The annual membership of MPACT Memphis<\/a> will be tomorrow evening, Wednesday, October 21 from 6 to 8 PM at their new headquarters at 506 S. Main. There will be a “state of the organization” address, and then the slate of board members for the coming year will be presented. After a vote on the slate, you’ll have the opportunity to provide your feedback on the direction you’d like MPACT to take in the coming year.<\/p>\n

Food and beverages will be provided. Free food? Wonder if the Nuh-Uh Girl will show up.<\/p>\n

I will most definitely be there, and maybe I’ll take some notes and type up a report. But that’s tomorrow night… first I have to get through tonight, which is trivia at the Saucer. Wondering if we’re going to be operating with a smaller-than-usual team tonight… the offer of the free goblet with purchase of a Hoptoberfest at Bardog may reduce team size. There’s also a new reason to skip trivia and go to Calhoun’s on Tuesday night instead… I recently learned that Jamie, who bartended at the Saucer for a couple of years, is behind the bar at Calhoun’s on Tuesdays.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, there’s an additional reason to go to the Saucer on Tuesdays… they’re bringing back live music on Tuesday night.\u00a0 Someone named “J.D.” (can’t recall his last name) will play bluegrass starting at 9 PM after trivia ends.<\/p>\n

Just checked the weather forecast… wow the weather is really not cooperating with RiverArtsFest this year. Saturday they are calling for a high of only 54, nearly 20 degrees below normal. Nevertheless, I’ll be down there… skipping a great South Main event like RiverArtsFest is unthinkable. Although, I may waive my “no side parties at festivals” rule on Saturday morning, and park myself at Calhoun’s to watch Arkansas beat Ole Miss.<\/p>\n

More stuff to come… I’ve got enough posts waiting in Drafts to get through Thursday. That’s the great thing about October – there’s almost too much going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
