There’s a Tigers game at the FedExForum at 12 Saturday. For Tiger fans who want to eat before they go to the game, the Majestic Grille is opening at 10:30 that morning for Saturday brunch. I’ve said for years that the Majestic is the best brunch Downtown. Call 522-8555 to get reservations.

The Daily News reports that Bluff City Coffee has leased a 3000 square foot kitchen in the Pembroke building. They plan to use the space to expand their food offerings, with an upgraded lunch menu, more pastries, breads, donuts and soups, and other improvements. It’s part of an aggressive expansion that they hope will eventually include a retail spot in Midtown.
I read an interesting Lifehacker article and figured it was worth sharing: Save big money on your next vacation by volunteering. The article explains how to donate a little of your time to see some exotic locations cheaply. Examples include working on hiking trails in Hawaii, taking care of animals in Ecuador, and cataloging pink dolphins on the Amazon. There are a number of sites linked in the article to help you find your dream volunteer opportunity. The article also notes that these types of vacations are great for practicing and developing new skills, and you can write off the money that you do spend.
Miss Cordelia’s posted that they are doing a double sampling tonight. They have Sassy Lady Sausage at the front door, and a dried fruit and nut couscous (with recipe) at the deli. Free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.
Programming note: I’m attending a social media marketing training out east tomorrow. I’m not sure if I will be near a computer with access to the Internet, so there may not be a lunchtime post.
All right, after-work post is done, time to go out. I’ll try to hit the Silly Goose’s party tonight at 9. Daniel posted that there will be giveaways including T-shirts, Crown Royal headphones, tattoos, shot glasses, flash light key chains, beer openers, beads, hats, koozies, and headbands. I’ll pre-game at Saucer or Blind Bear or possibly both.
