If you’re looking for something fun to do with your kids tomorrow, bring them to AutoZone Park for a special Nickelodeon Day with the Redbirds. Game time has been moved to 1:35 PM. Contestants will be slimed, pied and watered during half-inning breaks,\u00a0reminiscent\u00a0of shows You Can’t Do That on Television<\/em> and Figure It Out<\/em>. \u00a0Jeff Sutphen of Figure It Out<\/em> will host the day’s events. Kids, if you’ve always wanted to be covered in green slime, this is your chance. The ‘birds will play the Albuquerque Isotopes.<\/p>\n

Fun fact: The Isotopes derived their name from an episode<\/a> of The Simpsons<\/em>.<\/p>\n

If you plan on cooking out for the 4th, Double J can help. They have full slabs of ribs (no sides) for $22.50, and whole butts $4.50 a pound (approximately $35-40 each). They have other items too, so swing by and talk to them if you want some good BBQ to celebrate our independence.<\/p>\n

From USA Today: Memphis pulled pork: America’s best regional food?<\/a><\/p>\n

The Silly Goose finally got its new patio furniture in. I didn’t get by there yesterday to take a pic, but the furniture is very lounge-y, much like what’s on the patio at Bluefin. The ladies will look good lounging on the patio in tube tops.<\/p>\n

A group has promised to donate $100,000 to MIFA as soon as the organization raises $200,000. Can you help? More info here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tennessee’s new beer tax laws go into effect Monday.<\/a> Good news for those who brew beer and those who drink it in the state.<\/p>\n

Check out this week’s New Yorker<\/em> cover<\/a> where Bert and Ernie celebrate the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage. Very cool.<\/p>\n

My BBQ team captain, who is an attorney, sent me this job posting. It’s long so I’m just going to copy and paste.<\/p>\n

Plans for today: It’s my work’s annual company picnic at the zoo, an opportunity to meet everyone’s kids. It’s possible I may make a wrong turn and end up at Bardog rather than the zoo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
