World Cup games start today. The Brass Door has announced a 10 AM opening time every day from now until June 26 for the games. During the games there will be $3 pints, $10 beer buckets, and giant TVs on with full sound. They posted a full lineup of this weekend’s games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last night Daniel told me the Silly Goose will open at 2 today for the World Cup, although happy hour bartender Jessica texted me and said he told her 2:30. In any event, the Goose will be open in time for Brazil vs. Croatia. They were doing a lot of remodeling last night: painting, new construction. Of course “Mr. Load-in” from the BBQ team was right there to assist with the hard labor, lifting several 16-ounce glasses of PBR.<\/p>\n

From FiveThirtyEight: Mexico’s and Bosnia’s players have been ordered to not have sex while at the World Cup. Does sex affect athletic performance?<\/a> I know that if I were a soccer player, and a willing Brazilian tube top hottie approached me, I would find it hard to say no.<\/p>\n

I wonder if Brazilian women wear tube tops? I have a former student from the U of M who is from Brazil. I need to message her on Facebook and ask.<\/p>\n

The MBJ reports that Local Gastropub owner Jeff Johnson has pulled a permit to renovate the former Pa Pa Pia’s space on Union into Agave Maria<\/a>, a Mexican restaurant.<\/p>\n

The Kicks will headline the Peabody rooftop party tonight. There will also be a casting call for the Memphis Flyer fashion issue. Doors at 6, $10 cover, ladies free until 7.<\/p>\n

It’s movie night tonight at the Orpheum: Double feature of Bridesmaids<\/i> and Father of the Bride<\/i>. First film starts at 7. Get there early for themed activities and cocktails.<\/p>\n

MATA has posted alternate shuttle routes<\/a> for the buses that will replace the trolleys for the next 3-6 months. Fares will remain the same and trolley passes will be accepted.<\/p>\n

Front Street reopened at A.W. Willis reopened this morning. Crews had been repairing a sinkhole there. By the way, Memphis Public Works is now on Twitter. Follow the agency at @Memphispubworks.<\/p>\n

Time to get back to work. I’ll be out at the Goose to watch the World Cup this evening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
