Thur update: Peabody rooftop, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Tacos & Tunes, Uptown BBQ contest, best robot ever, Purple Rain viewing in Court Square, Memphis Jams on Beale

Lots going on Downtown tonight. The weekly rooftop party happens at the Peabody, with Seeing Red providing the live music. $10 to get in, with ladies free until 7. Doors open at 6.

The Orpheum will show Breakfast at Tiffany’s starring Audrey Hepburn on the big screen at 7. This is part of the summer movie series.

Meanwhile, over on Felicia Suzanne’s patio, there will be “Tacos & Tunes” from 7 to 10 tonight. Come down for fiesta specials & a performance by Jeremy Stanfill & Josh Cosby. Any lady who invites me to this and tells me it’s “tacos, tunes, and tube tops on the patio” would be someone I would consider marriage material.

The 6th Annual Uptown BBQ Cooking Contest happens this Saturday, June 7, in Uptown Park at Greenlaw and Uptown Streets. Prizes for best overall, best in pork, anything but, and best display for those who can’t cook but can decorate a tent. There will be celebrity judges and free hot dogs for all.
