IMPORTANT PBR UPDATE:<\/b> My source who told me about the PBR at Gus’s went back yesterday and sent me a correction. The 16-ounce PBRs there are $2.00 + tax, not $2.75 as I previously reported. That’s such a good deal that it’s worth going there even if you don’t eat chicken.<\/p>\n

Home from work early today. They let us leave after a company picnic at noon. We had two seating options: outside (95F, bugs) or inside (72F, no bugs). In retrospect I’m pretty comfortable with my choice of “inside.”<\/p>\n

I have someone looking to rent a condo Downtown, at least 1500 SF and 2BR\/2BA, that allows two old small dogs. They’ve been searching but the dogs have been the sticking point. Can anyone help?<\/p>\n

Shelton Clothiers is going out of business. They will be closed for Labor Day weekend and then will have a liquidation sale Wednesday-Saturday of next week.

Dishcrawl has announced its next event, and this sounds like a really good one. It will be a soul food crawl, on which participants will board a motor coach and visit some of the best soul food spots in Memphis. The event will be hosted by Ms. Tonya Dyson and will include a performance by her. Sign up for the soul food crawl here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Cochon Heritage BBQ event kicks off tonight at Beale Street Landing, 5:55 PM. Five chefs compete, each utilizing one whole heritage-bred pig to create four entrees and two sides. That means there will be 30 dishes to sample. Tickets are $125 general admission, $200 VIP. Ticket information here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SOCIAL MEDIA ALERT: Look for “Does anyone have a Cochon BBQ ticket they’re not going to use? $\":)\"$ ” posts from the Nuh-Uh Girl on Facebook and Twitter today.<\/p>\n

That’ll do it for now. I have a lot to get done on my afternoon off. Most of what I have to get done involves drinking beer at the Flying Saucer. No better time to start than the present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
