Real quick post during my lunch break…
The Power House on GE Patterson kicks off their Midnight Matinee series Friday. At 10:30 PM, Bryant Terry, author of Vegan Soul Kitchen, will discuss his film pick and serve one of the recipes from his book, a watermelon martini. His pick for the film of the week is Watermelon Man (1970), a film about suburbanite Jeff Gerber who is a fitness freak and a racist. His bigoted world of taunting and harrassing black people gets turned upside down when his skin inexpicably turns dark overnight.
The Memphis Flyer is looking for about 5 new interns to help with coordinating and marketing – researching, setting up for events, guerrila marketing on the streets, stuffing envelopes, etc. 10 hours a week, give or take, depending on what they have going on. It’s unpaid but this is great experience in the world of marketing, and you’d make some awesome connections being associated with the Flyer.
There’s a fundraiser for the radio show Beale Street Caravan July 16 at the Red Rooster, 7 to 9 PM. Music by Billy Gibson, heavy hors d’ouvres, free harmonicas, open bar. $75 general admission, $800 reserved table of eight. More info here.
Kevin & Bethany Paige on the Peabody rooftop tonight. Hmmm… either I deleted the Madison Hotel’s e-mail or never received it, so no idea who’s playing there this week. My recommendation for post-rooftop would be Snozberry at the Saucer, 9:30 PM start time, $3 cover. The Rooster is always a good post-rooftop spot too.
Busy day… gotta get back to work. I’ll be on the Peabody rooftop tonight. Hope the riff-raff that have been there the past couple of times I’ve been (King Willie, Meghan) don’t show up.
