    A few pics from yesterday

    Just found a few pics I took yesterday.  Let’s see what we’ve got on the ol’ camera.

    Brick stopped by the Saucer window to talk. She had her Silly Goose work uniform on, including her too-short shorts. She wouldn't let me take a close-up pic of the shorts.

    After [...]

    Mon update: Fireworks, South Main, tube top dresses and more

    I found out what caused those two explosions/fireballs at the end of Sunset Symphony fireworks Saturday night.  I was told that they were caused by two 55-gallon drums of unleaded gasoline, and it was not an accident.  Someone thought it would be a good idea to do that on purpose?  Geez.  I guess they wanted something [...]

    Sunday night recommendation

    If you’re off tomorrow and are looking to stay out late and have a true Downtown locals’ experience, I recommend FreeWorld at Blues City Cafe at Second and Beale.  Every Sunday they play at 10:30 PM, kinda late when you have work the next day, but totally do-able when Memorial Day is tomorrow.  Blues City is [...]

    Fireworks and more pics from yesterday

    Yesterday’s plans got messed up somewhat, but it still ended up a fine day.  I spent the afternoon at the Saucer chatting with my friends Dennis and Mary Pat from Huntsville, then stopped by Rio Loco for a quick bite to eat.  Next stop was to be Tom Lee Park, where I had tube tops waiting [...]

    Kooky Canuck’s day-before-Memorial-Day celebration: 99 cent Bud Light

    Don’t forget that Kooky Canuck is celebrating Memorial Day Eve by offering 99 cent Super Cold Bud Light from open to close Sunday, May 30.  Good chance to drink a lot of beer for cheap.  If it’s the usual schedule, it should be Magan behind the bar for the day shift.  Magan sometimes wears tube tops [...]

    KC and the Sunshine Band play Sunset Symphony tonight. What to wear? A tube top, of course!

    ’70s disco band KC and the Sunshine Band plays Sunset Symphony tonight.  They had many famous dance hits including “Shake Your Booty,” “I’m Your Boogie Man,” “That’s the Way (I Like it),” “Get Down Tonight,” and “Give it Up.”

    Ladies, are you trying to figure out what to wear to Sunset Symphony?  Why not boogie down in [...]

    Please pardon the mess – playing around with a new theme

    I’m playing around with new WordPress themes today, in order to enhance your tube top viewing pleasure.  This blog may appear somewhat discombobulated this weekend as I experiment with theme options.  Hopefully, I’ll have the blog back and looking better than ever before you know it.  [...]

    Tube Top Month is off to a fantastic start!

    I kicked off Tube Top Month at Trolley Night in South Main.  Here are some pics.

    Hummus shooters at South of Beale.  I didn’t see my health guru but I imagine she was wolfing these down like the Nuh-Uh Girl at some point in the evening.
