BBQ Festival
So I haven’t gotten around to writing in a while, but I have an excuse. I’ve been extremely busy. Last week was the Memphis in May World Championship BBQ Festival. This year, I joined the Ques Brothers team instead of just going to their tent and mooching off them. What this meant was a fair … Continue reading “BBQ Festival”
Beer festivals are a wonderful invention…
How can you go wrong with a beer festival? I mean, it’s truly a brilliant idea to start with. You take about 5000-7000 people, pack them into a park area roughly the size of a city block, then give them unlimited free beer for a few hours.

After 50 years, the coral reefs have grown back and there’s a thriving ecosystem underwater where the islands used … Continue reading “Nukes are good for you!”
Look at what Dad brought me!
The finished piano-bar: (click any of the pictures to see it larger) It looks good closed, but then you can break it open to show off the keyboard too (not working yet, but soon): And then, of course, you can whip out the full on bar: Nice. Dad did a damn fine job, I have … Continue reading “Look at what Dad brought me!”
Game night tonight!
Go Tigers! Planning on watching the game tonight over at the Red Rooster, should be a good time. The Rooster is a nice place, good food, cheap drinks, handy location… I give it the Otto Seal of Approval. This is much like the Good Housekeeping seal, except that it means less housework and more drunken … Continue reading “Game night tonight!”
Time for a show
Here’s a picture of the sign above the New Daisy Theater on Beale Street. Guess which show I saw tonight? As Mikey would say, I’ll give you three guesses and the first two don’t count. Henry Rollins was awesome. I highly recommend the show if he’s coming to your town any time soon. Really. Go. … Continue reading “Time for a show”
