The most that has ever been raised in previous years for a head shaving at Bardog’s alley party has been $4500. When I left Bardog last night about 11, $5468 had been raised to have Amanda “Panda” Parks get her head shaved at 3 this afternoon. The goal is $10,000, so there’s still plenty left to be contributed. Come on out to the alley party, in Scratchy’s Alley adjacent to Bardog, and give. There will be food, beer, a raffle with awesome prizes, a dunk tank, motorized cooler races, a beer garden, a meatball eating contest, and more.
Before I get started on today’s post, let me share a pic from last night of my favorite librarian glasses.
I haven’t ordinarily been a TV person the past few years but I have a new addiction: Bar Rescue on Spike TV. Damn there are some f’d up bars out there. Makes me appreciate how smoothly things run at the places I go.
Emerge Memphis is bringing back South Main Food Truck Friday for another week. This week Fresh Gulf Shrimp will be parked on Tennessee Street near G.E. Patterson Friday from 11 AM to 1:30 PM.
Thanks to my strategic shit-talking, Squeal Street members made a $500 donation to the #shavethepanda fund yesterday. Congratulations guys, you get to keep the trophy for another year. And by “trophy” I mean “food blogger with anger management issues.”
Last year I did a piss-poor job taking photos of the Bardog alley party. That will not be the case this year. I will be out with the Tube Top Cam at noon, and plan to run through at least two camera batteries. Come join and bring money to #shavethepanda.
