Usually I do a post the week before Halloween announcing what parties are happening on what nights… but with Halloween on Friday this year, there’s no need. Damn near everyone is having a Halloween party tonight. Just take a look at the Downtown Memphis newsletter<\/a> to see what your options are.<\/p>\n

There are a couple of FedExForum Groupons that may be of interest. One is to go see the Grizzlies<\/a> play a home game. There are four different games and two different options to choose from.<\/p>\n

The other FedExForum Groupon is for the Harlem Globetrotters<\/a> on Saturday, January 10. There are three different ticket options.<\/p>\n

The Mid-South Heart Walk is tomorrow morning, so allow extra time if you have to drive the streets of Downtown.<\/p>\n

Last night, an angry crowd told city leaders that they want Riverside Drive converted back to four lanes of car traffic. The city proposed four alternate plans<\/a> for Riverside. I was neutral on the Riverside issue until I took it home from work one day and was caught in a traffic jam that extended south from Beale almost all the way to Georgia. Since then I’ve sided with the “give us our four lanes back” crowd.<\/p>\n

Normally I don’t promote anything that happens in Germantown, but India Fest, tomorrow from 10 to 6, is worth a drive out there. One of the lucky side effects about getting my Master’s in Computer Science is that I met a lot of Indians and got exposed to their culture and especially their delicious food. Pot-luck holiday parties with Indians were the best.<\/p>\n

From Gizmodo: A court fined Google $2000<\/a> for using a cleavage shot of a woman that the company took with one of its StreetView cameras. She told the court she suffered “extreme emotional trauma” because of the image. Are you fucking kidding me?<\/p>\n

They’re letting us go at 3 today, so I’ll be out for the full Happy Hour doing the Ickey Shuffle with my cold cuts. I hear I might be made famous later tonight, so I’ll be staying out late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
