I see I made the Memphis Flyer’s “Who’s Who on Memphis Twitter” list in this week’s cover story. I’m honored to be included and am glad people think I “keep it real” on that social medium. However, I agree that the list is quite subjective, and that there are Memphians who use Twitter far more effectively than I do who deserve to be included. At any rate, welcome to whatever new Twitter followers I pick up from the article. And I still believe there should be a PBR Hall of Fame and I should be in it.<\/p>\n

Hilbilly Casino headlines the Peabody rooftop party tonight. “French stuff I can’t pronounce” is the buffet theme this week. Your $10 admission includes a drink ticket and a buffet of Croque Monssieur sandwiches and Pommes Frites. According to Wikipedia a Croque Monssieur sandwich is a grilled ham and cheese sandwich<\/a> with a fancy name. If you’re in VIP you’ll have a second buffet of Tartines, Coquilles St. Jacques En Croute, Country Pate – Rosemary, and Boursin-Breaded Artichoke. Okay, I think I understand the others but I have no idea WTF Coquilles St. Jacques En Croute is. Help, Wikipedia? Okay, the name redirects to the page for scallop<\/a>. Oooo la la! Drink specials are Svedka cherry vodka for $4 and Red Bull + vodka for $8. Since when is an $8 Red Bull vodka a SPECIAL???<\/p>\n

Mean Girls<\/a> plays the Orpheum tonight at 7. The 2004 movie is one of the chick-flick classics the theater is showing as part of its summer movie series.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for something to do after either of the events above, John Paul Keith will play another rare solo show at the Blind Bear at 10 PM.<\/p>\n

Chef Jason Doty of Bluff City Bakery Instagrammed a pic of his most recent creation: Caramel cake<\/a>. He described it as his take on a classic, rich butter cake, drenched in caramel sauce, topped with caramel cream cheese butter cream and more caramel. Looks delicious.<\/p>\n

Last night I started the evening at the Silly Goose. While there I drank 4 beers and all of them were PBR. I did not consume any other beers there. For those of you who prefer your information in a graphical format, here’s a pie chart.<\/p>\n

\"piechart\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ll hit the Goose again after work tonight, with other bars to follow. Maybe tomorrow I’ll do a bar graph of my PBR consumption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
