Brrr it’s cold outside! This morning I learned something that Northerners probably\u00a0already know: When it’s well below freezing, don’t leave the house with wet hair. I\u00a0had to stop for gas and by the time I finished pumping, I had icicles forming in my\u00a0hair.<\/p>\n
Tonight is Thirsty Thursday, the weekly pint night at the Downtown Central BBQ\u00a0location. Yazoo is the featured brewery this week, and there will be $3 pints of its\u00a0Gerst beer. 22-ounce bombers of the brewery’s limited-edition 10-Year IPA will be\u00a0available as well, although probably not for $3. Central puts out complimentary “bar\u00a0bites” during the event. Tonight they will include pork butt sloppy joes, fried\u00a0chicken skins, and possibly BBQ poutine. More info here<\/a>. Free food? Wonder if the\u00a0Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.<\/p>\n The Orpheum has announced a lottery<\/a> for $25 tickets\u00a0to Wicked<\/i>, which will run January 29-February 16. 2 1\/2 hours before each\u00a0performance, people can show up at the box office and have their names placed in a\u00a0lottery drum. 30 minutes later, names will be drawn for a limited number of $25\u00a0orchestra seats, cash only. Limit two per winner, and winners must present valid\u00a0photo ID at the time of signing up and when claiming their prize.<\/p>\n Short on time, so short post today. Don’t forget that the quarterfinals of the International Blues Challenge are still going on and there are $10 wristbands on Beale that get you in all the IBC venues today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brrr it’s cold outside!
