Mondays normally suck, but I’m in a good mood today… just gave a demo of the company Intranet site I’m building with WordPress<\/a>, and it was well received. The MyCalendar<\/a> plugin, by the way, is simply awesome.<\/p>\n

I’m starting to get info about Super Bowl parties that will happen Downtown on Sunday. One of those will be at Kooky Canuck<\/a>, where the game will be shown on 8 TVs with giant projection screen with sound on. $2 34 oz. Bud Light, $2 wells, $11.99 for 24 wings with fries.<\/p>\n

B.B. King’s will also have a party with a big projection screen, $2.50 domestic bottles, $3 domestic pints, $3 Alabama Slammers, three domestic bottles and three hot dogs for $10 (add chili $1 per dog), $3 bowls of chili, 35 cent wings, $5 cheese nachos (add chili $2), $2 hot dogs, $3 chili dogs. There will also be a $15 Super Combo with three domestic bottles, hot wings, cat bites, and mini corndogs.<\/p>\n

If you know of other Super Bowl parties that are Downtown and open to the public, send the details to paul@paulryburn.com and I’ll post them.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Dyer’s on being named one of the best burgers in the U.S.<\/a> by Food & Wine magazine. I can’t argue. When I moved Downtown, Dyer’s was the very first meal I had as a resident. Good to see Dyer’s burgers being mentioned in the company of great burgers like California’s In-n-Out Burger.<\/p>\n

The Flyer’s Hunrgy Memphis blog interviewed Krista McCracken<\/a>, sommelier at the Peabody, recently. In the interview, McCracken talks about the new Master Tasters wine club that will meet for the first time Wednesday at the Corner Bar.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Llama Tag<\/a> on winning the SeedHatchery investment\u00a0(Edit: Thanks\u00a0Patrick for the correction)\u00a0for the best pitch at the 48-Hour Launch event that happened this weekend. Llama Tag is described as a way for you to leave your mark everywhere you go, via social graffiti\/augmented reality. Sounds interesting… follow them on Twitter at @llamatag. There are a lot of neat business ideas coming out of Memphis these days.<\/p>\n

Pint Nite at the Saucer tonight, most drafts $3… I’m 16 beers away from finishing my 5th plate, and I plan to reduce that number to 13 tonight. The 10:00 poker game at the Silly Goose is possibly on my agenda as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
