Late getting my Friday update posted today. Our IT staff meeting at work got changed to “IT staff meeting, with pizza,” so I had a working lunch and didn’t get a chance to post.<\/p>\n
There’s a new post on a blog called People for Bikes about plans to convert one mile of Riverside Drive into a car-free space<\/a>. The closed stretch of Riverside would run from Beale to Carolina. Hmmm… that’s the route I take to work. I generally support the movement for more green spaces and bike-friendly spaces, but I’m not sure I’m in favor of this. (Edit:<\/strong> It appears the bike blogger may have been misinformed about closing all four lanes. See my Saturday post<\/a> for an update.)<\/p>\n Country music artist Luke Bryan plays the FedExForum tonight at 8. I’ve been told to expect lots of Daisy Dukes and cowboy boots Downtown tonight, and there’s a chance I could spot the first tube top of the spring.<\/p>\n Dishcrawl is doing a Best of Bars<\/a> Dishcrawl Wednesday, April 9 from 7 to 10 PM. Guests will sample food at three of Downtown’s best bars. Guests are not told which bars they will visit prior to the crawl, other than a meeting location which is emailed a day or two prior.<\/p>\n Really good game notes for the Memphis Tigers vs. SMU game can be found here<\/a>. Game is at 11 AM Saturday at FedExForum and the Tiger seniors will be honored.<\/p>\n This is kinda cool: A social network that you have to be drunk to use.<\/a> No kidding, you have to hook up a Breathalyzer to your phone and blow above a certain amount to be allowed to log in. Shout-out, by the way, to @amprather on Twitter for posting this. He posts a lot of really interesting links and is a good person to follow.<\/p>\n Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, so it will be light outside after 7 PM. Really looking forward to that. Don’t forget to set your clocks forward one hour on Saturday night, especially if you have a 2 PM Sunday Moody Ques meeting (and don’t forget to bring your checkbook to the meeting).<\/p>\n Time for beer. Should be some good people-watching out tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Late getting my Friday update posted today.
