You wake up at 1:50 and…

This morning I woke up at 1:50. Well, really 1:35 because I set my alarm clock 15 minutes fast because I hate morning. But, anyway. I woke up at effective 1:50. You know what people in Germantown do when they wake up at 1:50? Roll over and go back to sleep. You know what people in Olive Branch do when they wake up at 1:50? Roll over and go back to sleep. You know what people in Cordova do when they wake up at 1:50? Roll over and go back to sleep.

You know what Downtowners do when they wake up at 1:50?

Get dressed and go to a bar.

Yep, I managed to hit D-RANKS with J-NETTE at the Blind Bear and fit 3 PBRs and 2 Fireballs in before closing time. I love BBQ Fest vacation. And I deserved those drinks and shots after all the hard work I did at Tom Lee Park yesterday.

The booth is coming along very nicely for BBQ Fest. I would say we are a little bit ahead of schedule on construction, not a bad place to be.

Taking credit for the work of others… I would make a great middle management type in corporate America…

Thanks to the awesomeness of my friends on Facebook, I have learned of two new festivals, and I want to share the details. The Memphis International Rockabilly Festival happens August 15-16. I am in the process of gathering more information about this festival, but save the date.

On June 27, there will be a Tamale Fest in Binghampton, at 2509 Harvard. Yummmmm!!! I love tamales. That’s the same date as the Memphis Flyer’s margarita festival and the two are not far from each other.

From the MBJ: Drinks fit for a King at the Arcade. I’m sure research for this article must have been really rough.

I remember sitting at Bardog one day making a list of when it’s acceptable to drink before 11 AM: Spring break, when you’re at a casino, BBQ Fest.

HEY IT’S BBQ FEST!!!!!

Bloom has been pouring ice cold PBR around the corner for 81 minutes now. I see no reason to wait. Lunch at Rizzo’s then down to the park for an intense day of back-breaking work. It’s all worth it for the BBQ team though.
