This morning, after I posted that Dynaflow is playing Earnestine & Hazel’s Thursday, I got an e-mail from a friend who lives nearby. He told me Karen, the regular downstairs bartender who has been an E&H fixture for years, recently had a heart stint put in and will be off work for several weeks. She’s still being paid her salary, but, of course, most of her income comes from tips. If you make it to E&H this weekend, either for Dynaflow or just to hang out, please consider showing some love for Karen and leaving a donation. She’s good people.<\/p>\n
Great post from Kerry this morning about the Grizzlies Super Fans<\/a>. These fans receive free club-level season passes in exchange for attending every game, wearing the bear, and cheering their lungs out. They’re auditioning for 10 more Super Fans at the February 26 game. If you love the Grizz, come out and show ’em what you’ve got!<\/p>\n One of Romania’s two claims to fame is that it’s Hackerville Central<\/a>, according to WIRED magazine. The other claim to fame, of course, is that the women there are really hot.<\/p>\n Two of my friends in the Downtown real estate biz are giving away iPads. You do business with them, you get an iPad at closing (restrictions apply). Details here.<\/a> I know Jason and Mike personally and they’re good guys.<\/p>\n So, I have a media pass to the Folk Alliance Conference<\/a> this week. Trying to figure out what to wear. I’m not sure how to dress like a folk musician… then again, since I’m media, I suppose I should try to dress in a way that best represents my company. That company would be paulryburn.com. Guess I’ll wear the “I Love Romanian Girls” T-shirt then.<\/p>\n Trivia tonight at the Saucer, 7 PM. I’ve spent considerable time this week taking mind-reading courses, and I’ve successfully downloaded 17 of tonight’s 21 questions from Pete the Trivia Guy’s mind. I hope to get the other four by tonight. Drink New Belgium Fat Tire ($3 Fire Sale today) and earn chances to win the Fat Tire bike hanging in the corner.<\/p>\n Check back in the PM hours… got a treat for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This morning, after I posted that Dynaflow is playing Earnestine & Hazel’s Thursday, I got an e-mail from a friend who lives nearby.
