We have ourselves another busy night in Downtown Memphis. I already blogged about the showing of Purple Rain in Court Square (8:15, food trucks at 6) and the free concert in Handy Park (6:30). The biggest event tonight, though, is Bruno Mars at the FedExForum at 8:00 tonight. Over at the Orpheum, they’ll be showing National Lampoon’s Vacation tonight at 7. Get there early for pre-show activities and themed cocktails.
Tickets for Penn & Teller at the Orpheum went on sale today. They’ll be here September 19.
Memphis Made Brewing Co. is having a tapping party for Lucid Kolsch, a sessionable German golden ale tonight at 6. They first 24 people to order pints of Lucid will get a free pint glass. Be prepared to answer Kolsch-related trivia questions if you want a shirt.
