There’s a lot going on tomorrow, and I’ll start it off with a highly recommended concert. Muck Sticky performs tomorrow at 7 at the New Daisy. Uber-talented and he just oozes positive energy. How many of us are lucky enough to have a job that can be done in pajama pants?
If you plan on going to see Muck Sticky, why not get to Beale a few hours early? There will be a Corvette show on the street from 8 AM to 4 PM tomorrow.
Lots happening on Mud Island and the Mississippi River tomorrow. One event is the Maria Montessori School Regatta and Duck Race. Kayak and canoe races, 1 and 2 mile courses.

Bass Pro’s Big Cat Quest is tomorrow as well. See who can reel in the biggest catfish on the Mississippi River. $5000 in cash and prizes to be awarded.
Harbor Town Crawfish Festival is tomorrow from 2 to 8 PM.
South of Beale released their new menu yesterday. Visit their website to view it.
Crazy crazy news day and I just don’t have it in me to come up with a clever final paragraph. Quick and nasty Taco Bell lunch, a few more hours at work, then I’ll be out about 5:45.
