The game was fun until I was frozen completely, and then I was just miserable. I was too cold to operate a camera, so Kati will have to email me some pics from the game (hint hint). The highlights of the weekend for me were definitely BBQ at Rendevous, eating at Big Foot and the paratroopers dropping into the Liberty Bowl!!
We had NYE dinner at Automatic Slim's downtown in Memphis. The service was super slow, but we had a good time. Afterwards we walked to Beale street to watch the guitar drop. Oh my, people watching at it's best! We made some friends from East Carolina and made a bee-line out of there after the guitar dropped. It helped that I had a Memphis police officer in full SWAT team attire following behind me walking out. People seemed to move out of the way for him. And I was just trying to keep moving as to not be in his way. HAHA. We then went to one of my other FAVE Memphis places...Big Foot...or as they call it now, the Kooky Kanuck. They had music and fried pickles. What more do you need? (We visited Big Foot several more times over the weekend for S'mores and giant chocolate chip cookies!)
While at Rendevous we had one of the oldest waiters, I say that because many of them have been there FOREVER. He told us how long he had worked there and it was something like 40 years. Serving BBQ for 40 years!! No wonder he doesn't write anything down when he takes an order. When I asked for a side that didn't come with my meal I though he seriously might kick me out. But he was charming, in an old and crazy way.
