Like pizza?\u00a0 A pizza place in the Pinch is having its grand opening party tonight.\u00a0 Ferraro’s Pizza & Pub<\/a> at 111 Jackson features New York-style pies and homemade stromboli.\u00a0 They have PBR on tap, so this is clearly a Downtown business that understands what its customers want.\u00a0 You can “like” them on Facebook to keep up with the latest news from Ferraro’s.<\/p>\n

Mashable had an article yesterday about a plugin for Foursquare that is sheer genius – Avoidr<\/a>.\u00a0 Avoidr lets you make lists of people you’re trying to avoid – exes, annoying people, douchebags, etc. – and then you can use their web interface to see where in the neighborhood those people are.\u00a0 I know a lot of Downtowners who will find this tool useful.<\/p>\n

Mashable also had a post that is a collection of WordPress 3.0 resources<\/a>.\u00a0 I’ve read a little about WP 3.0 and I am becoming convinced it is the CMS of the future.\u00a0 Everyone is going to be using it, or a tool like it, in 3-5 years.\u00a0 Congrats to local tech ninja Otto<\/a> on getting mentioned not once, but twice, in Mashable’s post.<\/p>\n

Rehab Disco posted on Facebook that their downstairs bar, Rockbottom, has added an Internet jukebox and an ATM “for your Downtown get-down.”<\/p>\n

I’ve been forgetting to include Country on Beale in my Thursday night run-down of events, probably because I’m not into country.\u00a0 Hollywood Disco has announced that they will have a COB after-party every Thursday night from 9 to 2.\u00a0 Hollywood Disco is 18 and up Thursday and Friday, one of the few clubs in the city where you don’t have to be 21 to get in.<\/p>\n

Bardog Tavern has announced they will open an hour early, at 11 AM, on Saturday, to accommodate those who want to watch the World Cup.\u00a0 They have $3 Guinness during WC games.\u00a0 I’ve been told that Wednesday morning when they opened early for the USA-Algeria game, it was about as busy as a typical Saturday night around midnight.\u00a0 Wow.<\/p>\n

Congrats to the Peabody Thursday night parties on being named one of the top 10 rooftop bars in the US<\/a> by Gadling.<\/p>\n

I’ll be at Trolley Night on South Main tonight, with appearances by local sports mascots and belly dancers.\u00a0 Temps are still expected to be hot and sticky, so a tube top is advisable attire if you’re thinking about coming down.\u00a0 I’ll have the camera with me and am looking for some tube top pics to post to the blog, so stop me if you have one on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
