Exciting news this morning… I’ve been asked to be a judge for this Sunday’s Pub Olympics at Hoop’s Bar<\/strong>.\u00a0 I’m not sure what being a judge entails, but I’m happy to do it, especially since the words “we will provide beer” were part of their request.\u00a0 They told me to be there at 1 PM Sunday, which is when the festivities kick off.\u00a0 More info about Pub Olympics on the Hoop and Tony Show<\/a> blog.<\/p>\n

Last night, I went to the Saucer where I met up with my BFF Suzy<\/strong>, wonderful party planner Kacy<\/strong>, and some other girl<\/strong> to plan the details of TubeTopalooza, the event that will wrap up Tube Top Month at the end of the month.\u00a0 Here’s a pic of the planning session:<\/p>\n

Note that Suzy and Kacy have tube tops on.\u00a0 They were picking out colors for the Evite when this pic was taken.\u00a0 They wanted a pink background, but as a co-host I shot that idea down immediately.<\/p>\n

Another wine tasting to tell you about:\u00a0 Joe’s Liquors is doing a tasting at The Vine, 1819 Madison, on Thursday, June 26, 6:30-8:30 PM.\u00a0 $35 per person.\u00a0 Joe’s will be pouring a selection of wines from around the world, with each station pouring wines from a different region such as California, Washington, Australia, etc.\u00a0 The Vine is the building next to Neil’s that used to be Red Square years ago.\u00a0 Stop by Joe’s at 1681 Poplar or call 901-725-4252 for tickets.<\/p>\n

The time for the Downtowners for Obama meetup at the Majestic Grille on Saturday, June 28 has been moved to 3 PM.\u00a0 The reason for the time change is that so many people have been signing up to attend that the meetup is going to take over a significant portion of the restaurant.\u00a0 By doing it at 3 there will be plenty of room for everyone to spread out and be comfortable and get done before the Majestic’s dinner crowd shows up.\u00a0 If you want to attend the Downtowners for Obama meetup, you can find details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

May do the Peabody rooftop tonight, since I now have free passes.\u00a0 Not sure though.\u00a0 They’re promoting the parties as networking events, and this week’s networking theme is “Ole Miss alumni and students.”\u00a0 Longtime readers of this blog know that I’m not an Ole Miss fan.\u00a0 I may sit in the lobby and sip on a drink at the bar and see who comes in.\u00a0 If I feel like going upstairs, I will.\u00a0 If not, there’s always the Rooster or whatever else is down the street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
