(Edit: Star & Micey start time changed to 7:00 tonight. Previously, start time was listed as 9:30)
I had another good experience at Blue Fin’s sushi happy hour last night. Having gone in the Saucer and not seen anyone I knew, I decided to have dinner at Blue Fin and enjoyed a Redbirds roll and spicy tuna roll. If you plan on going to the happy hour, you might want to check out this cartoon on sushi etiquette. Wow, I didn’t even realize how many things I was doing wrong.

Couple of quick music-related news items: First of all, Star & Micey will play the Silly Goose tonight from 7 to 10 PM. I have to say, I really enjoy the Goose on its less-busy nights (Sunday-Wednesday). It feels like I’m hanging out in a really nice living room. I went there to watch the NCAA finals after the Saucer got too crowded for my taste, and it was so comfortable and laid-back.
A big show has been announced for the New Daisy: Ted Nugent will play there July 17. The date will be part of his “I Still Believe” tour.
Very tired today. Poker at the Goose last night lasted until 1:30 AM. Really, we were all lucky it ended that early – with Brick saying, “Hold on, I need time to think,” we’re lucky the game didn’t last until Wednesday afternoon. Tonight I’m getting a much-needed haircut after work – last one was the first week of December. Then I’ll head to the Saucer for trivia. Other stuff going on: Live music at Bar None, Grizzlies host the Clippers at FedExForum at 7, pint night at Bardog from 7 to 3.
