The Phoenix Club e-mailed to say that they’re moving their annual Mardi Gras party Downtown.\u00a0 In past years, it’s been at the University Club, but they wanted a bigger space and more of an opportunity to get down and dirty, so it will be at the Cadre Building this year, on Saturday, February 21.<\/p>\n

King’s for their Super Bowl party:<\/p>\n I know there will be other Super Bowl parties going on Downtown as well.\u00a0 Last night the bartenders at the Flying Saucer told me they’re going to have free food at the Saucer for the Super Bowl.\u00a0 That will be a rare occasion when a bar puts out free food without drawing the Nuh-Uh Girl in to have a plate or six… I think she’s attending a private Super Bowl party elsewhere Downtown (the same one I’m attending).<\/p>\n I need to stop by Bardog Tavern tonight and get the details of their Super Bowl party to post here.\u00a0 My friend Air Traffic Mike was in there a couple of nights ago, and he told me that Aldo is now putting his Grandmom’s meatballs on a sandwich.\u00a0 Mmmm… I love meatball sandwiches, and as I’ve said before, I’d put those meatballs up against any Italian restaurant in town.\u00a0 Gonna have to give that a try soon.<\/p>\n Mpact Memphis<\/a> members, don’t forget… Mpact Outlet meeting tonight at 6 at the Red Rooster.\u00a0 As I understand it this is a general meeting where you can learn about all of Mpact’s programs and opportunities to get involved.<\/p>\n Time to get stuff done… I have a business meeting at 3, at the Second Street branch office, of course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Phoenix Club e-mailed to say that they’re moving their annual Mardi Gras party Downtown.\u00a0 In past years, it’s been at the University Club, but they wanted a bigger space and more of an opportunity to get down and dirty, so it will be at the Cadre Building this year, on Saturday, February 21.
