If you drive Downtown, here’s a tip for you: The city is closing Jefferson between Front and Second at 9 AM for approximately the next 4 days for sewer repair work.<\/p>\n
The DIY Network has put out a casting call for America’s Most Desperate Landscape. Do you have a really ugly backyard? You and your backyard could appear on TV, as your backyard goes through a massive transformation – decks and fergolas, fences and walkways, repair and renovation.<\/p>\n
To be considered, you need to email amdl@fogedgemedia.com with the following:<\/p>\n
1) Your name, contact info and a brief description of why you should be selected for the show.<\/p>\n
2) Three pictures of your backyard – wide shots. (Note: 25 MB limit per email)<\/p>\n
3) A brief video of you and your backyard – post it on YouTube and email them the link. Your video should show your personality as well as your desperation about your ugly backyard.<\/p>\n
Entries will be accepted through October 14.<\/p>\n
Last weekend Mickey Gall defeated former WWE star C.M. Punk at UFC 203. Gall took Punk down immediately and Punk was never able to gain control. Punk finally tapped after a little more than two minutes. Gall’s purse for the win: $30,000. Punk’s payout for the loss: $500,000. I’m a huge C.M. Punk fan, but doesn’t something seem wrong with that?<\/p>\n
Reminds me… I WILL BE GOING to WWE Monday Night Raw next week at FedExForum. A friend posted on Facebook that he had an extra ticket and I jumped all over it. Performers I am most looking forward to seeing: Enzo Amore and Big Cass, Kevin Owens and Sasha Banks. Watch it on USA if you don’t have a ticket. Enzo is right up there with The Rock, Flair, Dusty and Stone Cold on the microphone.<\/p>\n
Most of the September 24 games have been announced, and I am delighted with the times. Arkansas-Texas A&M at 8, Memphis at 7. With all my teams playing night games, that clears my schedule to go to BreakFest 901<\/a> during the day. A cooking contest for those who brunch so hard, BreakFest will happen at the Broad Avenue Water Tower from 10 to 4 that day, benefiting the Urban Bicycle Food Ministry. Competition categories include Omelet, Bacon Lovers, Breakfast Sandwich, Breakfast Sweets, and Anything Goes.<\/p>\n The thing I like most about BreakFest? My team isn’t competing! That means I won’t have any Director of PR duties and can just walk around the park and visit my friends’ teams. It will be nice to hang out a cooking competition and just be able to chill. I bought my ticket to BreakFest this morning as well as to the Memphis Farmers Market’s Farm Fest the following day. Probably I will hit the Farmers Market the morning of BreakFest and then order a Lyft out there… hmmm, my “DAWG” John D mentioned going and that there might be the possibility of a ride. Might have to talk to him. It seems very appropriate to go to a breakfast festival with the guy who has a breakfast named after him at the Majestic.<\/p>\n The fast food industry has run out of ideas. Cheetos Chicken Fries<\/a> at Burger King. There is nothing about this that appeals to me. I would rather eat SPAM. I would rather eat tofu.<\/p>\n Craft beer fans: The Wiseacre tap room is closed tonight and tomorrow for private events.<\/p>\n Archer Malmo is expanding again<\/a> and will soon occupy 75% of the Cotton Exchange Building. They are taking over the 10th floor, making room for six former empoyees of Combustion which Archer Malmo acquired recently.<\/p>\n That’s it for now. Maybe a second post after work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you drive Downtown, here’s a tip for you: The city is closing Jefferson between Front and Second at 9 AM for approximately the next 4 days for sewer repair work.
