Friday evening update: Locate stories and poems, hot dog vendor, strapless bikinis at Tube Top Boutique, Cats contest

Came across an interesting site today… have you ever tried to locate a story, or poem, or novel, but you didn’t know its title or author? Maybe you only knew its plotline, or a line from a poem, or a memorable quote. Well, the Library of Congress has a site that will help you find the author and title based on those kinds of searches. Check it out here.

In yesterday’s lunchtime post, I talked about a vendor in Court Square who sells really good hot dogs and Polish sausages. Well, it turns out Memphis Limelight had a post in the works about the same vendor, and it’s now up and she provides a lot more information than my post did. Not only does the guy sell hot dogs, but he’s also an artist with a gallery on South Main.

Last week, I had several females request that I add a strapless bikini top section to the Tube Top Boutique online store. “Women who wear tube tops don’t want tan lines showing,” they told me, “so we need to tan in strapless bathing suits. Also, strapless bikinis offer greater coverage than strapped ones usually do, so a lot of women like them for that reason.” Let it never be said that I don’t listen to my readers. The strapless bikini section has now been added to the store.

If you’re interested in Cats the musical, the Orpheum is running a contest where you can win 4 tickets to the Friday, June 20 opening performance.  “Especially good for families,” the theater points out.  Check out the Orpheum’s blog for details on how to enter.

All right, time to head out… may poke my head in the Saucer, but Itta Bena, the Red Rooster, and next-to-last-night at McGuinness are more likely to be on my agenda.
