about Marvin Stockwell’s PR class for nonprofits and civic and congregational groups. If you belong to such a group, Marvin has lots of good tips to help you get the word out.
Here’s an article on this past weekend’s Downtown holiday parade. Congrats to the winners of the storefront decorating contest… I’m really surprised Calhoun’s didn’t take first though.
The recently established Memphis chapter of the national Social Media Club will host a TweetUp from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at South of Beale, 361 S. Main.

Congratulations to my friends Dennis and Mary Pat on getting their second plates at the Saucer this weekend. There aren’t actually two plates, for those not familiar with the UFO Club… they simply change the plate’s color from black to yellow. Hmmm… looking at the plates on the wall above the stage, it’s pretty boring… ALL black and yellow… I think we need a green plate up there, right in the middle of the top row. We’ll see if something can be done about that Saturday after next.
All right, lunch break over, back to work. We just completed a big national bridge tournament so I’ve got about a zillion photos to crop and resize. Fun. After work: It’s Monday, what else but Pint Nite? Not really in the mood for poker tonight at the Goose, but I may change my mind by 7:30. Need to accumulate points for the final table.
