Central BBQ Downtown is having one of its famous cornhole tournaments today. Registration and open play at 5 PM, double elimination tournament at 6. There’s a $5 entry fee which goes to support St. Jude. There will be plenty of $3 beer specials for players.
MemphisWeather.net is looking for a nowcaster/social media intern for the period of April through August, extensible by mutual agreement. This would be fantastic experience for anyone with an interest in meteorology, or anyone looking to get some experience doing social media for a company.
Not a whole lot going on Downtown today, but if you’re into Christian music, there’s the Winter Jam Spectacular at the FedExForum tonight. Otherwise, pull up a stool at the bar of your choice and watch the Grizzlies take on the Orlando Magic in an away game today at 4.
Looks like Saturday morning at Panda’s bar at Bardog is gaining steam. After months of it being just my “DAWG” John D and me, five or six of our group showed up this week, including one person who was still out from Friday night (he took a cab to Bardog from Alex’s). We were discussing the farm & gin show that is Downtown this weekend, and we asked late-night guy if he knew what a gin does. “I guess it separates the cotton from the… non-cotton part.” Well, I suppose we have to accept that as a correct answer.
Two of my friends wanted to go to the Flying Saucer and work on beers for their next plate, and of course I was down with that idea. Unfortunately my friends had a drunk guy hovering behind them saying things of the nature “I don’t know about you, but THE PERSON TO YOUR RIGHT (insert thinly veiled passive-aggressive insult here)…” My friends told him they weren’t interested in hearing about the person to their right (meaning me) and sent him on his way. Good God. I think I’d be willing to pay $1 more per beer if I could enjoy it without having to deal with retards and stupid people. Maybe even $2. Oh well. You can’t fix stupid but you can get it banned from your BBQ team.
Once again, up too late to make my usual 11:00 brunch appointment at the Majestic. I’ll get out about noon and hit the usual Sunday Fun Day stops.
