Just received this pic from one of my fellow Winter Warmer attendees, and I promised I’d post it, although having seen it I’d rather not:
Jeez… I mean, she looks great, but I look like I’ve had about 90 beers. Which, at the point this photo was taken, was probably not too much of an exaggeration. Feel free to pull this pic into your favorite photo editor and crop out the leftmost two-thirds, to make it look much better. That’s Emily on the right, by the way. Fellow Rhodesian.
By the way, I heard from the organizer of the event. He realizes it turned out a bit cramped, and I think it was an honest mistake that will be corrected at future beer fests. Everyone join them for Memphis Brewfest on April 16. Ooooh, is that the same day as Hot Wing Fest? That’s going to be a tough call. The third weekend of April is unusually loaded this year due to Easter being the fourth weekend. Attn Jesus: If you come back, this time please try to die in a month when not much is going on. February would be good. Or July, but not around the Fourth. kthanksdrivethru.
Possible snow day on Thursday/Friday? This MemphisWeather.net blog post says it’s a possibility. I’m hearing that the high on Friday may not even make it to freezing, and some snow on the ground would be much appreciated to make it a 3-day weekend for many of the citizens of Memphis.
Interesting night at the Saucer for Pint Nite. Pete the Trivia Guy made a rare Monday appearance, as he was showing around an out-of-town guest. Bartender Kelly tried to fix Pete up with her mom, commenting, “I need a stepdaddy.” Hmmmm OK then.
Twitterers I follow who are on a roll tonight: @the_ironsheik and @DocHancock
Just ate wings from Huey’s. Guess I’ll go to bed now.
