Two exceptions: Announcement of the winners in Seafood and Exotic have been delayed until today due to yesterday&#8217;s inclement weather.<\/p>\n<p>That inclement weather caused Memphis in May to evacuate Liberty Park for a while yesterday, with guests who did not have cars parked nearby sheltering in the Liberty Bowl concourse.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s the day the teams have been waiting for: The judges will come around to the booths to score teams in the Big Three categories: Ribs, Shoulder, and Whole Hog. Judges will also visit the smaller Patio Porker teams. Good luck to everyone who is competing today.<\/p>\n<p>The Memphis Grizzlies&#8217; playoff run has come to an end as they lost at Golden State last night 110-96. Congratulations to all the Grizzlies players and staff on a phenomenal year that could best be described in two words: Exceeded expectations. Very few people expected a 56-26 record and a 2 seed in the West from this team. The future is indeed bright.<\/p>\n<p>There are some good things happening at breweries around town today. At Soul &amp; Spirits at 845 N. Main, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/381162007218561\">Manes on Main Festival<\/a> will happen from noon to 10 PM. There will be hair, beard, and mustache competitions (hence, &#8220;Manes&#8221;) with local celebrity judges. There will also be a new festival beer release along with refillable, collectible ceramic mugs. There will be a Shop Made in Memphis vendor area and three food trucks: Albees, New Wing Order, and Yippie Trippie.<\/p>\n<p>Wiseacre will host a Karaoke Jam at its Downtown location with DJ Lil&#8217; Egg Roll tonight 7 to 10.<\/p>\n<p>Memphis Made Brewing Co. has its annual Hopped festival this weekend. HEELS and Church Bros. will supply the live music. Lady Guava, a Double IPA with guava flavor, will make its debut.<\/p>\n<p>You can now pick up bottles of STIX&#8217;s ginger dressing and yum yum sauce at Cordelia&#8217;s Market.<\/p>\n<p>Pro tip for bar managers: When selecting new furniture for your patio, keep in mind that there are quite a few people in this town who tip the scales on the far side of 300. If you choose fashionable over durable, you might find yourself making a second trip to the furniture store.<\/p>\n<p>From Lifehacker: <a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/how-to-survive-sleeping-in-the-heat-when-you-dont-have-1848917337\">How to sleep in the heat when you don&#8217;t have air conditioning.<\/a> I could have used this a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>Also from Lifehacker: <a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/how-to-fight-a-goose-and-win-just-kidding-you-won-t-w-1848918670\">How to fight a goose and win (just kidding, you won&#8217;t win)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rootstock Wine Merchants opens Monday at 644 Madison in The Edge.
