There’s an ice cream festival at AutoZone park tomorrow, Saturday, September 24. It benefits the Ronald McDonald House. For $10 you get ice cream, frozen treats and drinks. There will also be a silent auction, live entertainment, and contests. All you can eat ice cream? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.<\/p>\n

The Memphis Flyer is introducing a new beer blog called Memphis Beer Beat. An introduction to the new blog can be found in this Hungry Memphis post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the news: Kudzu’s has new owners.<\/a> They plan to improve the bar but not change its feel.<\/p>\n

I came in 5th at poker at Max’s Sports Bar last night. Not disappointed at all, just got unlucky, twice shoving all-in with big pocket pairs, only to run into bigger pairs. Afterward I went to the Brass Door. “We saved the last PBR for you,” they said. “We had a feeling you’d be coming.” Now, is that a bar that takes care of its regulars, or what? Afterward, I got Foursquare bonus points for checking in at the Saucer 55 days in a row.<\/p>\n

After work I’ll grab a couple happy hour pints at the Saucer, then head south to meet Windell the Miller High Life guy at Max’s Sports Bar at 8:30. Plans TBD after that. One more post to come this lunchtime hour, so if you don’t see it check back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
