Mon update: Winter weather, Mathews to lead Emerge, Silly Goose V-Day party, MDQ cast to perform for free at Rock’n’Soul Museum

The updated MemphisWeather.net blog indicates that the drive home this afternoon could be messy. Sleet and snow are due to move in, with possible accumulation 3-9 PM. It’s already been sleeting in Horn Lake where I work. I’m hearing reports of sleet and snow Downtown too.

Congratulations to SeedHatchery founder Eric Mathews, who has been chosen as interim executive director of EmergeMemphis. A fine choice indeed. I met with Eric in November and got a fuller understanding of how the different pieces fit together to support entrepreneurial culture in this city – SeedHatchery, LaunchMemphis, the LaunchPad, EmergeMemphis. Eric is extremely passionate about what he does, and is an ideal choice to lead the small business incubator on Tennessee Street. Read more about Eric in this MBJ article.

The Silly Goose is having a Cupid’s Rejects party tomorrow night. DJ Cody will perform, and there will be a $3 martini menu for single ladies. Starts at 9 PM.

The cast of Million Dollar Quartet will perform at least 7 songs from their show tomorrow afternoon at the Rock & Soul Museum at 1:30 PM. Free to the public, and guests will also get free admission into the museum. The show will run tomorrow through the 19th at the Orpheum. More info here.

Plans for tonight: Pint Nite at the Flying Saucer at 6 (or later, depending on how long the drive home takes), poker at the Silly Goose at 7:30.
