Went to CityHouse Salon on my lunch break to get a haircut.\u00a0 Afterward, I realized I was only a few blocks away from the Wendy’s at Third and Crump.\u00a0 So I drove down there to get food to take back to work… and as I type this I’m sitting here eating THE BACONATOR!!!<\/p>\n
Great article<\/a> in the Commercial Appeal this morning about Blake Payne, who at the age of 21 is the executive chef of LoLo’s Table.\u00a0 I haven’t been to LoLo’s in a while, which is odd considering I live a half block from the place.\u00a0 One of the friendliest places Downtown.\u00a0 Good happy hour too.<\/p>\n The Weather Channel is predicting a wintry mix and a low of 30 for tomorrow night.\u00a0 Hmmm, conditions could be right for some tricky driving tomorrow.\u00a0 Be extra careful if you’re driving Downtown for the Foo Fighters concert.<\/p>\n I barhopped last night.\u00a0 Had a beer at the Saucer, then a beer at Circa, then a beer at Huey’s.\u00a0 Then I went back to the Saucer\u00a0and stayed\u00a0until I found a compelling reason to leave (they turned the lights on and started stacking the chairs).\u00a0 So I started to walk home, but noticed that McGuinness was on the way home and ended up there.\u00a0 Most of the Saucer’s closing staff did as well.<\/p>\n While at McGuinness, I heard a disturbing story about one of the bums – “CAN I AKS YOU A QUESTION” guy.\u00a0\u00a0About 5’11”, wild crazy hair.\u00a0 This guy is very intimidating, comes\u00a0straight at you going, “SIR.\u00a0 MA’AM.\u00a0 CAN I AKS YOU A QUESTION.”\u00a0\u00a0I’m sure\u00a0there’s no need to tell you\u00a0what the question is.\u00a0 He is known to follow people.\u00a0 Last night I heard that a service industry worker was so scared of him she started running away – and he jogged after her.\u00a0 Anyone else had run-ins with this guy?\u00a0 I need to get a photo of him to put on the panhandling forum, but he’s so aggressive that I’m scared to get close enough to take his picture with only 3x optical zoom.<\/p>\n While at McGuinness, the tall brunette Saucer waitress managed to coax a free shot out of me, despite that fact that she was so grouchy that I wondered if she lives on Sesame Street in the garbage can with Oscar.\u00a0 I think she was a bit surprised,\u00a0knowing that former waitress Zebra Hair tried for months and months to get me to buy her drinks but never succeeded.<\/p>\n When did they start putting ketchup on the Baconator?\u00a0 I hate ketchup.<\/p>\n Last night I heard that part of the space above Downtown Huey’s will be converted into apartments.\u00a0 Not sure what the time frame is for that.<\/p>\n Attn local bands:\u00a0 The Memphis Flyer is starting Flyer Radio<\/a> to promote local music, and they’re looking for song submissions.<\/p>\n Rio Loco is having their second birthday party on Saturday the 26th.<\/p>\n Back to work.\u00a0 I’m assisting in the development of design documents this week.\u00a0 Yay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Went to CityHouse Salon on my lunch break to get a haircut.\u00a0 Afterward, I realized I was only a few blocks away from the Wendy’s at Third and Crump.\u00a0 So I drove down there to get food to take back to work… and as I type this I’m sitting here eating THE BACONATOR!!!
