Here’s a Memphis Flyer article on new Downtown restaurant Cockadoos. They’re Project Green Fork certified, and you can place an order via Facebook or Twitter! How cool is that? When I was in there last week, I saw a computer monitor displaying Facebook and Twitter, but I didn’t realize they were using it for ordering.
The Venus Mission will perform this Thursday at the Peabody’s rooftop party. Theme this week is “A Taste of Asia,” with teriyaki chicken kabobs, egg rolls, and pork fried rice on the food buffet. In VIP there will be fried dumplings with soy sauce, fried wontons, Thai chicken, and cashew spring rolls. Asahi and Sapporo will be the featured beers. Also… this isn’t part of the official Peabody program, but… you’ve heard of cooking demonstrations? I’ve heard the Nuh-Uh Girl will give an eating demonstration at approximately 7:30. If you miss it, there will be additional demonstrations at 7:37, 7:46, 7:59 and 8:14.
There will also be a Third Thursday party that night, as the businesses on Main between Gayoso and Peabody Place throw their monthly block party. Entertainment by Bluff City Backsliders, Star & Micey, and the Daddy Mack Blues Band. Food and drink specials, retail discounts. Good stop for pre-rooftop warmup.
The second round of Corporate Karaoke happens tomorrow in Court Square at 11:45. Click this link to register and get a crack at $200.
Friday is Bike to Work Day. More info here.
Wow Facebook is screwing up more every day. Privacy invasions, inability to keep data secure, suspending accounts seemingly on a whim, etc. They’re the 800-pound gorilla right now but I really wonder if they still will be in a year’s time. Sounds like their management doesn’t have a clue.
All right, gonna grab a bite to eat then back to work. Damn these “daily update” posts seem so sanitized compared to the fun posts I did last week. I kinda don’t like it. Possibly another post after work, we’ll see. Trivia tonight at the Saucer at 7. May do Super Tuesday at Kooky Canuck ($5 34 oz. signature mixed drinks) afterward.
