Hari’s, the restaurant on Main that serves Indian food, burgers and more, was reviewed in the Commercial Appeal. I need to check that place out this weekend. I love Indian food, and am not afraid of extra spice.
Ferraro’s Pizzeria & Pub has announced that they will show UFC 116 tonight on two big screens. Lesnar vs. Carwin… that’s gonna be a good fight. As a pro wrestling fan, I guess I have to root for Brock in this one.
The Orpheum is inviting the public to a “Stage Door Soiree” on Thursday, July 8. For $25 you get to go backstage for a tour. You also get food from the Majestic Grille, Ghost River beer, and entertainment by DJ Witnesse. Call 901-525-3000 for tickets.
Also, on the 8th, the Flying Saucer has announced that Tom Schlafly of Schlafly brewery will be at the bar at 6 PM. If you’re into beer, this is a good chance to come talk to an expert.
Speaking of the Saucer… last week I mentioned that there’s a “Ghetto Rides of Memphis” Facebook group, where people take pics of ghetto cars with the big rims, lime green paint, etc. and upload them. Sunday afternoon/evening, the window seats at the Saucer are likely to offer you lots of ghetto ride photo opportunities. The windows facing Second are probably the best but you really can’t go wrong with any window seat.
Tuesday the 13th is the day of the next SMA meeting. It will be at Muse at 517 S. Main, with featured speaker John Moore, the president and CEO of the Greater Memphis Chamber. Social at 6, meeting at 6:30. Cash bar, and complimentary hors d’oeuvres provided by Beignet Cafe. Free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.
Fun night last night… started with a couple of Labatt Blues at Kooky Canuck for their Canada Day celebration. Then I headed to the Peabody rooftop, where Lauren and Ashley waved our group up front to dance to Aquanet. Lauren unfortunately wasn’t wearing the tube top dress I photographed her in earlier in the week. After rocking out to Poison’s “Unskinny Bop” and Warrant’s “Cherry Pie,” I walked over to Bardog, where a friend tried to convince me that Poland is the new Romania.
Starting to see “office closing early, weekend has started” tweets from friends… think I may have to shut down Twitter for the afternoon so I don’t have to see those. At least, once 5 PM gets here, I’ll have a super-sized four-day weekend to look forward to…
