The Peabody and its four Lansky stores are running a contest and there are lots of prizes to win. To enter, you have to go here between now and December 16 at 2 PM. You have to do four things:
- “Like” the Peabody Ducks on Facebook
- “Like” Lansky 126 on Facebook
- Give your first and last name
- Give your email address
Prizes include a one-night stay in a Peabody Suite (on a night between December 17 and 29), a pair of TOMS shoes from Lansky 126, a Peabody Duck tie and cufflinks from Lansky at the Peabody, a Vera Bradley tote from Lansky Lucky Duck, and Dinstuhl’s candies from Lansky’s Newsstand.
If you go to the Peabody, don’t forget about their 25% off Foursquare checkin special at Capriccio Grill (excludes alcohol, tax and tip, $25 maxmium savings). They tell me that if it goes well, they’ll consider doing other specials – perhaps a mayor’s special at the restaurant, or a checkin special at Corner Bar.
I heard about a couple of Downtown tourism marketing jobs that I wanted to pass on. The first is a Graphic Designer position with the Great American Steamboat Company. This is the company that will bring overnight riverboat cruises back to Memphis, docking at the soon-to-be-finished Beale Street Landing. They recently acquired office space in the Downtown core. They’re looking for someone with web design and online marketing skills, in addition to graphic design.
There’s also an online content and PR specialist position open with a travel/tourism firm. If you want to get into tourism marketing, including social media and mobile apps, this sounds like a good job for which to apply.
The Fuzzy Brew blog has a good article on the Flying Saucer’s beer and dessert pairing Thursday night. Five beers, each paired with a dessert, and speaker Will Mestayer from Lazy Magnolia brewery.
Another chance of snow in the forecast tonight. MemphisWeather.net’s blog has the details. Just a dusting in the early AM, with temperature likely to stay 33 or higher. Dammit snow if you’re not going to fall in amounts/temperatures that will close office buildings, don’t bother!
On my way to the Saucer for a beer. (Edit: Oops, I posted we have a home game vs. Miami. It’s actually AT Miami.)
