Home from work. Few quick things before I head to the Bluff City Brewers presentation at the Saucer.
There’s a new group on Facebook called “Downtown Trash Challenge.” They’re trying to get 5,000 people who work Downtown to commit to picking up one piece of trash each during the work day. Think how clean Downtown could be if the group hits its goal. They invite you to take pics of the trash you pick up, and post to the group. No item is too small to be picked up.
Hear the Memphis Symphony in a non-stuffy environment tomorrow night… leave your tie at the office and come to The Warehouse at 36 G.E. Patterson for a performance tomorrow night, Thursday, May 20. Works by Grieg, Strauss, and Tomasi, and for the second half the Symphony will be joined by special guests classical fusion group String Theory and Memphis’ own Susan Marshall. Doors at 7:30, performance at 8. Wine, beer, and laid-back snacks will be served. $25 general admission, $15 with student ID, teenagers and up only please. If you’ve never been to a show or party at The Warehouse, I cannot describe what an awesome space this is. You’ve got to see it.
If you’re planning on hitting trivia at the Silly Goose tonight, you won’t find it… they’re moving it to Thursdays at 7. Prizes from $50 gift certificates down to $10. Gonna be interesting to see how that works out, with trivia the same night as rooftop down the street.
Poker in the Underdog Room at Bardog tonight, 7:30. Free lesson at 7 if you don’t know how to play Texas Hold’em.
