Second Tue update: Flyer night at Bardog, new digs for MPACT, Shelton Clothiers

Looks like the Memphis Flyer is moving their “Work It Wednesday” happy hour around… and (edit: I had the date wrong, it’s August 5) it will be at Bardog Tavern! Good choice! The specials: $1 off wines by the glass, beer on tap, and house liquor; $1.50 PBR; $1.50 single slider burgers. Happy hour is from 5 to 7.

At last Wednesday’s “Work It Wednesday” at the Silly Goose, I ran into MPACT Memphis Executive Director Gwyn Fisher, who gave me some exciting news that I wasn’t allowed to blog at the time, but now can. After 8 years, MPACT is getting their own space! They spent their first four years in the Emerge Memphis incubator, followed by 4 years sharing a tiny space in the Falls Building. Now, however, they have a space of their own at 506 South Main. On July 31 for Trolley Tour night, they will celebrate with a big party beginning at 6 PM. Live music, art, food, and a drink called the “MPACTini.” Free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.

I’m wearing my Pink Pig T-shirt from Shelton Clothiers today. I’ve seen a lot people wearing them this week… they’re really becoming a fashion trend Downtown. Shelton, by the way, is having a Made to Measure suit sale ($100 off) through August 15.

Time to head to trivia. Hopefully the pink pig shirt will bring me good luck.
