A few weeks ago Shawn texted me and asked me to play on Kooky Canuck&#8217;s team, and of course I happily agreed. The theme is &#8220;Sports Night,&#8221; and it&#8217;s a good thing the questions will not be all sports-themed, or I&#8217;d be mostly useless. Geography, history and Presidential trivia are more my strengths. Looks like I may be driving out there in snow, which I&#8217;m not crazy about, but I believe in honoring commitments. Should be a fun time. Maybe I&#8217;ll bring the camera and get some pics for the blog.<\/p>\n<p>Semi-finals of the International Blues Challenge are tonight on Beale Street. Check <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blues.org\/#ref=index\">the Blues Foundation home page<\/a> for a list of who made the semis and where they&#8217;ll be playing tonight. $15 wristband gets you in all the clubs; buy the bands on the street on Beale.<\/p>\n<p>Kerry from the I Love Memphis Blog had a good post about <a href=\"http:\/\/ilovememphisblog.com\/2011\/02\/stay-stealthy-at-the-talbot-heirs-guesthouse\/\">the Talbot Heirs guest house<\/a>. If you want to stay in the Downtown core, it just doesn&#8217;t get much more Core than Talbot Heirs, and the room size and amenities are surprising for the price. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.talbotheirs.com\/\">Check them out<\/a> if you&#8217;re coming to Memphis. In particular, check out the 360-degree panoramas of their suites! Those things look huge, and I even see exercise equipment in some of them!<\/p>\n<p>This morning Texas de Brazil tweeted that for a limited time, they&#8217;ll be offering seared tuna on their salad bar.<\/p>\n<p>Lunch break&#8230; gonna pick up some PBR for Sunday&#8217;s Super Bowl party, then give Burger King&#8217;s new burger with the cheese and peppers cooked-in a try. Then it will be back to work for 3 more frustrating hours of Constant Contact stripping all the formatting out of my e-mails every time I save, then the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight I&#8217;m going to be playing in the MMHA\/Skal International 6th Annual Trivia Night at the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality &amp; Resort Management at the U of M.
