It’s just before 8 in the morning, and I’m up on a Saturday. \u00a0Gonna get dressed, put some air in the bike’s tires, and ride down to the Cooper-Young Festival. \u00a0Looks like any rain we get from Hurricane Ike won’t be here until tomorrow morning, so I should be OK to ride. \u00a0A few things before I go though…<\/p>\n
First of all, if you’re not planning to go to the festival and want to watch football, don’t forget that Calhoun’s is now opening early for the games. \u00a0They open at 11 today I believe, and Best Pool Partner Ever Lauren is back bartending the morning shift. \u00a0They have the ESPN college game day TV package. \u00a0They also have a featured game every week. \u00a0If you’re there for the entire game, and the team they pick covers the spread in the featured game, you get 25% off your tab. \u00a0Just think about it… that’s 37 and a half cents off every $1.50 PBR you order!<\/p>\n
Last night at the Saucer, I ran into the owner of Bardog Tavern on Friday, and he told me that next Friday, September 19, will likely be the opening day. \u00a0Can’t wait. \u00a0A neighborhood bar less than a block from home… love it.<\/p>\n
I also walked by 51 S. Main yesterday and noticed that restaurant-to-come-soon On the River Seafood and More now has its hours in the window. \u00a0It’ll be open until 8 Monday-Thursday, 10 Friday, and midnight Saturday. \u00a0So Downtowners will have another place to get good seafood for dinner.<\/p>\n
Dr. Bob<\/a> will have a booth at the festival selling his artwork, and I’ll probably spend a fair amount of time in there today reminiscing about all the times I beat Pete at pool. \u00a0Around 10:30 I’ll get there, lock the bike to the nearest available street sign, and then I’ll be out on the street until the festival ends at 7:00. \u00a0No breaks this year, except to the convenience store to load up on PBR tallboys.<\/p>\n Looking forward to having a beer with fellow blogger Buck Daddy<\/a> at the fest. \u00a0Buck Daddy, by the way, has info on a meet and greet with WWE Superstars<\/a> happening tomorrow at Stereo One in East Bumblefuck. \u00a0WWE Monday Night Raw will be broadcast from the FedExForum this Monday.<\/p>\n Thanks in advance to Bicycle Bobby, who is going to ride by the Saucer and check the Fire Sale and text it to me, so I can update “what’s the fire sale?” on the blog. \u00a0Outta here, see you at Cooper-Young.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s just before 8 in the morning, and I’m up on a Saturday. \u00a0Gonna get dressed, put some air in the bike’s tires, and ride down to the Cooper-Young Festival. \u00a0Looks like any rain we get from Hurricane Ike won’t be here until tomorrow morning, so I should be OK to ride. \u00a0A few things … Continue reading “Early Saturday morning post before I head to Cooper-Young”<\/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\/2541"}],"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=2541"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2541\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2541"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2541"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2541"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
