Fifteen different cocktails and pints of PBR are only $1 each at the Silly Goose from 5 to 7 tonight.\u00a0 That’s a deal you can’t beat!\u00a0 Here’s a link to a photo of the dollar cocktail menu<\/a> (from Hot Wing Fest, where the Goose was our team’s sponsor), and here’s a link to a recent Commercial Appeal article on the Goose’s drink specials<\/a>.\u00a0 Not only do you get your choice of cocktails for a buck, but you get free tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.\u00a0 After the dollar deal ends at 7, they have $2 domestic longnecks for the remainder of the evening.\u00a0 If you want to do a little bar-hopping, the best Pint Nite in the city is next door at the Flying Saucer – $2.75 for your choice of almost 70 draft beers.\u00a0 Needless to say, the Goose and then the Saucer are on my agenda for tonight.<\/p>\n

In other news:\u00a0 Yesterday as I was walking to Hot Wing Fest, I noticed police cars blocking off the entire block of Union between Second and Third.\u00a0 I figured maybe there was a big celebrity in town, but then I noticed there was an ambulance too.\u00a0 This morning, I found out what was going on… a wall collapsed<\/a> at the Benchmark Hotel\/Denny’s at Union and Third, injuring a woman who’d just eaten there.<\/p>\n

Friday night is Trolley Tour night, and LOOK AT\u00a0 THE WEATHER!!!<\/a>\u00a0 As of right now they’re predicting high 83, low 64, with little chance of rain.\u00a0 Sounds like this is the night we’ve been waiting for.\u00a0 I bet South Main will be packed.\u00a0 Galleries and shops will be open from 6 to 9 PM, many of them serving refreshments.\u00a0 Also, if you’re a South Main Association member, you get free food and Boscos beer in the parking lot next to Bluff City Coffee.\u00a0 If you’re not a member, you can join just in time for the SMA’s Cinco de Mayo party (which will actually be held on Cuatro de Mayo).<\/p>\n

Eating an Italian oven-baked sandwich from Domino’s as I type this… when I picked it up, I noticed they had a “big deal bailout” which I think was 3 pizzas for $5 each.\u00a0 As I’ve said before, everyone has to call their discount a “bailout” or a “stimulus” these days.<\/p>\n

Back to work… wish I had a fast-forward button to move the time up to 5 PM.\u00a0 Silly Goose, here I come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
