Posting from the Second Street branch office and reading the Memphis Flyer during my lunch break.\u00a0 For lunch today:\u00a0 Clausthauler (a nonalcoholic beer), and LaBatt Blue (which is alcoholic, but is basically Canadian Bud Light so it’s not like one pint will do anything).\u00a0 I’ll be eating twice in a short time span tonight, so I’m skipping the food portion of my lunch break.<\/p>\n
This week’s horoscope says I should “do the wild thing as much as possible.”\u00a0 Now that’s the horoscope I’ve been waiting for!\u00a0 Attn female Scorpios:\u00a0 You have the same horoscope I do, let’s hook up!\u00a0 Actually, some of the biggest psychos I’ve ever met have been female Scorpios, I better be careful what I wish for.<\/p>\n
I made the Flyer twice this week.\u00a0 Pa Pa Pia’s quoted my review from last month in their ad, where I called the place “outstanding.”\u00a0 Got no problem with that.\u00a0 May not be a fan of some of the other restaurants their company runs (the one across the street, for example) but I was thoroughly impressed with Pia’s in every respect when I went in – food, service, they way they went above and beyond to take care of the large group I came with.\u00a0 Great job!<\/p>\n
Then on page 9, I’m quoted in the “Policing Panhandling” news article.\u00a0 The Handling-Panhandling<\/a> forum has seen a huge bump in activity the last week due to all the media coverage of the Downtown security patrols.\u00a0 We’re getting new information on some of the bums who cause a lot of trouble down here.\u00a0 Not the homeless (as in someone without a home) but the bums (as in, people who aggressively beg for money).\u00a0 H-P is not and never will be about harassing the homeless for no reason.<\/p>\n One event in the Flyer that’s especially worth mentioning… “Rock n Roll for Red” tomorrow night (Feb 28) at EP Delta Kitchen.\u00a0 All proceeds benefit the American Heart Association.\u00a0 $5 general admission, $50 for exclusive VIP lounge with free cocktails and apps 7-9 PM.\u00a0 Show up in red attire and receive a complimentary signature drink.\u00a0 For more ticket info call the AHA at 901-383-5400.<\/p>\n Unfortunately I’ll have to miss the event due to the Dempseys show tomorrow night at the Saucer.\u00a0 Another event I’m going to have to miss is “Rock out with your cock out” Thursday night at the Red Rooster, with $1.50 Miller Lite\/Amber Bock all night long, and $2.50 Stella Artois and Blue Moon all night long, and Route South on the stage.\u00a0 Now those are some good beer specials!\u00a0 Looks like the Rooster may present a serious challenge to EP’s\/Hoop’s as my Thursday night hangout once the weather warms up.\u00a0 The Rooster now has a MySpace page<\/a>, so you can be their friend and check their calendar for the latest news.<\/p>\n This non-alcoholic beer sucks.\u00a0 The ticket describing the beer said “surprisingly tasty” but LaBatt was the better tasting of the two beers I’ve had in my lunch break, if that tells you anything.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ll come up here right before I hit Itta Bena tonight and knock my third one out.\u00a0 Hmmm… “Irish Car Bomb” is one I have yet to do.\u00a0 Wonder if Air Traffic will be here this afternoon.\u00a0 I need a car bomb drinking buddy.<\/p>\n My hour is up already!\u00a0 Back to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Posting from the Second Street branch office and reading the Memphis Flyer during my lunch break.\u00a0 For lunch today:\u00a0 Clausthauler (a nonalcoholic beer), and LaBatt Blue (which is alcoholic, but is basically Canadian Bud Light so it’s not like one pint will do anything).\u00a0 I’ll be eating twice in a short time span tonight, so … Continue reading “Lunchtime post”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1650"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1650"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1650\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1650"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1650"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1650"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
