Got a lot to post about today, but let’s go ahead and start with the important stuff – what to do tonight? There’s a lot to choose from.
The biggest thing going on tonight is the first Grizzlies home game of the season! The Memphis Grizzlies play the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight in a pre-season game in the FedExForum at 7 PM. Get tickets here.
Tonight is also the Makeshift Music Alley Party in Gayoso Alley, part of the Alley Jams concert series. Two Way Radio, Paul Taylor, Pezz. Food, beer and wine vendors. I had to miss last week’s Alley Jam and heard it was a lot of fun. This week I’ll be there. Gayoso Alley runs north from Peabody Place between Front and Main. Music starts around 6 I believe.
It’s also “Buy the Beer, Keep the Glass” night at the Flying Saucer. This week is the John Lennon glass, and they’re doing a take-off of the photo of him in the “New York City” shirt from the early ’70s. Glasses go on sale at 7 and will probably run out quickly. If you plan on attending both the Gayoso Alley concert and glass night, I recommend you walk over to the Saucer about 6:50.
Pint Nite at South of Beale – all their pints $3. Also, today is the unveiling of their new menu.
Poker night in the Underdog Room at Bardog Tavern. Poker tournament with real tables and chips, increasing blind structure, the real deal. Once Alley Jam season is over, I’m going to hit the tables at Bardog on Wednesday nights, so watch out.
I have a couple more posts saved in Drafts that are scheduled to post at various times this afternoon. Check back.
