You know, this morning I was thinking to myself, “So many different choices down here… why do I spend time in some Downtown bars more than others?” I realized it was a combination of three things. The bar has to be
- close;
- comfortable;
- and the majority of time I go there, I know people who are there.
That’s why I’m really looking forward to the opening of the Blind Bear later this month. I’m pretty sure it is going to have all three of these qualities in spades.
Speaking of spades (and clubs, hearts, and diamonds), I need to issue another correction. A Blind Bear employee hit me up on Twitter and told me that the Tuesday night poker night will actually be run by Jamie, one of the owners who currently bartends at the Silly Goose. He and I have played many Monday nights at the Goose and we’ve knocked each other out of tournaments on a few occasions. I have no doubt he’ll do a fantastic job, and I’m interested to see whether he’ll retain the structure of the Goose’s poker tournaments at the Blind Bear, or do something different.
All righty… looks like I’m going to hit brunch at Bardog in a bit, soon as I get sheets out of the dryer and back on my bed. I still plan to watch Memphis-Louisville at the Saucer at 3.
