Looking for a fun way to get some exercise? Come to Cardio Disco tonight at Paula & Raiford’s Disco.
Get your workout in while you get down to some disco. Class is $10 and start time is 7 PM. Paula herself participates in the class. Several of my friends have taken this class and have told me it is a lot of fun. This is the final Cardio Disco of the year, so don’t miss out.
WMC’s Joe Birch has a sneak peek of Big River Crossing as he rides a bike across the Harahan Bridge, where the largest pedestrian/bike trail across the Mississippi River opens Saturday. NOTE: The 11-minute video goes dark for part of the first 30 seconds. Give it time; it’s worth watching.
AIRSIDE presents Rock the Brass Door with special guests Arthur, Laramie, and Aaron James Monday, October 31 from 7 to 10:30 PM. It’s a Halloween concert, so costumes are encouraged. $10 to get in, or $5 if you’re wearing a costume.
Early voting turnout was strong on the first day, the CA reports, with about 6000 voting as of 2 PM Wednesday. Friends of mine tweeted lines stretching out the door at the Election Commission Downtown. One friend who voted in his lunch hour reported about a 20-minute wait. I would think wait times will drop as we get farther into the early voting period.
Bobby and Tasha play The Dirty Crow Inn next Wednesday, October 26 on the patio from 8 to 11 PM.
Grizzlies veteran Vince Carter and newcomer D.J. Stephens explain The Art of the Dunk in this video.
The fifth annual Walk a Mile in Her Shoes march happens Thursday, October 27, departing from the Memphis Cook Convention Center at 5:30 PM and walking to FedExForum. This is an event where men put on heels and march to show that rape, sexual assault, and domestic violence against women must come to an end. “First you walk the walk, then you talk the talk,” encouraging the community to discuss these topics that are difficult, but necessary, to talk about. WMC-TV has more info.
I don’t always crack open the fortune cookies that come with dinner at Yao’s, but when I do, this is what I see:
Thanks to the Blind Bear for letting us watch the debate in the back room. By the time it was over, though, I was thinking, “I wish I had been watching the Cubs instead.” For those who missed it, Trump appeared entirely presidential for the first 30 minutes… and then, the real Trump came out. He refused to say he would concede the election. WOW. He’s willing to disregard a 200-plus year old tradition of a peaceful transition of power. I bet that’s the final nail in his coffin. I bet a lot of people vote Republican up and down the rest of the ballot but leave the presidential race blank (or write in Pence, McMullin, Romney, etc.) after hearing that.
Time for work. Possibly back later today with a second update.
