Just wanted to remind those who knew him that there will be a celebration of life for our dear friend Nate tomorrow (Sunday) at the Blind Bear 3-7 PM. There will be 120 mini corn dogs (Nate loved mustard) and I think some other finger foods. Those who wish to get on the mic and say a tribute to our nappin-ass brother will have the opportunity.
Nate’s ashes will sit on the beam above the bar next to co-founder Rick’s.
Congratulations to Holly from the I Love Memphis Blog on her new role at the DM. Holly will lead the online pub’s digital team. Also congrats to the DM on a badass hire.
Here are the results from WWE Smackdown in Memphis last night. Sami Zayn, man. I wonder if he’s gonna end up in the echelon of Rock, Flair, Austin, and Dusty by the time he retires. He’s certainly been on that velocity the past 6 months.
Today is National Pass Gas Day.
Good chance of rain and above normal temps (shorts weather) in the forecast today.
The Tigers play East Carolina at 1 today at home. TV is ESPN+.
Utah at the Grizzlies 5 PM tomorrow. TV: Bally Sports Southeast. It’ll be Girl Scout Night.
Predictions for Bardog’s brunch specials today:
- Blackened salmon
- Chicken-N-Waffles
- Grilled pork chop
- Strawberry or blueberry pancakes
All right. That’s it. Tomorrow is going to be a tough day so I’ll be back Monday.
