The Orpheum is having an auction to benefit local artists and to fund the Orpheum’s student art program. Local artists have a chance to display and sell their work at the auction, with 75% of the proceeds doing to the artist and the other 25% to the Orpheum’s student program. The auction will be Thursday night, July 16, with a silent auction beginning at 5 PM and a live auction taking place at 7. During this time there will be happy hour drink prices and complimentary hors d’oeuvres. Free food… wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up? For more info call Kate Hackett at 529-4224 or e-mail hackett@orpheum-memphis.com.
For those whom I’ve given a date for TubeTopalooza… hold up, probably going to have to change it. I have a good friend who’s throwing another event that day, and I don’t feel right about double-booking the date, even though his event is daytime and TubeTopalooza is night. Let me talk to my co-planners and see if we can figure out some alternate arrangement.
Lots going on tonight… Mpact happy hour at Grill 83 at 6… SMA meeting at the Orpheum, social at 6 and presentation at 6:45… and of course it’s trivia night at the Saucer. Our team scored our first $50 toward our next party with a first-place victory last Tuesday… hopefully we’ll push that to $100 tonight.
