Friday update

Lots of stuff today. Too tired to list it all in the title, stayed out late last night.

A Memphis hip-hop unification summit kicks off at the Center for Southern Folklore tonight. Entitled “Mic Check,” tonight’s event features a mixer from 7 to 8:30, then a unity panel and Q&A session, and after than an artist showcase. On Saturday the event moves to Young Avenue Deli, and Sunday it continues at Murphy’s. All-access passes to the entire weekend can be purchased at the Center for Southern Folklore tonight.

The Metal Museum is offering free admission tomorrow, Saturday, January 15, in celebration of the inauguration of Governor-Elect Haslam. Hours are 10 AM to 5 PM.

A very cool sports job is open: Community Relations Manager for the Memphis Redbirds and AutoZone Park. Requires a Bachelor’s degree and 1-3 years marketing experience.

Downtown Memphis restaurants in the blogosphere: Eat Local Memphis blogged about Cozy Corner, and Kerry from I Love Memphis dined at Itta Bena.

No, your zodiac sign hasn’t changed. Here’s why. Still a Scorpio and proud of it.

My blog readers who went to Bama may want to check this out: The school just digitized all previous issues of Rammer Jammer, its humor and literary magazine, and put them on the web.

Kinda cool dept: Wednesday I tweeted that I dreamed I was a freshman moving into the dorm at the University of Arkansas, and hashtagged it #gooddream and #WPS (Woooo Pig Sooieee). It got retweeted by the @uarkansas Twitter account!

Time to go eat some Mexican for lunch. No idea what I’ll be getting into tonight. May just rest up for Winter Warmer tomorrow.
