Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats are coming to the New Daisy Theatre Saturday, December 3. Tickets are $25-28. Doors at 7, show at 8. I have to admit I had no idea who these people were, but several of my friends acted like this was a big deal, so I figured I’d mention it. According to Wikipedia Rateliff is known for folk-based, pensive songwriting, and the Night Sweats are a soulful R&B combo.
This is a really, really cool story involving anaplastology and two of my friends. Bardog Tavern chef John Haley recently received a new nose, crafted by anaplastologist Maddie Singer at the UT Health Science Center College of Dentistry. The silicone nose will be held in place by magnets. I’ve known John since his days managing the Saucer 13 or so years ago. Maddie is one of my bar buddies at Blind Bear. She is a keen observer of people and it is always interesting to hear her insights.
Catherine & Mary’s, the new restaurant by famed local chefs Hudman and Ticer, is set to open in the Chisca on Monday. The restaurant is named for the chefs’ grandmothers.

MemFix happens at Film Row on South Second this Saturday, September 24. It’s a chance to re-imagine the neighborhood and think about what it could become.
I finally got Burger Fest photos posted. The death of Picasa left me in a predicament and I had to figure out whether Google Photos is an acceptable substitute (it is, but I liked Picasa better). Over 100 photos of the Moody Ques, our neighbors Weekend at Porky’s, and a photo of a sushi roll I had from Sushi Jimmi.
Off to work. 4-day week so this is my effective Thursday. Possibly another post later today.
