Didn’t go to Music Fest last night… people watching is more fun than the festival itself.\u00a0 Started off at the Saucer, but the high point of the early evening was definitely standing on the Silly Goose patio with Air Traffic Mike.\u00a0 Tracy was selling hot dogs on the patio.\u00a0 Here’s a pic of Air Traffic Mike eating a hot dog:<\/p>\n

Air Traffic Mike said the hot dogs Tracy was serving were really good, but I didn’t buy one because the weiners looked slightly off color.\u00a0 Tracy’s buns looked fantastic though.<\/p>\n

While there, I got a look at the celebrity lineup for the Goose’s Cinco de Mayo burrito-eating contest at 8:30 PM on Tuesday, May 5.\u00a0 Here it is:<\/p>\n

\"burritocontest\"<\/a><\/p>\n

John Bragg, Michael Patrick, Paula Raiford and Hoop are among the names.\u00a0 I think they should invite the Nuh-Uh Girl to enter… she’s a celebrity too (thanks to this blog) and can out-eat anyone on this list.<\/p>\n

A little after 10 I headed south to the South Main Dirty Dozen party at the Happy Mexican Club.\u00a0 Yes, club.\u00a0 Did you know that, south of the restaurant entrance, there’s a nightclub?\u00a0 A really nice nightclub, too, with a big dance floor and a good bar.\u00a0 Great location for the party!\u00a0 Hung out there for a couple of hours, then I said to my friend Nick, who’s new to Memphis, “You’ve seen Paula & Raiford’s Disco, now do you want to see the other one, Hollywood Disco?”\u00a0 So we made the short walk to Vance.<\/p>\n

We hung out there for a while, then decided we were hungry, and headed over to the Green Beetle to eat, taking a new friend with us.\u00a0 Ate, then went back to the Disco – they’ve changed the rule, and allowed re-entry there – nice.\u00a0 After another beer it was time to call it a night… walked outside, and it was pouring rain.\u00a0 Home was 7 1\/2 blocks away.\u00a0 “This is going to suck,” I thought.\u00a0 Then the Disco’s limo driver said, “hop in, I’ll give you a ride,” and I got home nice and dry.\u00a0 I really like the Disco and the only reason I don’t go there more is the distance from home compared to the other one.\u00a0 They are great people and I really hope Downtown is big enough for two discos.<\/p>\n

Attn new friend:\u00a0 You have my number.\u00a0 You said you’d call today.\u00a0 Call me.<\/p>\n

Hmmm let’s see what my Facebook friends have been up to… “Amanda has a big hat and is ready for the Kentucky Derby party.”\u00a0 Confirmation that Amanda is indeed a big dork.\u00a0 I bet Ptolemy Kat<\/a> is going to that party too – it sounds like the kind of thing she’d get excited about.\u00a0 Just checked Kat’s blog for the first time in a couple of months, and the first post mentions the “U-Club.”\u00a0 It figures.<\/p>\n

And Rochelle changed her profile pic to one where she’s wearing a tube top… nice.\u00a0 Although, I’ve never understood her obsession of taking pics of her feet, and other people’s feet.<\/p>\n

The final tally for April – number of times I visited Downtown bars last month:<\/p>\n
