$\"\"$ <\/a>“Ahhh.\u00a0 It’s good to be home.”<\/em><\/p>\n

That’s likely what I’ll be saying tonight around 5, as I squeeze a lime into my first Dos Equis Lager of the evening, one of nearly 70 beers that will be on sale for $2.75 tonight at the Flying Saucer.<\/p>\n

It’s been a fun weekend at RiverArtsFest, and I’m glad I had Calhoun’s as an alternate base of operations while partying in the South Main area.\u00a0 But it’s good to be back in the core, and it will be good to be back home at the Saucer.<\/p>\n

If you want some other Monday night options for fun, it’s trivia night at Huey’s and the Blue Monkey.\u00a0 Huey’s starts at 9.\u00a0 Not sure of the Monkey’s start time.<\/p>\n

Plenty of cheap PBR around town tonight… it’s dollar PBR night at the Tap Room.\u00a0 Bardog has it for the happy hour price of $1.50 from 5 to 7, then it goes up to a still-very-reasonable $2.50.\u00a0 Calhoun’s has it for $1.50 all day long, every day.<\/p>\n

Then there’s “if we turn on Monday Night Football, sell $2 34 oz. Super Cold Coors Light drafts, and $3 blue kamikazes, and $4 100 proof tequila shots, and 24 wings for $9.99, then maybe we can convince someone to come sit at the bar when Meghan is working” night at Big Foot Lodge.\u00a0 You can get these specials at the tables as well, if you don’t feel like listening to Meghan run her mouth while you eat and drink.\u00a0 They should get a continuous-loop tape player behind the bar, that plays, “Shut up, Meghan.\u00a0 Shut up, Meghan.\u00a0 Shut up Meghan,” whenever she is working.\u00a0 Or get a parrot or myna bird and teach it only that one phrase.\u00a0 Or program Buck the talking\/singing deer next to the bar to say it over and over.<\/p>\n

Then there’s basketball… the Grizzlies take on the Golden State Warriors tonight at 7 PM at the FedExForum.<\/p>\n

So, as you can see, there’s plenty to entertain you on this Monday night.\u00a0 I’ll be at Pint Nite ’til I feel like I’m ready for a change of venue, then probably walk over to Bardog to finish the evening with a PBR or two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
