The Tigers looked great last night against UCF! I’ve always believed Shaq had the potential to score 25 or more a night (35 last night) if he would just stay out of foul trouble. A win over SMU Saturday would give the NCAA committee something to offset last Sunday’s loss to ECU. Game is at 7 PM Saturday.<\/p>\n

Cafe Pontotoc tweeted\/Instragrammed that their kitchen is now open until 10 weeknights and 11 Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

Pam and Terry play the Blind Bear tomorrow night from 10 AM to 1 PM. These two are a lot of fun.<\/p>\n

International Blues Challenge: There’s a Pacific Northwest showcase on the first floor of Club 152 until 4 this afternoon, and a Blind Raccoon showcase at Purple Haze until 5. The IBC Quarterfinals begin around 5 this afternoon with a $10 pass getting you in all the participating clubs on Beale and nearby.<\/p>\n

WWE fans: Thanks to Rolling Stone, you can watch The Undertaker’s greatest moments of the past 25 years as re-enacted by cats<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Memphis Pink Bridal Show comes to the Cook Convention Center this Sunday.<\/a> Plan your perfect wedding, all in one day. My idea of a perfect wedding is no wedding.<\/p>\n

The Flying Fish has announced that fresh hot boiled crawfish will be back this weekend.<\/p>\n

It’s been a good week for inventing\/mis-using words at the Blind Bear. Last night one of the regulars told me I should read more to improve as a writer, telling me I’m “oxymoroning” myself by not reading more. Monday one of the staff learned she had been mis-using “living bi-curiously” all these years when she meant “living vicariously.” “Well, no wonder I’ve been getting funny looks when I say that.” We have such a great group on both sides of the bar up there. Sometimes even the slow nights of Monday and Tuesday turn out to be the best.<\/p>\n

I’ll be leading off happy hour at the Silly Goose, then over to the Blind Bear for a bit then back to the Goose to hear Charvey at 10. Possibly another post before I go out this evening, so check back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
