Congratulations to former Memphis Grizzly Pau Gasol, who has been nominated for the pro basketball Hall of Fame.
Long-time readers of this blog will remember me writing about Sunday brunch bartender B-RAD. I first met him at Blind Bear almost 10 years ago, and he’s also worked at Pontotoc Lounge, Silly Goose, and most recently Atomic Rose. He’s one of the best bartenders in the city. And he’s about to have a new Sunday home. B-RAD is excited about what the Thacker-Rhodeses are doing at Ibis (314 S. Main, in the former Pontotoc Lounge space) and wants to be a part of it. His first Sunday is January 1.
I’ll come see you sometime B-RAD. Maybe after football season so I don’t have to look at Rahul in his stupid Chiefs beanie. Just don’t introduce me to any psychos.
Details have been announced for Blind Bear’s 11th birthday party this Friday. DJ Tree at 9, DC the Snapper taking pics 9-11.
It’s National Regifting Day.

OFFICE MANAGERS: Let your staff go at 2 PM today. Don’t put them through the stress of driving through this shit in rush hour.
The Tigers improved to 10-3 with a win over Alabama State last night. Now it’s time for conference play. Next up is USF a week from today.
Excited about Christmas! Once again I am going to my friends Randy and Theresa’s house out in Eads. I’m staying overnight, then Allison and Dani (the butt sluts) are coming over for Christmas dinner. “Beef tenderloin OK?” Randy asked, which is like asking a monkey if bananas are an acceptable dinner option.
Wait, did I just compare myself to a monkey?
It’s too bad the girls’ schedules don’t allow them to stay overnight. R and T’s upstairs bar is a fabulous late-night hangout. And I was prepared to make an offer.
“Let’s flip a coin,” I would have told Dani. “Winner gets a spare bedroom all to themselves. And the loser gets stuck with Allison as a roommate.”
Got to wrap this one up. Randy is making a rare weekday appearance Downtown for Bardog breakfast. Going to introduce him to drunk Price Is Right. Back tomorrow.
