This is a drunk post.<\/p>\n
So tonight I was out and I heard that legendary Sleep Out’s bartender FRENCHIE will be at the Holiday Inn Select Friday night. In case you don’t know where that is, here’s how to find the HI Select: Drive downtown. Find The Peabody. Look across the street (Union Avenue). You’ll see the Select.<\/p>\n
Although I haven’t in the past been a fan of Holiday Inn bars, I have to praise them for having the common sense to realize that a popular former Sleep Out’s bartender is going to bring a built-in regular crowd and generate a lot of business. That’s more common sense that a 20-year veteran of the Downtown Memphis restaurant scene has displayed recently. A lot more. Steak, anyone?<\/p>\n
Frenchie doesn’t know I’m posting this, by the way, so don’t hold him responsible. No one other than myself and Coors Light (yes I know it’s shitty beer, but it was on tap at Blues City) are responsible. If there are any inaccuracies in this post let me know.<\/p>\n
What else… I went to see The Dempseys @ Blues City tonight and Bradley D. wanted me to blog the fact that he had on a shirt with flowers on it. It matched his guitar, actually. On the way home I stopped by Big Foot for drunken food, and forgot to ask Shawn about a rumor I heard that he’s honoring Sleep Out’s happy hour specials for former regulars, whatever that means.<\/p>\n
The Dempseys, by the way, will be playing the Saucer Saturday, March 3 at 9:30. There’s a slight chance I might be there.<\/p>\n
Congrats to the Rapscallions on a first-place victory at trivia Tuesday night, adding $50 to our stash for a total of $395. We’re gonna have to cash in those gift certificates one of these days.<\/p>\n
Go read the CA article on EP Delta Kitchen executive chef Michael Patrick<\/a> if you haven’t already.<\/p>\n That’s all. I got home with my food and it started raining cats and dogs 1 minute later. Guess I’ll pass out now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is a drunk post.
