<\/a><\/p>\nThe Stumblin’ Elvis Pub Crawl<\/a> has been announced for next Saturday. Dress up as Elvis or Priscilla and meet up at the Flying Saucer at 7 PM. There will be a costume contest and Big Wheel races. They didn’t publish the list of bars they will crawl to on the Facebook event listing, but a Saucer manager told me the stops are the Saucer, Club 152, and Blind Bear.<\/p>\n This is a fun event, but I will warn you… every 10 feet you walk, someone will stop you and say, “Elvis, can I take your picture?” Because of this, I created my Elvis tourist<\/a> gimmick a few years ago. I dress up in an obnoxious pink ELVIS hat, an Elvis shirt, and I put on Elvis stickers and buttons and carry around a pink Elvis coin purse. At the pub crawl I chase the other Elvises around and ask if I can take their picture.<\/p>\n Undecided if I will do the pub crawl this year, but I like all the bars and I like it that the crawl only goes a quarter block down Beale. Pro tip for whichever Saucer manager leads the crawl: Don’t start drinking at 11 AM that day.<\/p>\n Speaking of the Flying Saucer: Those of you with connections through DFW will soon be able to fly the Saucer<\/a> while you’re waiting to fly the friendly skies.<\/p>\n Even the fire hydrants dress up for Elvis Week here.<\/p>\n For those headed to the Memphis Farmers Market this morning, here’s an article about the wartime origins of farmers markets<\/a>.<\/p>\n Did you know that The Corner Bar at the Peabody serves brunch-y food from 11 to 2 on Saturdays?<\/p>\n Click the photo to view it in a larger size. Sorry about the glare. Stupid sun. Hey moon, can you do anything about this sometime soon?<\/p>\n This Thursday’s all-you can eat special ticket at the Redbirds includes tacos<\/a> and all the toppings, along with hot dogs and one Coca-Cola product or bottled water per person. The buffet runs from 6 to 8 PM.<\/p>\n Comedy and beer collide this Thursday night as the Comma Comedians return to Memphis Made Brewing<\/a> at 7:30 PM.<\/p>\n Jam for Justice<\/a> benefiting the Community Legal Center happens tonight at Loflin Yard 7-10 PM. John Paul Keith, Low Country Nationals, and The Outcry will be among those performing. Your $20 donation includes a complimentary koozie and will help serve those with limited means and those unable to obtain legal help in other ways.<\/p>\n If you go in the Silly Goose today, there’s something you won’t find: ashtrays. The interior of the Goose is going nonsmoking effective today. You can still smoke on the patio or on the Peabody Place promenade. Excellent, excellent decision by Daniel.<\/p>\n “We’ll all be outside starting next week,” commented one of my friends. Yes I most definitely plan on sweltering in 100 degree heat indices so you can indulge in your cancer causing habit. If my friends choose to sit on the patio that’s fine. I guess I’ll have Jessica all to myself at the air conditioned bar on Wednesday and Thursday happy hours then.<\/p>\n Developers of the former Wonder Bread factory out in The Edge already have verbal agreement<\/a>s from tenants to occupy more than half of the 150,000 square feet of office space. The 286 apartments that are part of the package make the renovation a value for developers.<\/p>\n Time to get this day started! Plans for today TBD but I see a visit to Max’s Sports Bar happening at some point in the next 12 hours. Back tomorrow with more news.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Breakfast is good this morning! My buddy Clay cooked up a batch of his legendary Italian beef this week.
