I’ve got someone who has contacted me with an apartment to rent in South Main. 1BR/1BA, 1000 square feet at 481 S. Main, $800/mo utilities included, all appliances, w/d, hardwood floors, oak cabinets. This is not a bad price for a Downtown apartment. Would be perfect for someone attending the College of Art next door. Would also be perfect for someone who wants to get in on the South Main scene… you could just walk out your door on Trolley Night and there you are. If anyone is interested shoot me an e-mail at paul@paulryburn.com and I’ll tell you how to get in touch with the person renting it.
I walked to the Saucer last night to watch football, and realized I’d totally forgotten about the triple plate party going on… congrats to Bill and Bicycle Bobby on their 7th plates, and to Joe on his 1st. They have a new rule that Fire Sale beers can’t be put on plate party tabs anymore, which is total B.S. This is going to cause problems with my trivia team combining winnings (which as far as I know don’t have the Fire Sale restriction) with team members’ plate parties.
Attn Tennessee Vols: Football games are SIXTY minutes long. Not thirty. It was pretty clear that by about halfway through the third quarter, Tennessee had just given up any hope. Look on the bright side, Vols: At least your current football coach isn’t in big trouble for lying to the NCAA. Like, you know, that other guy. Have fun next week against Florida.
Meanwhile, the Razorbacks looked strong in their win, although they needed an entire half to pull it together. Next week will be an interesting test against #22 Georgia.
Congrats to Bama on a fine win versus Penn State. I noticed how respectful the Bama players and fans were of Coach Paterno. You know, Alabama is a classy program that I really have no problem rooting for, as long as they’re not playing the Hogs.
I’m trying to give Larry Porter a chance, but if he starts Cannon Smith at QB again next week after the respective performances of Smith and Ryan Williams, I’m done with Coach Porter.
It’s 10:16 AM and I’m showered and wide awake. I’m hungry for Bardog Tavern’s lobster sandwich, but they don’t open until noon. Hmmm… what to do until then… there aren’t any tournaments on PokerStars I’m interested in right now… maybe I’ll hang on until 11 then go have a wake-up beer at Magan’s bar at Kooky Canuck, which will be my second appearance there in 12 hours.
