My friends with whom I’m going to The Price Is Right Live Saturday have informed me they’re making me a T-shirt to wear. As I understand it, the shirt will say
“Planes, trains, cars, and boats,
Show me that PLINKO though”
Speaking of the Orpheum, there’s an event there tonight. Comedian Druski brings his Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda Tour to town, with an opening set by Navv Greene.

Ready for a preview of Birdie’s, the new virtual golf bar coming to South Main? You can get one this Friday night from 6 to 9 as part of the first South Main Trolley Night of the year.
Unfortunately the weather doesn’t look like it’s going to cooperate for Trolley Night. Afternoon and evening storms are expected tomorrow; some may be severe. In better weather news, Memphis will break out of its recent cold snap today, with clear skies, a high of 72, and a low of 60.
Journey comes to FedExForum Saturday night with special guest Toto.

Last night I got to hang out with the butt sluts at karaoke night at the Blind Bear, although none of us sang. Butt Slut #2 ordered a sandwich with fries. Butt Slut #1 had on a rather low-cut dress. Butt Slut #2 started throwing fries at Butt Slut #1’s cleavage and, after a couple of attempts, successfully lodged a fry between Butt Slut #1’s boobs. For the first time in my life, I was jealous of a French fry.
Think I’ll start my day with breakfast at Bardog when they open at 8. Back tomorrow with more news.
