Like live blues? You need to get down to Beale Street tonight for a FREE Road to the Biscuit blues festival. In conjunction with the King Biscuit Blues Festival happening in Helena, Arkansas this weekend, musicians and bands will perform in 14 clubs on Beale Street.
Teach the Little Brats How to Cook is the theme at this Saturday’s Memphis Farmers Market. Okay, so “Kids in the Kitchen” is the actual theme, but I am not a fan of children so I decided to improvise. Get kids familiar early on with tasks like chopping, stirring, and cruising the drive-thru at Burger King that lead to delicious autumn meals. Here’s a link to a website with kid-friendly recipes. It’s unfortunate that due to state law, I can’t introduce kids to my favorite part of shopping for fresh produce at the Market, which is walking across the street to Earnestine & Hazel’s afterward and putting away some PBR. Live music by Steve Schad 8:30-10 and Adam Levin 11-12:30. Adoptions by Real Good Dog Rescue from 9 to noon. The Market happens at the corner of Front and G.E. Patterson under the pavilion every Saturday from 7 AM to 1 PM.
Did you know that there are only 7 Markets left this season? Saturday, November 19 is the last one, so make plans to get down and see your favorite farmers and vendors one last time while you still can. November 19 is the day after my birthday, and I already have plans to have an AWESOME birthday weekend at the Market and nearby bars!
After that, the Farmers Market season will resume Saturday, April 1, 2017. However, there will be a special holiday market on December 10. “Hoe! Hoe! Hoe!” read the Market e-newsletter this week, and it took me a minute to realize I should have been interpreting that as a farm implement rather than reminiscing about some of the yoga pants I have seen at the Market this year. With everything from gifts to treats to dinners, the Market will be a great place to get your stocking stuffed.
The Creative Works Conference happens today through Saturday at the Halloran Centre. Creatives around the country will share what drives compelling work. Here’s the lineup.
In conjunction with the conference is the Creative Works Market from 10 to 6 today through Saturday at the Halloran Centre. You’ll be able to shop the wares of over 30 local designers, artists, and makers. You might be able to find some unique gifts and get your Christmas shopping done super early!

If you drink Coors Light, drink it out of the proper mug.
Damn I am in a snarky mood today.
If it’s your first time here today, keep scrolling to see what a beer/popsicle pairing looks like. Outta here for now, still plan on being at the Silly Goose for happy hour.
