Planning out what looks to be a full week… let’s see what’s going on…<\/p>\n
Tonight there are NFL-watching parties at Big Foot Lodge and the Red Rooster with beer and drink specials.\u00a0 In addition to those parties, there’s always $1.50 PBR at Calhoun’s, and 5 LCD TVs on which to watch the game.\u00a0 At the Flying Saucer, it’s $2.75 Pint Nite, with 2 huge projection TVs, 3 LCDs, and 2 CRTs for the game.\u00a0 The Tap Room has $1 PBR pints and\u00a04 flat-panel TVs (can’t remember if they’re LCD or plasma).<\/p>\n
If football is not your thing, there’s $10 all-you-can-bowl at Jillian’s, and team trivia night at Huey’s at 9 PM.<\/p>\n
Tuesday night is trivia night at the Saucer, of course, 7 PM.\u00a0 If the St. Jude team is too embarrassed to return after getting clobbered by us 3 weeks in a row, there’s also trivia at Tug’s on Mud Island (8:30 PM) and the East Bumblefuck Saucer (7 PM).<\/p>\n
Wednesday is the first of five weekly concerts in the Downtown Alive!\u00a0concert series.\u00a0 This one will be “Neosoulville,” in Gayoso Alley at Peabody Place, with Will Graves, Kelly Hurt, Tonya Dyson, Lila, and Tim Terry.\u00a0 The alley is off Peabody Place between Front and Main.\u00a0 Vending starts at 4:30 PM, music at 5, and will continue until 8:30 PM.\u00a0 Because of the nature of the venue, blankets and chairs are not recommended, but it will be a great place to mingle with people who work and\/or live Downtown.\u00a0 Lots of great restaurants on that block too – Bluefin, Circa, the Majestic Grille – if you’re hungry after the show.\u00a0 More info here<\/a>.\u00a0 I think they’re still looking for a bartender to work that evening.\u00a0 If you have a current ABC license shoot me an e-mail (paul@paulryburn.com<\/a>) and I’ll get you in touch with the person in charge.<\/p>\n Not sure what’s going on Thursday.\u00a0 Friday is the opening of Bardog Tavern on Monroe.\u00a0 It’ll be open into the AM, so I probably won’t start out there right after work… maybe I’ll go to the Saucer and round up a posse to take over to Bardog.<\/p>\n In other news… First United Methodist Church will begin rebuilding October 5<\/a>.\u00a0 That’s two years minus one day after it burned to the ground in the early morning.<\/p>\n The “On the River Seafood and More” place at 51 S. Main now has a scrolling sign in its window saying it will be open Monday, Sept. 22.\u00a0 That’s next Monday.<\/p>\n Dr. Booze<\/a> had a post on his blog this morning about a book called\u00a0The Newly Non-Drinking Girl’s Guide to Pregnancy<\/a> which helps women get through 40 weeks of pregnancy without alcohol. Would make a good gift if you know someone who got knocked up recently.<\/p>\n That’s it for now, picking up a burger, heading back to work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Planning out what looks to be a full week… let’s see what’s going on… Tonight there are NFL-watching parties at Big Foot Lodge and the Red Rooster with beer and drink specials.\u00a0 In addition to those parties, there’s always $1.50 PBR at Calhoun’s, and 5 LCD TVs on which to watch the game.\u00a0 At the … Continue reading “Planning the week”<\/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\/2545"}],"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=2545"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2545\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
