The Woot-off<\/a> is continuing for a second day, possibly due to problems with their servers yesterday.<\/p>\n

Bardog Tavern now has a Facebook page for their Wednesday night poker tournaments. You can see it here<\/a>. They’ve also expanded their breakfast menu to include breakfast burritos, and they’ll soon have hot chocolate, yogurt, bananas, and apples.<\/p>\n

If anyone’s thinking about moving to Mud Island, there’s a really nice condo for lease – details here<\/a>. 2 story, 2 BR, 2.5 bath, 3 balconies, whirlpool, both bedrooms have private baths, W\/D, and a lot more.<\/p>\n

Someone who works at AutoZone sent me this: There will be a 20 minute aerobatic demonstration by the Lucas Oil plane over the tip of Mud Island at 11 AM on Monday, September 28. Should be visible to most of Downtown.<\/p>\n

It’s rock climbing wall night at BRIDGES, Auction at Fourth, from 6 to 9.<\/p>\n

Check out this TIME magazine article on Detroit<\/a>. There are some parallels to Memphis.<\/p>\n

Yesterday all the new people at work got to go on a field trip to Sam’s Town to see a regional bridge tournament. It was very interesting… there was this big room that must have held 150 tables, maybe 200. It was absolute chaos until 2:00 as people were milling around, getting registered, finding their partners… and by 2:10 the room was quiet and everyone was playing cards. Before the tournament, we got a free buffet (Nuh-Uh Girl: “Free buffet? Paul, do you know if your company is hiring?”) and a free hour to do whatever we wanted. I wandered upstairs to the poker room. There was a table but it was something like $1\/3 blinds for No-Limit Hold’em, and that sounded like a good way to leave the casino several hundred dollars poorer. So I played a 25 cent video poker machine and lost about $5.<\/p>\n

After work I attended the Alley Jams<\/a> alley party in Gayoso Alley and it was a lot of fun. Good music, good beer (Dos Equis Lager? good call!), and I got to talk to a lot of people I haven’t seen in a while. Next Wednesday’s party will be in the Rendezvous alley, and the Dempseys will play – sadly, I have to miss this one due to a conflicting event. I saw on Twitter that these things are going on until 9 in the evening, so plenty of time to get out there and enjoy.<\/p>\n

Plans for tonight:\u00a0 Not sure, beyond the fact that beer will surely be involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
