At lunch I posted about the Thursday night Main/Peabody Place block party. Now getting more details about specials particular businesses plan on running. The Majestic Grille sent out an email blast, saying they will have fish tacos and sangria on the patio. Fish tacos! 11 years ago I was eating them on the patio at Pacific Beach Bar & Grill… that was the bar where the cast of Real World San Diego got in a fight. Well, it was one of the bars where they got into a fight. Damn Robin from the San Diego cast looked amazing in a tube top.
Sorry to brag, but I’m really proud of my ability to slip a tube top reference into just about any topic in the world.
Down the Main Street Mall a few doors, Bar None will be grilling chicken and steak skewers. There will also be a small bar serving Bar None Punch, made with Malibu Cherry/Cranberry Rum.
Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the beginning of Guess Your Weight Wednesday at Dream Berry Yogurt. Grab your yogurt and your toppings, and then before putting it on the scale, guess its weight (for example, 5.4 oz., or if you’re the Nuh-Uh Girl, 36.9 oz.). If you’re correct within one ounce, you get 50% off.
Our idiotic state legislature and Gov. Haslam have finally done something right! Haslam signed a bill making it legal for liquor stores to hand out samples. Good way to let people try new things and broaden their appreciation for fine liquors! Wonder if CeCe’s on Madison will start handing out samples of Dark Eyes Vodka to the bums.

Melissa Moon from Channel 3 (@melissamoon3) sent out an interesting tweet today: Best Companies for Veterans. The article profiles the 10 companies best known for hiring those with military experience, and this being Flag Day I thought I’d share. The bad news is that none of the companies is in Memphis, but sometimes when opportunity doesn’t find you, you have to go to opportunity.
Plans are still up in the air for tonight… time to shoot out a few texts and figure out where everyone is going. Silly Goose, Ferraro’s and Bardog are the likely candidates.
