I spent most of today at the Center for Southern Folklore’s Memphis Music & Heritage Festival<\/a>, and it was without a doubt the best one ever. Here are some pics: (click them to see them full size)<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>Puppeteer Jimmy Crosthwait with a sabre-toothed tiger.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>Crosthwait with fellow Sunday bruncher\/regular blog reader John D. Wait, that isn’t John D, he doesn’t have a bottle of Bud Light in his hand.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>No festival is complete without Chicken Fries.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>The Flying Fish had a booth there, selling fish baskets and shrimp baskets.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>Sauces had a booth selling mojitos. Stay tuned for an announcement about Sauces, and keep Thursday night free on your calendar if you like good drinks.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>There was also a palm\/tarot reading booth.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>One of the bands. I didn’t do a very good job getting band names so some of the band shots will be uncaptioned.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>The hardest working man at the festival, master of ceremonies IQ.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>An American Indian dance troupe gets ready to perform.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>EP Delta Kitchen chef Michael Patrick having fun at his cooking demo.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>A classic Downtown Memphis photo.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

I took about 40 more, and there will be a photo album once the weekend is over and I’ve rounded up all the pictures. Also, I took some bum pictures today, and those will go online as well, in a separate post. This blog seems to get more hits when I post pics of bums.<\/p>\n

Also, I would be remiss in my duties as a blogger if I did not mention that regular blog reader Suzy had a tube top on. Looks like she went commando again too.<\/p>\n

It’s a two-day festival, so you still have a day left to get down there and experience one of the best fests of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
