Big concert at AutoZone Park this evening. Bob Dylan, WILCO, My Morning Jacket, and the Richard Thompson Electric Trio will play starting at 5:30. In case you didn’t see it, I did a rare second Monday Update post last night in which I pointed out that you can park for free in South Main and ride the Double J limo to and from the concert.
If you’re looking for something to do pre-concert, Shelby County residents can visit The Rock N’ Soul Museum Tuesdays from 2 until close.
Couple of good food articles on the Flyer site today, including one place I didn’t even know about. “The Office” Uptown Cafe at 594 N. Second is open from 10 AM to 3 PM weekdays. It serves sandwiches and salads. It also has “office” resources such as computers, scanners, a meeting room, and copiers.
The Flyer also has a Nighttime Nosh article. It has info on the late-night menu at Flight, and what is happening at Twelve Bar, the upstairs room in Jerry Lee Lewis Honky Tonk and Cafe.
The Cochon 555 heritage pork festival is coming back to Downtown August 30.
If you’re looking for a job, there are a bunch of openings listed on the Greater Memphis Chamber site.
There will be a Rock N’ Wild pizza party Saturday, July 27 from 5 to 8 PM at the Memphis Farmers’ Market. Food from the Rock N’ Dough Pizza food truck, and Castello Monaci Wines by Frederick Wildman Imports. $25 gets you slices of pizza and four wine tickets.
The Downtown Memphis Commission has updated its strategic plan for Downtown. You can view it here.
Plans for tonight: Although it’s a great night for music and tube top watching in Downtown Memphis, I’m going to miss the concert. Tonight is the final table in Blind Bear’s poker league, and all the participants are friends of mine. (At least two of them have concert tickets. Wonder what they’re going to do?) Final table starts at 8, and I’ll be there a little early to get a good seat and cheer them on. I think they’re having a side game too, but I’m more interested in watching my friends.
