Oh deer! We had a visitor at work yesterday afternoon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Assuming the rain stays away, it’s time for Thursday night outdoor parties. Let’s see what we’ve got going on tonight.<\/p>\n

– The Bo-Keys headline the Peabody rooftop party. 6-11 PM. $10 cover includes your first drink and a food buffet; ladies free before 7.<\/p>\n

– Billy Gibson brings the blues to the Madison rooftop tonight. 7-11 PM, $7 cover, cash bar and small plates available on the roof.<\/p>\n

– Ira Dean, formerly of Trick Pony, plays the “Rebel on Beale” country concert series tonight. It’s free to get in, at Handy Park at Third and Beale.<\/p>\n

The independent report on the Jerry Sandusky scandal has been released and it’s available here<\/a>. I’ve only skimmed it briefly, but it’s not pretty. Top school officials, including football coach Joe Paterno, knowingly allowed an environment to exist where Jerry Sandusky could do inappropriate things with young boys, even after officials became aware of allegations. Penn State president Graham Spanier seems to have covered matters up even more so than Paterno. I have a feeling Dr. Spanier will be coming to a prison near you in the not-so-distant future.<\/p>\n

If you’re into classic horror films, check out the Orpheum’s double-feature tomorrow night: Psycho at 7:15, followed by The Shining at 9:30. The films are part of their summer classic movie series. Info and tickets here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Great editorial by the Memphis Flyer: It’s the Court, Stupid!<\/a> People tend to forget that the President nominates Supreme Court justices. That’s an important factor to consider when choosing a candidate. A bad president may only serve four years, but if the president a bad Supreme Court justice, we could be stuck with him\/her for up to 30 years. Four members of the current Court are in their 70s, so retirements are likely by the end of the next presidential term.<\/p>\n

The Flyer’s Hungry Memphis blog posted about a food I’d never heard of before: Turkey ribs<\/a>. You can get them at A&R Bar-B-Que at Third and Court.<\/p>\n

Plans for tonight: Nothing definite, but you never know where I might turn up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
