Couple of more quick items that I was too tired to post last night…<\/p>\n
The CA has a good article<\/a> today on NewVoBlues, an organization that is reviving the tradition of blues dancing here in the home of the blues.\u00a0 NewVo has one of their biggest events of the year, Bluesalicious, this weekend, with dance classes and outings to local juke joints.\u00a0 Schedule for the weekend is at the bottom of the article.<\/p>\n I’ve been receiving e-mails about a site called nofoodandbeveragetax.com<\/a> that is petitioning against a proposed 2% tax on the local food and beverage industry.\u00a0 This tax will passed on directly to your bill when you eat out, and is especially hurtful for locally-owned restaurants who don’t have a national corporation behind them.\u00a0 If you eat out a lot like I do, this is a petition you should consider signing.\u00a0 It isn’t the restaurants’ fault that the county can’t manage to balance its damn budget.<\/p>\n Plans for the rest of this week:<\/p>\n Tonight:\u00a0 Itta Bena then Red Rooster, see above.<\/p>\n Tomorrow:\u00a0 Dempseys @ Saucer, 9:30.<\/p>\n Friday:\u00a0 MAYBE South Main Trolley Tour.\u00a0 Looking forward to next month’s Trolley Tour though, when the weather will be much nicer.<\/p>\n Saturday:\u00a0 Don’t know.\u00a0 Probably out getting new pictures of bums in the afternoon.<\/p>\n Sunday:\u00a0 Brunch at McGuinness (week 1 of 2)<\/p>\n Time to head to work.\u00a0 Things have been picking up lately and I’ve gotten a lot of great experience programming in a true multi-tiered environment (where the data logic, business logic, and business objects are all separate) and working with a team on projects (in previous jobs I tended to work on projects alone).\u00a0 It can be a lot of fun sometimes.\u00a0 Outta here til later, will have my laptop with me at lunch, could be another post then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" … And I’m back.\u00a0 Couple of quick items before I head to work.\u00a0 It’s Tiger Blue Day, as deemed by an e-mail sent out by the Leadership Academy, and I have blue on.\u00a0 Do you?\u00a0 For those of you who missed last night’s post:\u00a0 1) Game has been changed to 7:00, so Rapscallions\/extended family\/random hot … Continue reading “I’m true blue, hoping you will be too.
