Stuff people asked me to post

Got a bunch of “will you mention this on your blog?” stuff in my Inbox.  Let’s clean it out:

The South Main Association will hold its next meeting Tuesday, September 9 at the Westin on Lt. Lee Avenue one block south of Beale.  Meeting starts at 6 PM and there will be complimentary food and booze for members ($5 non-members).  Pat Kerr Tigrett will speak on the upcoming 15th anniversary Blues Ball and what this charitable event means to the city.  There will also be info about an Oktoberfest event for SMA members, to be held Sept. 21.

AIGA will have their Thursty Happy Hour at the Majestic Grille next Thursday, September 11.  AIGA provides a chance to meet, greet, and collaborate with creative professionals from across the Mid-South.  Thursty Thursdays are a monthly networking event to bring in-house, boutique, agency, entrepreneurs, and students together.  Though geared to the design community, the public is welcome.  They’ll be on the mezzanine of the Majestic at 5:30 PM and will be displaying the Graphis 2007 Annual Reports show.  Complimentary appetizers provided by Patterson Graham Design Group.
