Walking down the Main Street Mall yesterday after work, I noticed that Dejavu’s sign is up for the new Main Street location. Here’s a pic:<\/p>\n

The Creole restaurant appears very close to opening. If you’ve been to the restaurant’s Florida location and had its food, you know this is a very very good thing for the Downtown core.<\/p>\n

(By the way: What is the official spelling? Dejavu? DejaVu? DeJaVu? I’ve seen all three.)<\/p>\n

The Eric Hughes Band will have a CD release party<\/a> Saturday, September 28 at 8 PM at The Warehouse. After the band’s set there will be a Memphis Bluesplayers jam.<\/p>\n

MGMT, featuring Memphis’ own Andrew VanWyngarden, has announced a November 23 show at the Orpheum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Double J announced yesterday that it is now carrying homemade desserts from The Cake Madam<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Voting to name the new patio at Felicia Suzanne’s is now happening on the restaurant’s Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’ve learned of another Downtown location that has NFL Sunday Ticket: Local Gastropub. They also just installed two 50″ TVs on the patio. The Overton Square location has the game package as well with two 55″ patio TVs.<\/p>\n

So here’s the complete list of bars Downtown that have Sunday Ticket, as far as I know:<\/p>\n

Pinch<\/span>
\nTJ Mulligan’s<\/p>\n

Core<\/span>
\nMad Earl
\nLocal
\nGeorge Paul’s Last Call<\/p>\n

South Main<\/span>
\nGreen Beetle
\nMax’s Sports Bar
\nDouble J<\/p>\n

Here’s a pic of the very first recorded computer bug<\/a> from September 9, 1945. If you’ve wondered where the term “bug” came from, now you know.<\/p>\n

The Flyer’s Hungry Memphis blog has a good post on Eggcellence<\/a>, a company selling “deviled eggs with flair” whose products are carried by Miss Cordelia’s in Harbor Town. The photo shows company owner Sascha Parker at a sampling in Miss Cordelia’s. Free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl showed up.<\/p>\n

Fun night at Blind Bear poker last night. I met Matt who does the River Rat Rounders games around town. I am going to try and make his 8:30 game Monday at the Mad Earl. I told him, don’t expect me to be a regular at that game, because I have a long-standing Monday engagement (Pint Nite at the Saucer). I’m certainly willing to give it a try and blog about it though. Anyway, odd night at the Bear. I got the best starting hand in Hold’em twice (A-A) and the worst three times (7-2). I wasn’t able to cash in on Jamie’s infamous Seven-Deuce prop bet though. I wanted to win and pick up a $50 gift card to spend on food when Chef David Scott Walker starts next week. Unfortunately I came in fifth, but I have three gift cards from previous wins, so I think I’ll be okay.<\/p>\n

Sitting here trying to download iOS 7 on my iPad. “About 6 hours remaining.” Ugh. I don’t dare update my iPhone until I know the release is stable. Signing off for now. I’ll be out at the usual hangouts after work, probably leading off at Silly Goose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
