Max’s Sports Bar will open at 2:30 today for the Cardinals game. They will have $3 drafts and $1 hot dogs until 7.<\/p>\n

Last night I saw one of those things that made me glad to be a Downtowner. There was a kid on the patio of the Majestic Grille with a sign reading “It’s my B-Day.” Every time a trolley would roll by, he’d hold up his sign and the trolley would toot its whistle to wish him a happy birthday.<\/p>\n

WWE Smackdown was filmed last night at the FedExForum. If you can’t wait for the TV show on Friday, you can read spoilers of the match results here<\/a> and read about Jerry “The King” Lawler’s appearance here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first 25 inductees into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame have been announced. Find out who they are here<\/a>. I’ll go ahead and spoil 4% of the surprise and tell you that one of them is Elvis.<\/p>\n

Broadway musical Catch Me if You Can<\/em> runs at the Orpheum this week. Find info and tickets about the performance here<\/a>. Attn Sunday brunch crew: I’ll be skipping the Majestic this Sunday because it always gets super-packed with Orpheum crowds prior to the 1:30 performance.<\/p>\n

Early voting for the November election starts today. Visit the Shelby County Election Commission<\/a> website for a list of early voting locations. You can vote early at any location; if you vote the day of the election, you must vote at your precinct.<\/p>\n

The Green Beetle is hiring servers and delivery drivers. Come by in person between 2 and 4 PM to apply.<\/p>\n

There are two Sunset Happy Hour events remaining at the Peabody this year. You can come up to the rooftop and enjoy a relaxing cocktail while watching the sun set over the river. Events last from 4:30 to 8:30 PM and are Friday, October 19 and Wednesday, October 31 (Halloween).<\/p>\n

Plans for tonight: Nothing unusual for a Wednesday. Beers at the Saucer, then trivia night at the Blind Bear at 8. Weather could make the 1-block walk from Saucer to Bear rather unpleasant, but I’ll deal with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
