Saturday news from your Moody Ques workhorse

The annual Phoenix Club Mardi Gras party is tonight at Central Station. (Guys. You need to click on that link. Just trust me. Boobs.) The Phoenix Club is an awesome group that raises money for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis, and this is one of their biggest fundraisers. Project Pat will perform, and your $45 admission gets you beer and speciality drinks, or you can go VIP for $75 and get food and top shelf liquor. If you’re in the mood to gamble, there will be a charity casino with great prizes.

Ledisi: The Intimate Truth Tour with special guests Raheem DeVaughn and Leela James comes to the Orpheum tonight at 8.

Looking ahead on the Orpheum’s schedule, I see that there’s a Beatles tribute coming next month. That could be fun.

“An Evening with Almost Elton John” happens tomorrow at the Hard Rock at 9 PM.

Mark Cuban thinks we’re in a worse tech bubble than the dotcom days. I have to admit I’m a bit worried about this too. I need to consult with my BBQ teammate who works the financial markets and who is a huge proponent of the Value Drinking Index to get his opinion.

I always meet the most fabulous people at Bardog when I have snow days off work. Thursday I got to talk to Megabus drivers who got caught in town due to the snow. Friday I had a group of 7 lesbians to my left and a guy shopping online for guns to my right. Heading back up there at 11 today for some Panda time, then over to the Blind Bear at 1. Later in the day I have a BBQ team meeting. Time to live up to my reputation as the workhorse of the Moody Ques team.
