Paul Ryburn’s Journal

So, yesterday I pulled out my camera.  I thought to myself, “I wonder how many Wine Race photos I took?  About 30?”

Nope.  I took 190.  The highlights are below.  You’ll note that most of the photos were not taken at Wine Race itself… the best happened after everyone had consumed multiple Call-a-Cabs at Wet Willie’s.

If you missed Wine Race or left before the end, you can see who won here.

I took a lot of pics but they were Paul’s Drunkass Pics since Call-a-Cabs were involved.  When I get a chance I’ll go through them and see what’s on the camera that is blogworthy.  I know I took several tube top [...]

Yesterday at Wine Race, I wandered over to the Red Rooster and checked in on Foursquare.  I became the mayor of the Rooster, making me a Super Mayor as I simultaneously hold 10 mayorships.  Most of them are not that interesting – places where I eat lunch on the weekdays account for about half.

Before I went [...]

I just downloaded my photos from Memphis Brewfest and wow, are they ever horrible.  Out of all the ones I took there are maybe 3 good ones.  Lots of out of focus shots, shots with half of people’s heads cut off, shots with eyes closed, etc.  That’s what happens when the point is to get as [...]

If you didn’t get a chance to check out the grand opening of the Red Rooster Thursday night, here are some pics of the first floor and patio.  I didn’t get up to the second floor.

Kooky Canuck is known as one of the best places Downtown to get value for your money, and that will definitely be the case for their Kooky de Mayo party they’re throwing May 5.  Take a look at the specials they have planned for that day.

If you read my blog on Thursday, you saw that I made a post where I claimed to have hacked the Cordova Flying Saucer’s computers.  I said that I stole next Tuesday’s questions for trivia night, and posted them.  Of course, the whole thing was a joke.  It was obvious I made up the questions, and [...]

This weekend’s storms have convinced me that MemphisWeather.net is a site to be bookmarked and checked frequently.  In addition to their main page with forecasts and radar links and such, their blog is a great resource to read for inclement weather info.  Great updates on Twitter at @memphisweather1 from them, and you can “Like” MemphisWeather.net on [...]

Thursday night I went to the Beale Street East End grand re-opening party.  I took a few pics of The Rooster, the W.C. Handy House, etc. and I happened to catch the tall buildings of Downtown in the background.  As I examined one of them, I noticed something odd hanging off the Sterick Building’s flag pole.  [...]

If you have a ticket to Memphis Brewfest, it’s been delayed one hour until 5 PM due to today’s storms.  Event will last until 9 PM.  The Memphis Flyer, the Flying Saucer, and a bunch of beer distributors are the sponsors.  I’ve been told the after-party will be at the Saucer.  Brick will be working.  Yay!

Oh, [...]
