Thursday recap

Last night  I started the evening by heading south to Max’s Sports Bar for poker. I didn’t have time to stop in Double J across the street, but I saw their new sign for the first time.

Then I got to Max’s and saw their new liquor bar for the first time. Michele asked if I wanted a mixed drink, but the only thing that matters to me there is the PBR tap.

Before poker, a payoff of a bet was planned. One of the regulars at Max’s had said earlier in the season, “If Kentucky wins the national championship, I’ll run down Main Street wearing a tiger head and sipping thousand island dressing out of a straw while wearing a Speedo.” It looks like Sunday, April 22 will be the day for the bet’s payoff. More details to come.

I came in third in poker. Here’s a pic of the winner, Mikey, taking a photo of “WINNER: MIKEY” on the monitor.

After that I caught a trolley north. After a quick checkin at the home base (Saucer), I went over to the Blind Bear, where modern speakeasy band Tumbledown House was performing.

Perfect fit for the venue. It’s too bad the Bear can’t hire Tumbledown House as their house band, but they’re a traveling act.

Here’s a pic of Uncle Ray at the Bear.

After that I went over to the Brass Door, where Diamond Dave was having his “Love Train” 70s extravaganza in the Cavern.

I ended the evening at Bardog with a couple of PBRs. I was going to get those bacon wrapped shrimp again but they sold out. Here’s a pic of Uncle Ray at Bardog.

A fun filled Thursday night. Probably back at lunchtime with a news post.
