This morning I discovered a very useful new service: Tweet-a-Beer<\/a>. You sign up through their provider, Chirpify, which connects your Twitter handle to your PayPal account. Once you’ve authorized both accounts, people can tweet $5 (the price of a beer) to your PayPal. Easy way to make someone happy with only a few clicks.<\/p>\n

If anyone wants to tweet me a beer<\/a>, I’m signed up @paulryburn.<\/p>\n

The big thing going on Downtown today is that the Tigers play UCF at 5:30 at the FedExForum. It’s the C-USA semifinals, televised on CBS Sports Network. That’s going to make getting in and out of Downtown at rush hour rather tricky, so allow a little extra time.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for something to do after the game, my recommendation would be to walk over to the Brass Door, on Madison between Second and Third. My friend David “Diamond Dave” Loews is having his birthday party in the Cavern, the pub’s downstairs music venue. Dave has the run of the place and has said to be prepared for “entertainment, music, and hi-jinx Dave style.” Even if you don’t know Dave, come on down! Good reason to check out this great little Irish pub in the Downtown core if you haven’t been there yet.<\/p>\n

The Orpheum has announced that John Mayer has canceled his tour, which included an April 30 stop at the theatre. Ticket refund details here.<\/a> Mayer explains the reason behind the tour cancellation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Single-game tickets to the 2012 Redbirds games will go on sale Monday.<\/p>\n

My plans for after work: The BBQ team has asked me to attend their board of directors meeting. I’m not on the board, but they said they wanted me there to take photos for the website and to offer marketing expertise. I looked over the meeting agenda, which includes “championship pork shoulder sampling.” Ya know, hardly anyone looks forward to a late Friday afternoon meeting, but sometimes you have to take one for the team. I’ll be there.<\/p>\n

Will probably walk up to Dave’s birthday party at some point after the meeting. Of course, the Saucer’s on the way there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
