MemphiSport has published a complete list of Grizzlies giveaways for the 2013-14 season. Probably the best giveaway is the March 8 game versus the Charlotte Bobcats, when fans will receive a free Super Grizz cape with matching mask. I wonder if they plan the best giveaways when the teams that suck the most come to the FedExForum, to try and boost ticket sales?
I got an update from Kevin Cerrito who runs some of the Downtown trivia games. He said that Tuesday trivia at Ferraro’s has come to an end after a two and a half year run. The Wednesday game at Tamp & Tap and the Thursday game at Green Beetle are still going strong. There’s a different $3.50 pint every week at the Tamp & Tap game, and at the Beetle there’s football on TV with sound between rounds. It’s movie trivia all month long at both games, leading up to the second annual Halloween trivia at the end of the month.
There’s a free showing of Walk the Line tonight in the vacant lot between Earnestine & Hazel’s and Sache. The film is a 2005 documentary of the life of Johnny Cash. It’s presented by the SMA and show time is 6:45. In case of rain, the event will move to the Memphis Farmers Market pavilion.
If you haven’t been to the weekend Beatles brunch at Twilight Sky Terrace atop the Madison Hotel, you only have until the end of the month. They will be closing it down for the season on October 27.
An inmate walked off from work detail at MATA’s woodworking shop at 547 N. Main. Details here.
That’s it for now. I’ll probably hit the Silly Goose after work, then the Blind Bear. Will do a second Thursday post if more news comes my way.
