I had no idea this existed until yesterday. HTH did a crawfish festival fly under my radar?<\/p>\n
Next Saturday in Court Square, there’s going to be a crawfish festival called Mudbugs in March<\/a>. It’s put on by BCB Entertainment, Hard Rock Cafe, and Q107.5. The website says it’s “A True, Louisiana-style crawfish boil complete with corn, potatoes, sausage, mushrooms and plenty of spice.” There will be live music by The Patrick Dodd Trio and George McConnell and the Nonchalants. Tickets are $5 general admission (which gets you in the park, crawfish purchase extra) and VIP wristbands are $35. The site says “VIP access includes entrance into Court Square Park and all-you-can eat crawfish and separate beer-tenders for the VIP section. The VIP section will be closer to the band and will have additional entertainment located in the section to play during band breaks.”<\/p>\n Sounds like fun. I had no idea this was going on until someone told me they had wristbands they couldn’t use and asked if I wanted them. So now I have a beer festival (River City, in Handy Park) and a crawfish festival to attend next Saturday. There are worse problems to have, I suppose. Since I had a couple of extra wristbands I stopped the elevator a couple of floors early and slipped wristbands under my neighbor the Nuh-Uh Girl’s door. I may pick on her about the free food thing but occasionally I support it as well.<\/p>\n Last night I made it until closing time at the Saucer, then stopped by the Bear for a PBR. Since I’m posting this at 11:25 AM, obviously I didn’t make it to brunch at the Majestic. I’ll be out about noon. I may try to make it to the Grizzlies-Lakers party at Max’s Sports Bar at 8 tonight.<\/p>\n Thanks for your feedback for the name for the poker table. Most of you who responded had thoughts exactly in line with my own. I think I’ve come up with a name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I had no idea this existed until yesterday.
