Trying something new this afternoon… I’m typing this post from my iPad while sitting at the bar at Bardog drinking a PBR. Since I’m here, I might as well start with news about the Bardog 5K and 4th birthday party, which will happen 8 days from today on Sunday, August 19.
The 5K will happen at 9 AM that morning. Registration and race info can be found here. $30 if you pre-register, $35 day-of.
At 12:30 the party starts. There will be live music by the Bluff City Backsliders and Star & Micey. The dunk tank will be back to raise money for St. Jude, and they will raise even more money by raffling off a sweet Fat Tire bike…
Hey, wait! I’m at Bardog! And the bike is here! And the iPad has a hi-res camera! Let’s give this a try.
I’d take a pic of Panda Manda too but she doesn’t have a tube top on. FAIL
Anyway, lots of other prizes besides the bike will be up for grabs too. The party will be in the alley next to Bardog (Scratchy’s Alley). Kids are welcome in the alley, but they can’t come in the bar because it allows smoking and is therefore 21 and up. There will be plenty of beer and sliders.
In other news, former 90210 star Jennie Garth has been rocking a tube top. Good for her. She recently starred in an Old Navy commercial with Dylan and Brandon.
If you’re a vegetarian, might want to hit the Green Beetle today. They have a black bean and chipotle burger special that sounds really good. Sweet potato fries on the side.
Metta World Peace just tweeted, “I just got my salad tossed with extra jalapeños and raisins.” Whatever floats your boat, Ron.
Lansky at the Peabody was Elvis’ clothier for many years. In honor of Elvis Week, they have decorated the store with vintage Speedway Jackets, Jailhouse Rock Sweaters, and sport coats that were worn by the King himself. They invite the public to come by and see the history and heritage of Lansky at its fullest this week. The clothier is in the Peabody Hotel at Third and Union.
That’s all for now. Hope to see you at the Flying Saucer at 7 for the Stumbling Elvis pub crawl. Don’t forget your cash or canned good donation to the Food Bank!
