Weekend Review: Costumes, football and more football
Friday night started out the #10 Main Street party. I had a good time dressed up as a redneck trucker. The beer was flowing nicely and I even danced a little. NL looked great in her country bumpkin costume. I'll post pictures as I receive them.
After the party we stopped at the Blue Monkey in Midtown for a couple of beers. There were only a handful of people dressed up at the Monkey, so we received a few glares and a couple of laughs. A female at the bar thought my redneck greasy hair was real. She questioned NL about it and I had to remove my hat to show her it was wig.
Saturday was spent watching football. It was good to USC lose to Oregon State, unfortunately is was bad to see Southern Miss lose to East Carolina. In a series that has historically been dominated by USM, ECU held the Golden Eagles to less than 200 yards of total offense. USM hasn't looked good all year, yet they have a 4-4 record. Go figure.
This week USM takes on Memphis on Sunday at the Liberty Bowl. The game will be televised by one of the ESPN networks. Memphis has won 2 in a row against Southern Miss and has taken 3 out of the last 4. USM needs to win this game. If not, Bower should be fired.

Awww Snap!: A Memphis Radio Format Change
After a weekend of airing a non-stop countdown, Entercom has changed 94.1 The Buzz to Snap! 94.1 The Rhythm of Memphis. According to the new website, the station will play hits from artists like Beyonce, The Bee Gees, and Barry White.
A format change was expected due to Entercom's agreement to buy WMC-FM (99.7) from CBS Radio. The Buzz and FM100 had similar formats and were competing for the same advertisers and audience. This also gets Entercom into the Memphis urban radio segment, long dominated by Clear Channel owned stations.
I give it 18 months.

Halloween Weekend Fun
For the first time in a long while, I've decided to dress up this year. Going along with NL's trashy girl ensemble, I'll be a redneck trucker. I might even sport a mustache for this special occasion. We'll be heading to a party at #10 Main Street this evening and possibly replicating the costumes tomorrow night at various locations in Memphis. Heck, I might even bust out the trucker gear on Tuesday too. I'll post pictures as they become available.
Before the big fun gets started tomorrow night, East Carolina takes on Southern Miss at 6:30pm on CSTV. ECU is 0-5 in the last five meetings against USM. Lets hope the streak continues.
Last note: What the hell is a manatee doing in Memphis? It must have picked up the heavy fish smell from a certain establishment on Mt. Moriah.
Boat drinks!

Something I don't want for Christmas
Is it just me or is it a problem when people are paying $20 or more for bottled water? I couldn't imagine paying this much for Dasani or Aquafina. Apparently a new company has found people that are willing to shell out at least a Jefferson to buy something you can get for free. Bling H20 is now selling designer bottled water for $20.00 (375ml bottle) and $34.95 for a (750ml package - about the size of wine bottle). Apparently the bottles are "limited edition, corked 750ml recyclable frosted glass bottles, exquisitely handcrafted with Swarovski crystals."
What will they think of next?
