I figured out a new way to be a more effective blogger this weekend. Facebook status updates and tweets are two of my major sources of information for this blog – but, when I’m out at the bar checking social media on my phone, I’ll often forget updates I saw. Saturday I came up with a great idea. When I see an update that’s blogworthy, I use my iPhone’s screen capture to snap an image. Then I send the image to Evernote<\/a>. That way, all the info is right there when I’m ready to post, and I don’t have to type even one character to save it.<\/p>\n

One such update came from Automatic Slim’s, who announced that starting today they will have half price appetizers and $5 martinis from 4 PM-7 PM. Great time to come try their apps. They recommended the Tuna Tacos and hand cut potato chips with blue cheese fondue in particular.<\/p>\n

A second food blog has reviewed the burger at Roxie’s Grocery at 520 N. Third. Thomas from Eat Local Memphis reports that the Uptown Burger will Roxie your soxies right off<\/a>. I have got to try this burger soon.<\/p>\n

Karen Waldrup<\/a> and Ashlee K. Thomas<\/a> play the Brass Door tonight at 7 PM. $7 cover at the door.<\/p>\n

I haven’t posted since Saturday, so here’s a quick recap of the second half of my weekend… Saturday night I headed south to The Lofts at South Bluffs for a farewell party for the Mad Hatter, who is leaving us unfortunately. A big opportunity with her company is sending her to the Northeast for a couple of years. After the party we jumped in taxis and hit the Blind Bear. Fun place to be on a Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Sunday I did my usual routine – Majestic Grille at 11 for mimosas, Flying Saucer at 12 for beer. Hung Over Like a Bear brunch at Blind Bear was on the agenda for 3, but I was having such a good time at the Saucer that I decided to stay. Then I got a text to come to Kooky Canuck, that owners Shawn and Lana were there watching the games. So I headed up the street… always a real pleasure to hang out with them. Two 34-ounce beers later and the severe weather was approaching. I hit Bardog for the Dog of the Day, then called it a night. Apologies to the Bear for not making it by for brunch, hopefully will be back next Sunday.<\/p>\n

I did a tweet yesterday – the best Downtown bars to be in during a tornado. My list was Bardog Tavern, Brass Door and Local Gastropub. All three have basements without windows. More importantly, all three have PBR.<\/p>\n

My plan for tonight is again the usual routine: Pint Nite at the Saucer at 6, poker at the Goose at 7:30.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
