Wed update: Night off, guest blogger, hotel open

I’ve decided I’m going to take a night off from going out… my injured rib really needs a night of rest.  So, no poker at Bardog tonight even though I’d previously planned to go.  It’ll still be there next week.

I’m going to have a post by a guest blogger soon – none other than the Nuh-Uh Girl.  I make lots of “free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up” jokes on this blog, but the fact is, she has been really helpful to downtown restaurants promoting special dishes, dinners, etc. via social media.  So I’m going to let her post and talk about that.  She can also tell her side of the “free food” issue or whatever else she chooses to talk about. 

Not a whole lot going on Downtown tonight… the big thing is that the Tigers host UAB at the FedExForum at 7 PM, in what is pretty much a game the Tigers must win if we want to keep our hopes alive of getting an at-large bid from the NCAA next month.  We’ve got another huge game Saturday, when we host Gonzaga at 3.

In the news – the Courtyard by Marriott at Main and Jefferson opened Monday.  There’s a new restaurant inside the hotel, called The Bistro at Court Square, which also opened Monday.  I’ll have to give that a try soon.

That’s all for now… time to run downstairs and pick up the sandwich I ordered from Domino’s.
