A couple of random things I learned this weekend:
1) There are people who get paid to travel the country and have medical students give them prostate exams. That has got to be the worst job ever. I think I would sleep under the I-40 bridge and push a shopping cart full of aluminum cans around before I would do that.
2) There is a Christian rock remake of “Baby Got Back” called “Baby Got Book” (meaning, the Bible). That would probably convert some people, for sure… but to atheism.
That’s the great thing about being Downtown, that I have a large group of friends that I can get together with and discuss ideas. Of course, they’re mostly really stupid ideas, but still, ideas.
A second Aldo’s Pizza Pies will open soon in Midtown. The new restaurant will be at 752 S. Cooper in the former Two Way Inn building. According to the MBJ, the restaurant will have only six beers on tap, as opposed to the 30 at the Downtown location, and will probably serve personal pizzas rather than the Downtown pizza-by-the-slice option. Midtowners, get ready… GOOD pizza is coming your way!
The weekly trivia night at Tamp and Tap will have a special theme this week: The TV show Friends. Trivia is hosted by Kevin Cerrito at 7 on Wednesdays.
The Flying Saucer kicks off a five-week campaign to raise funds for Pints for Prostates this Wednesday. For the next five Wednesdays, the Saucer will tap a special German brew with a special glass. Those who purchase the glass will be entered into a drawing to win the trip of a lifetime to Bavaria and Franconia in Germany to tour breweries and other sights. This fundraiser happens at both the Memphis and Cordova Saucers, as well as the 14 other locations. Last year the Saucer raised $32,000 for Pints for Prostates.
Thanks to everyone who helped make Brewery Untapped happen. It was awesome. I hope yesterday was not my last time in the brewery.
Thanks to everyone who posted and shared this morning’s post about Trucker. He has possibly been sighted a couple of times in the Perkins area.
I’ll be out at Bardog for Monday with Melissa after work today. It’s possible we may have a special guest…
