As I logged into just now to make this post, WordPress informed me that two of the top search terms that lead to my blog are “tube top” and “girls see through shirt dunk tank.” I really need to find a way to monetize that.
After I posted about the March 15 St. Patrick’s parade on Beale Street yesterday, one of my readers messaged me a possible reason why the parade is at 2 PM this year rather than the usual 4 PM. The American Athletic Conference tournament will be at FedExForum this weekend and the championship is at 5 PM. Moving the parade time back will allow people to attend without being late for the game.
Wiseacre Brewery will be at Bardog from 5 to 7 tonight. There will be specials and giveaways. I love how Bardog puts an “M” next to local beers on its draft beer board. That makes it easy for out-of-towners (and residents too) to tell what the Memphis products are.
Speaking of Bardog, I had their deluxe grilled cheese sandwich last night, which comes topped with ham and bacon. At $6.99 it’s a very affordable and very tasty dinner. It comes with Bardog’s award-winning fries or potato salad. First time I’ve had the deluxe grilled cheese in a couple of years, and I had forgotten how good it is.
There’s a Groupon for Kudzu’s going on right now. $8 for $16 worth of food.
Monster Jam comes to the FedExForum this Friday and Saturday. If you’re still trying to figure out what to do on your date for Valentine’s Day, here you go.
From the Flyer news blog: public art could be coming to South Main.
Memphis Tigers forward Dominic Woodson has been suspended indefinitely. Woodson has been warned in the past about the foul language he uses, and when he used that language on the bench where fans could hear it, Coach Pastner sent him to the back early. Woodson won’t be going to the Saturday game at UConn and won’t be brought back until Coach is convinced he has made a permanent change.
If you’ve seen the TV commercials for Shari’s Berries (and how could you miss them, they’re everywhere) but prefer to shop local, Miss Cordelia’s has chocolate-covered strawberries.
That’ll wrap up this Thursday post. I’ll be out after work, probably leading off at the Silly Goose as I usually do on Thursdays.
