I have great news: Local on Main fixed its upstairs unisex restroom. FINALLY!!! The restroom had been out of order since Veterans Day, leaving patrons to make a 15-stair (yes I counted) walk to the ground floor and then back up.<\/p>\n

You may remember that the Bear hosted a get-together for UT alumni earlier this week. Jeannette and Wade’s hospitality impressed them to the point that they wanted to book more, and larger, events at the Bear.<\/p>\n One other piece of insider Blind Bear info: A large wedding party (close to 100) plans to come there 9:15-9:30ish tonight following their rehearsal dinner. If you’re there this evening, I suggest you time your drinking accordingly and order another one around 9:10… if you wait, you may be competing with a LOT of people for the bartender’s attention.<\/p>\n The good news is, I know the spending limit on their communal tab, and it’s not that high given the number of people. So they won’t be crowding the bar all night. Also, the members of that group I met last night seem to “get it” when it comes to ordering at bars. They understand that when 30 people are behind them waiting, you order something easy and quick to make. You don’t go, “Ooooo… I don’t know what I want… can you make me something BROWN… but not TOO brown?”<\/p>\n More inside info to plan your weekend: Nucor Steel is having its Christmas party tomorrow at the Peabody.

I don’t know if I should publish it here. But it makes me proud that I usually marry her when her name comes up in the FMK game<\/a>. Although, my desire to marry her has more to do with her being the heiress to a liquor store than it does with her being adorable.<\/p>\n Video: Fishing for catfish on Mud Island<\/p>\n\n
