Trivia returns to the Flying Saucer tonight after a week’s absence for election night. Needless to say, the Rapscallions will be there, looking to continue their pattern of dominance. I noticed that flyers on the tables listed 7:30 as the start time. Not sure if that’s a typo, because it’s always started at 7:00 in the past. If you plan on playing tonight, it’s probably a good idea to have at least some of your team there by 7.
Tonight’s also the South Main Association meeting at Jay Etkin Gallery (6:00), with info about Downtown’s new dumpster initiative. Since I’ve missed trivia two weeks in a row (the week before the election, we had a birthday party for Mikey), I’m going to skip the SMA meeting this month and get my trivia fix for the full 3 rounds.
For MPACT Memphis members, there are a couple of good events coming up this week. Tomorrow night, Wednesday, November 12, there will be a happy hour at Mollie Fontaine Lounge, the former Cielo in Victorian Village at 679 Adams at 6 PM. I haven’t seen the place since it was converted to Mollie’s, and I’ve been meaning to do more MPACT stuff since I re-joined, so I’m going to try and make it to this one. Too far to walk, but just the right distance for me to ride my bike up there, if it’s not raining.
The following night, Thursday, November 13, MPACT is having a holiday wine tasting at Memphis Heritage at 7 PM. It’s $15 for members, $25 for non-members. An expert speaker will discuss holiday wines and how to pair them with foods (to save the Nuh-Uh Girl the trouble of e-mailing me, no, I don’t know what kind of food they’re going to have). If you join that night, you can have the admission fee applied against dues.
All right! Time for me to get busy. I’ve come up with 5 new ideas for websites, and I’ve also uncovered an additional way to make money as I work online that I’ll share in a few days.
