(Edited Saturday, November 12: Well, I typed this all up and then forgot to hit the Publish button, so I guess this is now a Saturday update)<\/span><\/p>\n

– Last night I went to the Dempseys show, and ran into regular blog reader Mallory. She commented that she was sad that my blog didn’t make the top 5 Memphis blogs in the Memphis Flyer “Best of Memphis” awards. Personally, I’m not surprised – this blog is about as interesting as cat poop. I mean, I spent the entire month of June talking about tube tops. Carol Coletta’s blog made the top 5. I have a feeling her blog is probably more interesting than mine.<\/p>\n

– Interesting fact: Carol is the only person ever to hand me a loss at Trivial Pursuit.<\/p>\n

– My new digital camera has 18 different settings, for taking different kinds of pictures: landscapes, close-ups, night pictures, candlelight, document photos, etc. But there needs to be a 19th setting called “Raiford’s.” I’ve tried 3 times now to get a decent pic in that place and I can’t. All I get is fog and maybe a couple of lights. Guess I’m going to have to get there right at 10 before Raiford starts hitting the smoke machine.<\/p>\n

– Plans for this weekend: none so far. What’s going on around town?<\/p>\n

– A week from today (November 18) is my birthday, so plans for next weekend will likely involve getting drunk.<\/p>\n

– Come to think of it, plans for this weekend will probably involve getting drunk too.<\/p>\n

– And on Sunday, November 20, the Dempseys return to Downtown Huey’s after a year-long absence. WOOHOO! Downtown Huey’s is my favorite place to hear the Dempseys. The stage is close to the crowd and the acoustics are good.<\/p>\n

– Then on Wednesday, November 23, I’ll drive over to Little Rock to spend Thanksgiving with my mother. Hmmmm… I could come back on Friday the 25th for Trolley Art Tour, or I could spend an extra night in Little Rock and go out to their bars in their River Market district. This is a tough decision, hang on, let me do a little research.<\/p>\n

(dialing number on cell phone)<\/p>\n

“Flying Saucer, Little Rock. May I help you?”<\/p>\n

“Yes, do you have any Romanians?”<\/p>\n

“I’m sorry, sir, we don’t carry any beers from Romania.”<\/p>\n

“No, I’m talking about the waitresses, the girls in the miniskirts. Are any of them from Romania?”<\/p>\n

“No, sir, they’re not.”<\/p>\n

“Oh well, thanks anyway.” (click)<\/p>\n

Guess there’s no point spending the extra night in Little Rock, then. So I’ll be back Friday the 25th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
