The trivia team lost last night, and this time it was entirely my fault… there was an 18-point question asking who was President when the stock market fully recovered to its pre-1929 highs. I thought the year was 1952 and guessed Truman. Turns out it was actually 1954, when Eisenhower was president. Sorry guys. Congratulations to the winning teams.<\/p>\n
25 years… wow. What if the market takes until 2033 to regain its 2008 levels?<\/p>\n
After trivia I stopped by the Silly Goose for a couple of two-buck Tuesday cocktails. I heard the two-buck tacos (you get two of them for $2)\u00a0were the hit of the evening, but they ran out before I got there. Next week I’ll try to make a pre-trivia stop at the Goose and try their tacos.\u00a0 They say they’re going to order more of them next week, so they won’t run out.<\/p>\n
They have a new special starting tonight too. Wine Down Wednesdays at the Silly Goose will feature $3 house wines and $4 sangria all night.<\/p>\n
The video that Michael Donahue shot at Paula & Raiford’s Disco is now on the Commercial Appeal’s home page<\/a>.<\/p>\n I may take a night off tonight… need to catch up on a freelancing project that didn’t quite get finished before I started the new job. I also need to rest up for tomorrow night, which will be the season opener for the Peabody rooftop parties. I’m finally going to get to see Lord T & Eloise perform.<\/p>\n Outta here for now, time to grab some lunch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The trivia team lost last night, and this time it was entirely my fault… there was an 18-point question asking who was President when the stock market fully recovered to its pre-1929 highs.
