I get the weekly emails from the Downtown Memphis Commission listing what’s going on in the coming week (sign up at DowntownMemphis.com<\/a>). In this morning’s email I noticed a very cool event if you’re into different cultures of the world. Saturday there will be a celebration of the Persian New Year at 477 N. Fifth. There will be traditional Persian food and Nowruz ceremonies and dances. The email says to contact iraniansinmemphis@gmail.com for more info.<\/p>\n Sesame Street Live will be at the FedExForum tomorrow and Saturday. 10:30 AM and 7 PM performances tomorrow. 10:30 AM, 2 PM and 5:30 PM shows Saturday. Title of the show is “Elmo’s Super Heroes.”<\/p>\n Segway Experience of Memphis is now officially operating tours of Downtown on Segways, starting from the Peabody. Call 901-529-4108 to book a tour. Follow the tour company on Twitter at @SegwayMemphis.<\/p>\n Here’s a Huffington Post article on the Moscow Mule<\/a>. This is the light, refreshing drink made with vodka, lime juice, and ginger beer. The article fails to mention that the cocktail should be served in a copper mug. You can get a Moscow Mule at the Flying Saucer.<\/p>\n Reuters reports that the next iPhone will have a bigger 4.6 inch display<\/a>. It will be a retina display, similar to what is used on the new iPad.<\/p>\n Plans for tonight: Undecided as of yet.
