Started the day at the Majestic Grille for brunch. This legal Tennessee moonshine was sitting on the shelf and I speculated whether it was a call to 1-800-BAD-IDEA. Air Traffic Mike reminded me that, other than a period last year when the Downtown Monkey did karaoke, he had a trademark on that phone number. I decided to leave the moonshine for another day.
Next stop was the Flying Saucer. They had the NFL playoffs on with sound.
Don’t eat the yellow snow. Rogue Yellow Snow IPA. Very hoppy.
Blind Bear opened at 3 for “Hung Over Like a Bear” brunch. This is their sausage and egg burrito.
The Memphis Jazz Orchestra conducts their weekly rehearsal every Sunday night at Alfred’s from 6 to 9. This is probably the best time of the week to be in Alfred’s and is a good way to chill out and slow down as the week ends. Unfortunately chilling out was not in the cards for us…
Professional dancer BBQ Steve shows the Mad Hatter a few new moves.
Why is Joe racking? Because the Mad Hatter beat him at pool.
Photo of me with the Hatter. She had to be taught to position the PBR logo toward the camera. Also, she just (forbidden verb)ed a pickle, where (forbidden verb) is a proper noun which among Downtowners means “to eat off other people’s plates.”
Bums workin’ it on Beale Street
The Hatter at the Absinthe Room
So about 10:30 the idea came up to do a venue change to the Saucer.
“Is the Saucer a dance club?” asked the Mad Hatter.
“Yes,” I replied. Here’s a pic of the Hatter tearing up the dance floor of Club Saucer with Joe. Thanks to Cayla for putting up with us for the last hour of her shift.
