Tuesday: The usual trivia night at the Flying Saucer, of course, but it’s also Fat Tuesday, which means I’ll be easily convinced to stay out afterward and celebrate. One of this blog’s regular readers has indicated that she might flash me if I bring her beads.
Thursday: Lantana Projects is hosting an event at the Fogleman Center at the University of Memphis. Lantana brings international artists to Memphis to do residencies, and their current artist-in-residence, Barbara Bickart, will be giving a lecture in room 123 at 6:30 PM, talking about her inspirations and plans for upcoming projects in Memphis. After the lecture there will be a reception for her at RP Billiards on Highland, which should get started around 8:00. Come on by for one or both; Lantana brings something new and different to Memphis, and deserves support.
Friday: I’ll be stopping by Sleep Out Louie’s for Bobby Durango, Smokin’ Lemon, and Crash Kole. Smokin’ Lemon: “We’re going to rock it out Friday night.” After their first set I’ll head down to South Main for Trolley Tour and a friend’s party. I hear it’s going to be 73 Friday; time to break out the summer clothes.
Saturday: Sleep Out’s final night with a performance by Pam & Terry. Wouldn’t be anywhere else. I had earlier posted that I might head out to East Bumblefuck to catch the Dempseys at Mulligan’s 64; obviously those plans have been changed now that I know it will be my last chance to hang out at SOL.
Sunday: Sunday brunch, The Next Generation. Looks like most of the brunch crew has agreed upon The Majestic Grille as our spot, at least for a while. Their new brunch menu isn’t on their site but you can view it here. Come on by and join us. Early risers: Keep in mind that the Majestic opens at 11, not 10:30 like Sleep Out’s did.
Not sure what I’ll do tonight and Wednesday… I probably ought to stay home, as I have plenty of projects I need to work on.
A lot of people have Presidents’ Day off but I’m not among them… back to the cubicle for an exciting afternoon of SQL Server stored procedures.
