I happened upon a very good site this morning… Schedule Memphis, a new community calendar which will list all the best events, conferences, meetings, and workshops in town. It’s just getting started, but hopefully Memphis organizations will get on board this week and make this calendar a valuable community resource.
Good lunch with friends yesterday at Texas de Brazil. My friend Lee is a member of their VIP club and purchased a half-off discount card… for about the price of one dinner, he purchased a card good for 10 half-price dinners. We went for brunch yesterday, so we got the usual meats, the salad bar, bacon, sausage, and other breakfast items. We also had the option of adding an “unlimited mimosa” for a few dollars more, and let me tell you, the server was not shy about refilling those things. With the half-price deal, my tab for all that food was only $30.89. Not bad at all.
I’ve come up with a new idea… there are a lot of Eastern Europeans who work at TdB. Don’t they make like 70 grand a year there? I need to marry one of them, and then I can quit my job and sit on my ass all day while she supports me. She has to be hot and look good in a tube top. If any TdB employees are interested in taking me up on this, let me know at paul@paulryburn.com. (Send photos)
After stops at the Saucer and Kooky Canuck, I ended up at Bardog Tavern yesterday, where I spent hours sitting at the bar talking. Very comfortable. I think I’m going to start paying more attention to Bardog. I met the creator of their Salty Dog Monday night (7 PM) and Wednesday morning runs (7 AM). People go on a run, at their own pace, then return to Bardog for beer, drinks and specials.
Of course, other Monday events include trivia at Local with Will (8 PM), poker at the Silly Goose (7:30 PM and 11:30 PM), and Pint Nite at the Saucer (all day).
Thinking about buying an extended battery for my iPhone… between Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, my Heads-up Hold’em app, and Words with Friends (to which I recently returned after a 6-month hiatus), I ran the iPhone all the way down yesterday.
Lunch time. I’ll be at Pint Nite after work.
