Friday is also the finals of the Hard Rock Battle of the Bands competition. Hear some great music, and the receipts at the door go to charity. They actually asked me to be a judge for this, not that I know a thing about music (of course, I didn’t know a thing about beer pong but was a judge at Pub Olympics last year, so there is a precedent). I didn’t want to miss an April Trolley Tour though, so I declined. Should be a fun night, no matter which event you attend.<\/p>\n

Through the end of the month you can purchase a VIP dining card from Texas de Brazil<\/a> and enjoy a 50% discount on up to 12 full-price dinners (can be used concurrently or over multiple visits) Sundays-Fridays through November 30. A portion of the price of the gift card goes to benefit the Children’s Cancer Fund.<\/a><\/p>\n

There will be two free screenings of Getwell<\/em>, the documentary of the Church Health Center, at Studio on the Square on Thursday, May 7. The film will be shown at 7 PM and again at 8:30 PM.<\/p>\n

If you missed B.B. King in December, he’s coming back to his club June 2 and June 3. Guess the December concerts were not his last ones after all.<\/p>\n

Next Tuesday, historian Jimmy Ogle will take guests on a walking tour of Court Square at lunchtime (I believe it’s an 11:45 start). Come meet all the bums in person!\u00a0 Get crapped on by the pigeons! It’s part of the Downtown Alive!<\/em> spring lunchtime series.<\/p>\n

Home from work… I got a text from a friend who talked to another friend who talked to the bellman at the Madison Hotel, and he said the Dempseys aren’t playing tonight.\u00a0 It’s apparently some guy on a piano instead.\u00a0 It’s third-hand info, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s enough to firm my decision to go to the Peabody tonight.\u00a0 (Edit: Just check their website, and their gigs tonight and tomorrow are canceled, so it’s true.\u00a0 Hope everything’s OK with the band.)\u00a0 (Edit 5:36 PM:\u00a0 Now I just got a text that they ARE playing.\u00a0 Who the hell knows.)\u00a0 Will probably do Saucer\/Goose or Goose\/Saucer before the rooftop.\u00a0 Heading out now…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
