I’ve learned of a couple of very cool Grizzlies events coming up within the next month, and wanted to pass along the info. First up is the Grizz Gala at the Gold Strike in Tunica, this Saturday, January 23. At this “blue tie” event you can mingle with Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol, Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo, and the other Grizzlies stars. Doors open at 6, and from 7 to 11 there will be an open bar, food stations, a silent auction, and interactive games. Tickets are $125 for a single, and they have ticket packages too. Click here to view more information.
The Grizzlies are also running a Valentine’s Day promotion – a gift basket, 2 tickets to an upcoming game, and one night’s stay at Harrah’s Tunica. The best part of the deal, though, is quality time with the mascot Grizz, who will hand-deliver your basket. More information here.
In other news, Backbeat Memphis has launched their new website. Check it out here.
Apologies to the Goose for doing a quick in-and-out last night at their birthday party… it was threatening rain and I figured I’d better get home. Good thing too… three minutes after I walked in the door, it was raining buckets.
I’m trying to get Brick to download the Words with Friends app for the iPhone and play a game with me. She claims to be good at Scrabble, but don’t you have to know a lot of words to do well at that game? I did give Brick a sincere compliment last night, though… she’s very good at the “wearing a skirt” thing and should serve as an example when they train new girls.
Debating whether to stay home and play poker tonight, or go to the International Blues Challenge on Beale Street.
