When I did my last post, I looked at my blog’s administrative dashboard for a moment, where there are recent search terms that led visitors to my blog. Someone searched for “christian inspirational message for women’s meeting in june.” HUH??? Is that what they’re calling Tube Top Month these days?
By the way, I am debating whether or not to bring back Tube Top Month for an 11th year. I don’t know, I will see how I feel after BBQ Fest, but I am at least considering not doing it. It will begin May 22 if it does come back.
Papa Murphy’s, the world’s leading take ‘n’ bake pizza franchise, has signed on as a sponsor for BBQ Fest. To celebrate National Pizza Day on May 15, Papa Murphy’s will be handing out free samples of its new BBQ pizzas during the days BBQ Fest is open to the public, May 14-16. There are three different pizzas, made with chicken, angus steak, and pork sausage. Free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.
I heard from someone who was at the Tennessee Brewery last weekend that they are now selling big beers, twice the size of regular beers, for $10. If you want to go back to the bar half as often, there you go.
I got my BBQ team bag last night. The bags are at Cafe Keough for pickup (must show ID), but when you’re “Mr. Load-in” you get your bag hand-delivered because team leaders want you to conserve your energy for the build. Here’s the 2015 Moody Ques soccer jersey, front and back.
Already had a Polish princess ask if we have an extra shirt in size small. I don’t think we ordered a lot of extras but I will see what I can do.
Mud Island news: A boardwalk is planned for the Wolf River harbor.
On May 8, 1985, Rum Boogie Cafe opened, one of the first clubs to spark the rebirth of Beale. Friday they are having a 30th anniversary celebration.
I want to mention another of the Start Co. 2015 accelerator class that pitched to me Monday night. MLS My Nest offers two ways to sell your home for a flat fee, avoiding the 6-7% commissions that real estate agents usually take. You can get representation from an agent, or represent yourself but still be listed in MLS. Great concept and I have to mention that they think I’m the coolest blogger in Memphis (they’re right).
By the way, Eric and Andre from Start Co., if you’re reading this – give MLS My Nest a gold star. Of the companies that pitched me Monday night, they were the only one to follow up with an email.
Time for a run to Target then back to work. Two and a half more days until BBQ Fest. Out at the usual places after work.
