First of all, let me give a warm welcome to the newest member of our Rapscallions trivia team, Anthony Michael West, who joined the team Friday night about 6:15. In only 20 years and 363 days he’ll be able to meet us at the Saucer for beers.<\/p>\n
I went to a GREAT party last night in the back room of Earnestine & Hazel’s. It was a Music Fest after-party hosted by the South Main Dirty Dozen. Fantastic mix of people, good drinks (Maker’s Mark at an open bar pretty much rocks), and Super 5 on the stage. The acoustics are great in that back room and bands really sound good there.<\/p>\n
E&H closed an hour early though. They flashed the lights and kicked everyone out at 2. That’s weird… usually people are still arriving<\/em> at 2, where they hang out until close at 3. Someone told me they’re closing at 2 for the entire month of May.<\/p>\n While there, I made a deal with fellow blogger AngieDawn<\/a>… she’s been looking for a guy to take clothes shopping, and I’ve been looking for a female with good taste to help me pick out clothes. Cool.<\/p>\n While at E&H I saw a sign on the wall that said, “Jazz Sunday.” So I guess they’ll have jazz tonight, if you’re looking for someplace to go to wind down after Music Fest.<\/p>\n Rio Loco is doing a T-shirt giveaway for Cinco de Mayo tomorrow. Buy two jumbo margaritas or a pitcher of margaritas, and get a free Rio Loco shirt. Just don’t wear the shirt to the Flying Saucer or waitress Brittney will whine at you to go get her Rio Loco cheese dip.<\/p>\n Is Happy Mexican doing anything for Cinco de Mayo? If so, let me know and I’ll post it. I still haven’t been to Happy Mexican yet since it changed ownership.<\/p>\n Plans for today: Brunch at McGuinness 11 AM-1 PM; Music Fest 1 PM until I get tired of being there; possibly Calhoun’s, Itta Bena (Sunday with Sam – drink and appetizer specials), or the Saucer afterwards. Curious about this Bloody Mary bar at the Red Rooster. I may delay my trip to Music Fest by 30 minutes in order to make a brief visit to the Rooster and find out what’s going on with that.<\/p>\n Weather looks like it will be better than the last two days. Don’t forget sunscreen if you’re headed down to Tom Lee Park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" First of all, let me give a warm welcome to the newest member of our Rapscallions trivia team, Anthony Michael West, who joined the team Friday night about 6:15.
