Correction to my previous post: The Work-It Wednesday happy hour at Bardog is Wednesday, August 5, not tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Woot<\/a> is having a Woot-off today. Normally, Woot offers one item per day that is a tremendous deal… however, once in a while they have a Woot-off and sell one item after another, throughout the day. They sell one at a time until supplies run out, then go on to the next item. Here’s a link to a site<\/a> that will help you track Woot-offs (thanks to the Nuh-Uh Girl for posting the link on Twitter).<\/p>\n

The Memphis Music and Heritage Festival<\/a> is just over a month away, and the Center for Southern Folklore<\/a> needs volunteers. If you want to help make this Labor Day weekend festival a success, contact Brian at the Center or hit them up on their Facebook page. They need volunteers for stage management, beer, food and merchandise sales, and logistics.<\/p>\n

The Liberty Bowl has a new website. Check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This has been all over the news the past couple of days, but I’ll mention it for anyone who missed it – a new film company, Paper Moon Films, is making use of a new concept called “crowd funding” to produce its first of three low-budget feature films. The film will be called “Open Five” and will be directed by local director Kentucker Audley. To learn more about the film or to donate, go here<\/a>. There will also be a fundraiser called “Love Letter to Memphis” on July 30 at Minglewood Hall.<\/p>\n

Wow, the Power House has been loaded with events lately… here’s another one… a reception tomorrow night, Thursday, July 23, from 5:30 to 7 PM, for “Counter Narratives,” an exhibit that is the result of a 5-week collaboration between the Power House and inner-city teens who participated in this year’s Memphis Youth Leadership Program.<\/p>\n

Our trivia team finished 3rd last night, upping our gift certificate total to $110 for the next party.<\/p>\n

I’ve heard that the glass the Flying Saucer is selling for “buy the beer, keep the glass” night tonight is an unusually nice one. It’s a New Belgium brewing company glass (they make Skinny Dip, Fat Tire, 1554, and Mothership Wit). I have more glasses than I need already, but may stop by just to take a look. I’ll definitely be out somewhere… 80 degree days in July are too rare not to enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
