On Saturday, May 22 at 6:30 PM, Memphis Farmers Market and Grill 83 will be grilling out on the Madison Hotel rooftop. Awesome local food, Ghost River beer, and live music. Call 901-333-1224 for reservations.
In the news: Four police officers were hurt in a brawl involving more than 100 people outside the Plush Club. Seriously, when is the attorney general’s office going to get around to shutting that place down as a nuisance? It may not be part of the Beale entertainment district proper, but it’s right across the street. Tourists see it and it’s scary. It’s a detriment to the end of the Beale entertainment district between Rufus Thomas and Fourth, which is a shame because that area is getting a boost with three recent business openings. Click the link to read the CA article listing all the acts of violence that have occurred there. Personally, I’d like to see 380 Beale turned into a parking lot.
Just saw this on Twitter: George Clinton and P-Funk in Handy Park on June 18.
This week in Court Square for the Downtown Alive! series: Trump Tight on Tuesday; performances by Hattiloo Theatre on Thursday; Barbara Blue and Deering & Down on Friday.
It’s Monday and I’m off work, but I’ve got a busy day ahead of me taking care of BBQ team business. First of all, I have to represent the team at Pint Nite at the Saucer, which starts at 11 AM. Furthermore, I have to be the Ques Brothers representative at one of the poker games at the Silly Goose. I doubt I’ll be done with my Pint Nite duties by 7:30 PM, so it’ll probably have to be the later 11:30 game. I hope Brick is working tonight.
Lastly but not leastly, here are a few pics I snapped yesterday.
Breakfast at Cockadoos yesterday morning: Cat head biscuits and gravy and country ham
Yesterday at Calhoun’s, Joe managed to accomplish a feat I’ve never been able to: He finished 16 of their Habanero Wings.
Harmony had on a cool PBR shirt
Coming up on 10 AM, so I’ve got about an hour to get things done around the apartment before it’s time to head to the Saucer. Need to figure out where I’m going to eat lunch too – will probably wait until about 1 to do that to give the lunch hour rush time to disperse. I may blog from my iPhone this afternoon, so check back.
