EXCELLENT deal on LivingSocial today. $10 for $20 worth of food and drink at Max’s Sports Bar. If you’ve never tried Max’s, now is the time. Sports on 10 TVs, Buzztime trivia and poker, large outdoor deck, friendly regulars. It’s in the Arcade building on G.E. Patterson, next to the Cheesecake Corner. I bet Mikey is mortgaging everything he owns today, to raise funds to purchase as many of these deals as possible.
It’s Wet Your Whistle Wednesday at AutoZone Park tonight. $10 gets you an outfield box ticket to see the Redbirds, a 16 oz. PBR, and a PBR koozie. Game starts at 7:05. Why not wear a red tube top in support of the Redbirds?
From the CA: The French Fort neighborhood (near the Metal Museum) will be a lab in urban design. There will be a workshop for young professionals under 35 Thursday night. Cool deal. For years I’ve thought this neighborhood, just south of Crump, had a lot of potential and would be the next logical extension of Downtown.
From the Huffington Post: A study proved that students with later classes sleep more, but also get drunk more and get lower grades. Really? It was necessary to do a study to prove that? When I was at Rhodes I avoided 8 AM classes like the plague.
Eventful night last night. Met up with Hurricane Zane at the Saucer, then went next door to the Silly Goose for their trivia night. We had entertainment – a guy was passed out on the grass next to the parking garage next to the Goose. While I was on the patio watching his friends trying to get him up, I caught a bum parking cars on the Tri-State Bank lot at Main and Beale. Knowing that this particular bum had been criminally trespassed from the lot, I called the Downtown safety patrol (281-9146). A few minutes later, a police car rolled onto the lot. Busted! If you park on that lot, only give money to someone in an attendant’s uniform or who has an official Premier Parking employment ID.
We merged two teams to become the Deep-Fried Rapscallions, and won the first-place prize of $50. We’re also now among the leaders for the $300 3-month prize that will be awarded at the end of August. After trivia, we walked up the Main Street Mall to Bardog (something interesting happened along the way, but I’m not allowed to blog it). A few more beers at Bardog brought an end to a most enjoyable night.
Plans for tonight: “Buy the Beer, Keep the Glass” night at the Flying Saucer. It’s the Father’s Day glass, featuring “Father of the Year” Charlie Sheen. DUH, WHINING. Glasses go on sale at 7 PM, unless you have an M.O.U. card and can purchase them early. Bardog Tavern posted to Facebook “Be here at 8:30 to get a free Budweiser,” so my nightly Bardog stop will happen around 8. Not playing poker this week, will be upstairs. I LUV me some free beer!
