(Edit: I’ve been told that management at the Saucer has shut the windows and cooled the place down, and has said they’ll keep the place cool when there’s a heat advisory.)
Not much to report for this Monday lunchtime post. I mentioned that Calhoun’s is doing a watch party for the new show “Memphis Beat” Tuesday night. Party starts at 7, show at 9. Since the last post, I’ve learned that this is a South Main Association event, and I’ve also learned the menu for the party. It will be catered by the award-winning Squeal Street BBQ team, and there will be BBQ ribs, pork tenderloin, BBQ pizza, collard greens, and blackeyed peas. A true Southern feast!
Sole Restaurant has announced that they will start doing sushi nights on Wednesdays. With their connections importing seafood, it’s sure to be the freshest sushi in town.
The only other thing I have to add is that ladies attending Pint Nite at the Flying Saucer might want to wear a tube top, and this time it’s not because it’s Tube Top Month. Rather, because it’s freaking HOT in there!!!! People have been complaining about the temperature at the Saucer on Twitter since they opened this morning. Since the heat wave started, it’s been extremely sticky there, even in the indoor room. Not sure if their air can’t keep up, or if they’re just being stingy about turning it on. Does anyone have a cheap thermometer they can bring with them tonight? I’d love to know exactly what the temperature is in there.
Just checked back. Now the regulars have started a #thingscolderthandowntownsaucer hashtag. I love it.
