Roll over and go back to sleep. You know what people in Olive Branch do when they wake up at 1:50? Roll over and go back to sleep. You know what people in Cordova do when they wake up at 1:50?

The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Memphis-International-Rockabilly-Festival\/1554655208130266\">Memphis International Rockabilly Festival<\/a> happens August 15-16. I am in the process of gathering more information about this festival, but save the date.<\/p>\n<p>On June 27, there will be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/1580125225609675\/\">Tamale Fest<\/a> in Binghampton, at 2509 Harvard. Yummmmm!!! I love tamales. That&#8217;s the same date as the Memphis Flyer&#8217;s margarita festival and the two are not far from each other.<\/p>\n<p>From the MBJ: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bizjournals.com\/memphis\/news\/2015\/05\/11\/drinks-fit-for-a-king-at-the-arcade.html\">Drinks fit for a King at the Arcade<\/a>.
