If you’re looking for something different to do after work, my recommendation would be the Memphis Made tap takeover this evening at Miss Cordelia’s from 5 to 8. Enjoy Memphis Made Brewing Co. beers as well as pork belly sliders by the chef at Miss Cordelia’s, burritos from the Hot Mess food truck, and gelato from The Creamery.
Haunted Happenings: For one evening only on Friday, October 28 starting at 6 PM, the Woodruff-Fontaine House (680 Adams) will be transformed into a haunted mansion.

Turn-of-the-century Halloween treats will be seved in the carriage house. Costumes are encouraged. $25 adults, including two drink tickets; children 12 and under $10.
Yesterday I reported that the Broadway Bridge over in Little Rock surprised everyone by refusing to fall after an attempt to implode it. It finally fell into the Arkansas River five hours after detonation, at 3 PM.
This is not cool: A mailman was caught pepper-spraying small dogs barking at him behind a gate. The mailbox was on the other side of the gate and the dogs posed no threat to the mailman. What was cool was the dogs’ owner, who did not want the mailman fired or charges pressed. He just wanted the mailman to learn from his mistake and maybe put in some volunteer time at the SPCA, where one of the dogs was rescued.
The John Lennon beer glass for 2016 goes on sale at the Flying Saucer tonight at 7.
Another 2005 tape has come back to haunt the Trumpster. Donald Trump was a guest on the Howard Stern show on April 11 of that year. He bragged to Stern that as owner of the Miss USA pageant, he had the special perk of going into the contestants’ dressing room. He would walk in as the women were getting dressed for the bikini competition, when many of them were naked or topless. They were encouraged, even in their undressed and vulnerable state, to go up and greet the pageant’s owner. A former Miss Arizona confirmed that for once in his life, Trump wasn’t lying; it really happened. “And so I sort of get away with things like that,” Trump told Stern. Sense of entitlement much? Yesterday Trump encouraged his supporters to go vote on November 28 and I encourage them to do so as well.
That’s it for now. Time to get through an afternoon of work then it will be Silly Goose time (unless they run out of PBR, then it won’t).
