Friday night there will be a Party for the Cure at Rehab Disco. DJs will include MatthewEss, Scotty B, and Yo! Santos. $7 cover at the door, and funds raised will go toward the funding of Ashley Davis and Angela Ladner’s participation in the San Francisco Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure. Over the course of 3 days, Davis and Ladner will walk 60 miles in support for awareness and fundraising for breast cancer research. Without a cure, one person will die from breast cancer every 13 minutes in the U.S. Party kicks off at 9 PM.
Also on Friday, there will be a Farm to Fork dinner on the rooftop of the Madison Hotel. The dinner menu will include items such as Black Angus beef from Neola Farms, seafood from Paradise Seafood and chicken from West Wind Farms, as well as fresh produce from Tims Family Farm, Ly Vu Family Farms, Mai Home Grown Produce and Fletcher Farm – all accompanied by locally brewed beer from Ghost River Brewery. The meal will conclude with decadent desserts made with peaches from Jones Orchard and honey from Peace Bee Farm. $55 excluding tax and gratuity. This is a fundraiser for Memphis Farmers Market, and 30% of the proceeds will be donated to the market. You can RSVP on their Facebook event page.
I mentioned that the Peabody gives out goodies to people who pay attention to Twitter during rooftop parties. Last Thursday they offered two free drink tickets to the first person to come to the VIP table, flap their arms, and start quacking like a duck. Who was the first to do it? See the video on Otto’s blog. Hint: It’s the same person who usually comes running anytime there’s free stuff.
That’s all I got. Slow news day. Plans for tonight: Pint Nite at the Saucer (should arrive about 6) with almost all drafts only $3. Then I’ll move over to the Silly Goose for poker with Poker Jon and Brick. Maybe Brick will wear a tube top tonight. She’s in for a double dose of harassment at the poker table, as I will likely be joined by Hurricane Zane. With three poker tournament wins under my belt from the weekend, I’m in the mood to extend my streak. Poker starts at 10 PM. You gotta be kind of a bad a$$ to attend a poker night that starts at 10 when you work the next morning, but some of us are and some of us aren’t…
