Blogging > Blogger Night This Tuesday at Ray's ESG in Knoxville

Free appetizers and happy hour priced drinks for bloggers. And there's a tiki bar, so maybe that will bring out Swanky. They're considering making blogger's night a regular event.

Ray's is near West Town Mall in the former Kingston Alley, which is next to the little stripmall with Cat's Records. Complete press release after the jump.
