what did you do this weekend, memphis edition
well. what a fun memphis weekend. friday night i went to paula raifords for some late night dancing. i danced so hard my shorts ripped apart. joel a long (divorced) had entered a drawing and won a free VIP party for 20 guests, and we had exclusive access to the upstairs party room.
saturday started at trashley's downtown condo. she had set up a beer die table in her living room. if you don't know what beer die is, its too hard to explain. lets just say its a gentleman's game.
morganthony's engagement party was just down the block from trash's in a beautiful home on the south bluffs overlooking the mississippi river. we watched the sunset from the comfort of the shaded and misted patio.
after the party, we stepped outside and caught a downtown trolley that dropped us off at beale street. total cost, $1 per person. i felt transported back to the olden days.
beale street was poppin off saturday night. the fuzz was there checking all the ladies bags and wanding every guy. its now legal to carry firearms in tennessee, but not on beale street. i think thats for the best. there was a near-riot later that night, but we missed it.
the party people at stopped in at silky o'sullivans and sat near the band so we could hop up and groove as necessary. i made one appearance on the dance floor during a showstopping tina turner medley that included proud mary, nutbush city limits, and some great dancing by yours truely.
we cabbed it from silky's through the legit north memphis hood and finally ended the night at wild bills, a ghetto juke joint. it was my first time there, but i have decided that i want to go back late night every time i visit memphis from now on. the location is totally sketchy, the crowd is a great mix of all ages races and types, the music hot, the food is fried, and the beer comes in one size: 40 oz.
overall, 11 biscuits

what did you do this weekend?
i had an 11 biscuits weekend. on saturday, me and thomas wilhelm and rhonda rulebook and g.animalz and lillywhitefish and bun-bun and emilube and the whole gang went out to governor's island for a picnic and some bike rides! starla was even there, and by "there" i mean "on the same small island as me but couldn't be bothered to stop by and say hello."
n-e-wayz. one major reason for going on this particular day was that there was a free concert at "the beach", featuring the morning benders and freelance whales. two of my recent faves, as you may know. really quickly, i'll just say the morning benders put on one of the best live shows i've seen in ever. y'all should totes go see 'em. here they are doing a near-perfect cover of fleetwood mac's "dreams".
what a day!

"Diego is my best friend and I don't care what he looks like, to me his face makes him special. He's so lovely. We have a lot of fun playing games and he likes to chase me around the field. I love him lots and he gives me kisses and cuddles. People shouldn't say he should be put down because of what he looks like, it doesn't matter to me." (via)
and she's also doing some fundraising to save his face.
