When I lived in Midtown Memphis during the late 80's, my favorite watering hole was Zinnie's. It was in staggering distance of my apartment and a great place to hang out.
But I moved on... and so did Zinnie's.
My trek has brought me to the World Headquarters of the Carl Lee Bledsoe Website, located in a high tech underground basement lair north of Memphis.
Zinnie's? Well, they were able to move on too, half of a block eastward. Baby steps, but bless their hearts for the effort, because that's where Carl liked to hang out.
I've been there with him a time or three.
He loved Zinnie's East, and he loved the people there, so I am proud to announce:
A special gathering of Carl's friends will be held at Zinnie's East on Thursday, the 25th of October, starting at 5:00 pm until ?.

Rumor has it that Budweiser will be there doing a beer promotion. So, in his own way, Carl has managed to buy a last round of drinks for his friends, while not spending a dollar.
Well played Carl- so thanks in advance for the beer- and for being my friend.
