Congratulations to my neighbors who tied the knot yesterday evening. I am so happy for you and so lucky to be friends with both of you.
Awesome term I saw on Twitter this morning: “poser trolley.” I guess this is in reference to the rubber-wheeled trolleys that will replace the Main Street green buses in September. Credit @nickthenewsguy. So I guess Friday, September 26 will be the debut of South Main Poser Trolley Night.
Star and Micey make their debut at the Peabody rooftop party this evening, along with Tyrannosaurus Chicken. $10 cover, ladies free until 7. Admission fee includes a buffet (7-8 PM) of items available on the Capriccio Grill lunch menu including fried green tomatoes and muffalettas. If you’re in VIP there’s a second buffet of Reuben sandwiches, crawfish mac & cheese, and signature chopped salad. Peach margaritas will be on special and there will be a raffle for a Capriccio Grill gift certificate.
High Ground News has more information about the International Rockabilly Festival that will shake up the Monroe-Marshall area August 15-16.
Yesterday I blogged that Food Truck Fridays will be back this Friday for the first of four weeks on the FedExForum plaza. The arena has announced that this Friday, you can win tickets to go to the Imagine Dragons show next week that is part of their Smoke and Mirrors Tour.
The Michael Brothers will provide the live music tonight at Tacos & Tunes on Felicia Suzanne’s patio tonight from 7 to 10. $2 tacos, $5 drink specials.
Classic 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz plays on the big screen tonight at the Orpheum at 7. Sing-a-long during the movie, and beforehand you can add a brick to the theater’s Yellow Brick Road and get your photo taken at the selfie station.
If you saw a man in a full-length tie-dye cloak and a goat Downtown yesterday, this is his story.
Taking a recovery day from last night’s wedding after-party. I’m up hours earlier than expected, so I guess I’ll get out for a while. Possibly a second post later today, although not necessarily at my usual ~1:00ish weekday post time.
