Well, we had our first snafu with the BBQ team. A few weeks ago we designed the T-shirts, with our Moody Ques logo on the front and an Elvis theme on the back, with the words “Love Meat Tender.” The design was posted to our discussion board, and a couple of us commented, “Hold up, I think that might be the name of another BBQ team.” We did a little research and went back to the drawing board.<\/p>\n
We changed the slogan on the back to “Rub Meat Tender,” sent the shirt design to the printer, and the shirts are in the team bags I’m handing out this weekend and early next week. Memphis in May released a park map with the names of all the teams and their booth locations. Guess what?<\/p>\n
Rub Meat Tender is the name of a team too.<\/p>\n
Sigh.<\/p>\n
At least they’re not another shoulder team, close to us in location. They’re way down the park from us in ribs. And at least we didn’t enter the design in Best T-Shirt. We’ve never entered that competition because if you use the words “Memphis in May” on the shirts, you have to pay a licensing fee to the festival – and it’s well-known that any shirt without “Memphis in May” on it will be very unlikely to be considered for the winning spot.<\/p>\n
I guess it will give the team down the walk from us something to gossip about though…<\/p>\n
Yesterday was a good day for Penny Hardaway and Memphis Tigers men’s basketball. Four-star combo guard Lester Quinones chose Memphis over Indiana yesterday. That gives Penny five recruits in the incoming class rated 4-stars or higher, giving Penny a recruiting class said to be in top 5 or 6. It’s also believed that Penny isn’t done and that Quinones’ signing could cause other dominoes to fall in Memphis’ direction.<\/p>\n
The May South Main Association meeting<\/a> has been announced for Swanky’s Taco Shop in the Chisca building for Tuesday, May 14. Hear from the GM what to expect in the upcoming months (patio concerts were mentioned) and what makes this Swanky’s location special. Start time is 6 PM, although the first 30 minutes are usually social time before the program begins.<\/p>\n The last time #Memphis<\/a> had 4 straight days of dry weather & sunshine for a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, & Sunday was October 4, 5, 6, & 7 of last year. #wmc5<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/NtA4D2LEAZ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ron Childers (@RonChilders) May 10, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
