More news: SOL bartender Josh on the radio, Pink Pig attire deal for BBQ Fest teams, John Bragg cooking demo

If you’re looking to move Downtown, don’t miss my previous post that I just put up a few minutes ago, containing a coupon for a month’s free rent at Number 10 Main.  Meanwhile, here are a few more news items:

Attn Sleep Out Louie’s alumni: Our buddy/former bartender Josh will do the color commentary for tonight’s Memphis vs. UT Martin baseball game on the UT Martin radio station. Game starts at 5 and you can listen to it here.

Shelton Clothiers has a deal for BBQ Fest teams: Buy 12 or more Pink Pig polos, and get them for $39.50 each (they’re normally $49.50) and they will embroider your team name on the shirts for free. Pink Pig polos are high-quality shirts that look like Izods except with a pig rather than an alligator. These are nice shirts that look good enough to wear to work as well as to BBQ Fest.

If you’re a fan of Circa chef John Bragg, you have an opportunity to take a class from him. (Edit: I’d originally typed “take a learn from him.”  Blue Moon on Fire Sale last night really scrambled my brain.)  From 6:30 to 9 PM on Thursday, May 7 he’ll do a demo at Viking Cooking School at 1215 Ridgeway. It will feature summer cuisine using fresh local fare and items from the Memphis Farmers Market. Space is limited, so call (901)763-3747 to sign up.

More and more I’m thinking I’m going to skip the Dempseys show tomorrow at the Madison.  I’ll have plenty of future opportunities to see them.  Most likely I’ll start at the Goose or Saucer, then head to the Peabody rooftop.

As for tonight, not sure where I’ll go, but it’s far too nice out to stay home.
