Lunchtime post is a couple of hours early today, because my afternoon is filled up with meetings.
If you want to hear some good music tonight, it’s the Folk Alliance Conference’s Public Night at the Marriott. The Flyer has details here.
Last night at the Saucer, I met the new owners of A. Schwab’s, and learned that the store on Beale is now open Sundays. Previously it was always closed that day. I hope to get in there soon and see the renovations and possibly take some pics.
There’s a new record label and studio Downtown. Madison Line Records, the new not-for-profit label, will celebrate with a party Thursday, March 1, at the Visible Music School at 200 Madison. The party will showcase its six artists: Until June, Cayerio & Speakerboxx, J&R, Jo, She Said and Visible Worship Band.
Also that night, the Madison Line Cafe will celebrate its grand opening at the label’s studio and HQ at 287 Madison. Live music by Charveymac, and tours of the studio and corporate offices. Both events start at 7:27 PM.
Friday night is South Main Trolley Tour. Seems like it snuck up on everyone this month, but it will be happening. I haven’t been in a few months, but I hope to get down there and see how things are coming along at Double J SmokeHouse and Saloon.
Today is the start of Lent. Wendy Eats has a list of places to eat during Lent, several of which are Downtown. Also, Elliott’s restaurant has announced they will add tuna salad to the menu during Lent.
Tigers host ECU at the FedExForum tonight at 7. We can’t afford a loss after what happened with the UTEP game Saturday. Prior to UTEP we really didn’t have what the NCAA tournament committee would call a “bad loss.”
Got to hang out with a couple of my BBQ teammates last night at the Saucer, one of whom won the Fat Tire bike. Congrats to him!
All right, time to grab a quick burger then get ready for meetings. I may do another post tonight if more news comes by way.
