Thur update: Win a pair of running shoes, meatball eating contest, Ingram Hill headlines the Peabody, win Mary Poppins tickets @ Green Beetle, Elvis Week events

Runners: The Breakway-Bardog 5k is only three days away. Have you registered yet? Proceeds benefit St. Jude so it’s for an awesome cause. Today and tomorrow, race organizers will draw a random person registered to win a pair of Brooks Running shoes from Breakway Running.

As of this morning, Bardog only has two people signed up for the meatball eating contest that will take place at the alley party following the 5K. If you want to sign up, give the bar a call.

Tonight is the final Peabody Thursday evening rooftop party of the season. Ingram Hill is the headline act, with special guest Christian Seay. $15 cover, with ladies and hotel guests free until 7 PM. Admission includes a buffet of egg rolls with sweet & sour sauce and hot Chinese mustard and pork fried rice. If you’re in VIP there’s a second buffet of coconut shrimp, baked brie, beef Wellingtons, hummus and pita chips.

There’s Disney trivia at the Green Beetle tonight at 8. Winner gets tickets to see Mary Poppins at Playhouse on the Square.

There are a couple of Elvis Week events happening Downtown today. Todd Martin’s Elvis Show is at Wet Willie’s at 4. Elvis and Call-a-Cabs, can’t beat that! At 7 the finals of the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest get under way at the Orpheum.

Taking another 4-day weekend with both Friday and Monday off. I’ll kick off the weekend at the Silly Goose a few hours from now.
