Deering and Down’s new music video will premiere this Friday night at the Warehouse (36 E. G.E. Patterson). Doors open at 7, the video will be screened at 8, and at 8:30 Deering and Down will take the stage live. $5 cover, to help pay for the costs of making the video.
The January South Main Association meeting will be tomorrow night, Tuesday, January 10. On the agenda is the 2012 Board of Officers Election and…
Wait, wasn’t the election part of the December agenda?

WTH is going on with the SMA? Who knows. Anyway, this will be a good meeting, because Downtown Memphis Commission president Paul Morris will give the annual “State of Downtown” speech. Social at 6:00, election at 6:30 (and probably 6:30 again next month, the way things are going), Paul Morris at 6:45. Complimentary hors d’oeuvres and beverages provided by the SMA. Only members in good standing can vote, so bring money to get your dues current. Free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.
Tonight is the BCS title game. #1 vs. #2… LSU/Alabama, the rematch. Where to watch Downtown? My top recommendation would be Max’s Sports Bar, with 10 TVs. Get there about an hour early if you want a seat. If you want to go somewhere that is smoke-free, the Saucer will show the game on both big screens and their 5 other TVs (I’m assuming they will turn on the sound). Kooky Canuck is having specials for the game: $3 34 oz. Bud Light, $11.99 for 24 wings.
My plans for tonight: Pint Nite at the Saucer, although I don’t know how long I’ll stay. Saucer usually gets busy on the night of the BCS title game, and the guy/girl ratio tends to be even worse than normal. Maybe I’ll watch the game at the Blind Bear or Bardog. Or maybe I’ll just ignore the game (already knowing an SEC team is going to win) and play poker at the 7:30 game at the Silly Goose (second game at 10).
