There is trivia there on Tuesdays at 7:30 and 10. Graham who runs the event was running short on people to play the late game, so he asked me to do him a favor and join the late game as a team of one. I haven&#8217;t played trivia at the Saucer since 2012, but I figured, why not? After all, I won as a team of one back in 2005, and that win led me to invite two of my neighbors, the beginning of the legendary Rapscallions team that is probably the all-time money leader at the Saucer.

There were a ton of movie questions and that is my weak subject.<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Memphis Grizzlies forward Tony Allen, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nba.com\/grizzlies\/news\/tony-allen-first-team-all-defense-150520\">who has earned a place on the NBA All-Defensive First Team<\/a> for the third time in his career.<\/p>\n<p>There will be an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1601396990138839\/\">International Ceviche Competition<\/a> at Cafe Keough Sunday, June 7. Celebrity chefs from all over the city will compete to see who can create the best ceviche, a raw fish dish prepared with lemon or lime and spiced peppers. Having lived in San Diego where it was served at damn near every restaurant, I can tell you it is GOOD if you have never tried it. Admission is $15 and along with ceviche sampling, you get live music and drink specials. Part of the proceeds benefit Church Health Center.<\/p>\n<p>There was a media sampling of Capriccio&#8217;s new modern Southern comfort lunch menu yesterday. That&#8217;s comfort food inspired by the South, not food made with the alcoholic beverage Southern Comfort, although that would be a good menu too. I didn&#8217;t make it to the tasting due to my job in Horn Lake, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ilovememphisblog.com\/2015\/05\/eat-this-new-southern-lunch-menu-at-capriccio-grill\/\">but Holly did<\/a> and she has lots of good photos.<\/p>\n<p>I worked from home this afternoon, so I am out a bit early today.
