It means this post is gonna cost me $6.25 (cost of a Fire Sale + tip at Flying Saucer) rather than $0.00 to write.<\/p>\n<p>Walking to the Saucer, I saw a car with license plate MUFF DVR. How did they get away with that?<\/p>\n<p>Reminder: The Memphis Made taproom <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/s\/downtown-taproom-grand-opening\/1017309369762049\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">grand opening<\/a> in The Edge is this Saturday from 1 to 10. The taproom is at the corner of Madison and Lauderdale. That\u2019s sorta on my Saturday late afternoon walking route. Maybe I\u2019ll stop by.<\/p>\n<p>If you upgrade to VIP for Memphis Soul Remedy and DJ Jordan Rogers on the Peabody rooftop tonight, you\u2019ll get a buffet of Mediterranean chicken kabobs, lamb meatballs, and red pepper hummus with pita bread.<\/p>\n<p>Michael from Blind Bear, once upon a time the Easter Bunny, is now the Nestle Quik bunny. The man is a master of reinventing himself. He can\u2019t get enough strawberry milk these days, according to one of his coworkers.<\/p>\n<p>KIX on Beale: Travis Denning and Kelsey Hart play a free show in Handy Park tonight to celebrate the music series\u2019 20th anniversary.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cgientertainment.com\/event-details\/all-white-affair-festival-2024-ticket\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">All White Affair Festival<\/a>, the annual Curtis Givens party, will be at Tom Lee Park this Saturday beginning at 4.<\/p>\n<p>Front Street Deli, in addition to its sandwich menu, is being used to test a new concept called Pasta Cosa Nostra. Chef Nick Scott is said to be behind the pasta concept, while Chef Duncan Aiken masterminded the sandwiches.<\/p>\n<p>The liquor rep down the bar from me is discussing peanut butter-flavored tequila. YUCK<\/p>\n<p>Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock, and Dana White will speak prior to the Trumpster at the Republican convention tonight. My God what a lineup.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all.
