Good luck to former Memphian the Nuh-Uh Sister, who is in L.A. filming an episode of Jeopardy<\/i> as a contestant today.<\/p>\n
Wet Willie’s bartender Jessica Braddy was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Disease in December, and Beale Street is holding a fundraiser for her. All the get-in-(almost) all-of-the-Beale-cubs wristbands sold on Friday, January 17 will be donated to paying for her care. Also, Jessica Braddy Benefit and Silent Auction will held on Friday, January 17 at Wet Willie\u2019s with music by Eric Hughes and other musicians. Wet Willie\u2019s will match every dollar donated. If you can’t make it to the fundraiser, you can donate here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Shelby County Health Department is now offering free flu vaccines<\/a>.<\/p>\n Lansky at the Peabody is having their biggest sale ever. Here’s what’s on sale:<\/p>\n 50% OFF All BONOBOS Pants If you can’t make it to the store, email sales@lanskybros.com with your sizes\/brands\/styles interested and they will send you photos.<\/p>\n The MBJ reports that Hard Rock Cafe is moving<\/a> into the building at 126 Beale. That building is the former home of Republic Nightclub, EP Delta Kitchen, and Elvis Presley’s Memphis.<\/p>\n After getting knocked out at poker last night, I watched the Kentucky-Arkansas game, which went into overtime. Tied at 85-85, the Hogs missed a three-pointer with about 3 seconds left… and then sophomore Michael Qualls put it back in with a SportsCenter Top 10-worthy dunk. That left the Wildcats with 0.2 seconds to pass the ball the length of the court and tip it in. However, the Wildcats threw the ball too high and it hit the arena’s ceiling scoreboard, considered out of bounds. That gave the Razorbacks the ball with 0.2 on the clock and that was the game. So much fun to see John Calipari screaming at the refs, the timekeepers, anyone who would listen. View the video of the dunk and reactions here<\/a>.<\/p>\n This may be useful to some of my readers: LinkedIn launches Volunteer Marketplace<\/a>, a place to connect and help out with nonprofits.<\/p>\n The Memphis Car Show is this weekend at the Cook Convention Center. Here are the details:<\/p>\n Friday & Saturday: 10 AM-9 PM Adults 13+ are $8 Sunday is Family Day. Kids 12 and under are free with paying adults.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, over at the Cannon Center, there will be a nationally televised boxing card<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n That’s it for now. I’ll probably lead off at the Silly Goose after work around 6, then walk over to Blind Bear to continue my journey through the new dinner menu. Getting some good pics for the next PBR Review post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good luck to former Memphian the Nuh-Uh Sister, who is in L.A. filming an episode of Jeopardy as a contestant today.
