The Flying Saucer has a receptacle set up to receive donations for the Mid-South Food Bank. Even if you’re not able to make it to the Stumbling Elvis pub crawl, which kicks off there tonight at 7, you can still bring canned goods by. I just got back from Easy Way, where I purchased my donation.
I’ll probably run it down there about 5 and stay for some beers, unless Foursquare or text indicate that I need to be there sooner.
In other news…
The Redbirds are having a Babytime Baby Race at tonight’s game. Three babies will be selected and will go on the field to see who can be first to the finish line. This is a great opportunity for fans in attendance to go to the restroom, get a beer, or catch up with their text messages and social media apps. Fireworks tonight after the game. 6:05 start time.

South of Beale unveils their new Sunday brunch menu tomorrow. View it on their website. Mmmm crawfish benedict.
I won’t make it to brunch at SOB tomorrow though… looks like a group is getting together for Texas de Brazil. Very relieved, because I still have all 12 stamps remaining on my VIP card and time is running out.
Plans for tonight: Not doing the Stumbling Elvis pub crawl but will take some pics at the Saucer. Later I’ll be at Brass Door for a friend’s birthday party.
