Meet at 6:45, then at 7 depart for a 3 mile run\/walk along the Memphis Riverwalk.  Then, return to Bardog for beer and food.  For those who participate, there&#8217;s $1.50 PBR, $7 spaghetti, $9 spaghetti and meatballs.<\/p>\n<p>Good tweet this afternoon from @watchdogon3:  &#8220;I went out with a woman that resembled the Sterick Building in downtown Memphis. She was tall and vacant.&#8221;  Haha nice one.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been told that there will be an article in the Commercial Appeal tomorrow listing the winners of Hot Wing Fest.  You&#8217;d think the festival would post that info on, um, maybe, its website?

It happens next Sunday, April 25, beginning at 1 PM.  The best event, Queen of the Vine, is the first event, so it&#8217;s a good idea to be there on time.  Insider&#8217;s recommendation:  Get a large Call-a-Cab from Wet Willie&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>Free lunchtime events this week Downtown, presented by the CCC:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tuesday: Country musician Trey Jewell in Court Square, 11:45-1:15<\/li>\n<li>Wednesday: 40-member John Woods Choral Ensemble, Peabody Place at Main, 12:30-1:30<\/li>\n<li>Thursday: Earth Day farmer&#8217;s market in front of City Hall, presented by Mayor Wharton&#8217;s office and the Memphis Farmers Market. 20 vendors, produce, flowers, treats, 10-2<\/li>\n<li>Jam session with Holly Cole and Jeff Hulett, Court Square, 11:45-1:15<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Memphis Connect has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.memphisconnect.com\/2010\/04\/19\/new-to-memphis-just-want-to-get-more-involved-try-mpact-memphis\/\">a good article by guest blogger Penelope McDowell<\/a> on MPACT Memphis.  She explains how she moved to Memphis, knowing hardly anyone, and quickly met a large group of friends through MPACT.  I&#8217;m not real involved in the organization anymore, but I highly recommend it if you&#8217;re looking to get more involved in the community and\/or to meet other young professionals 20-40s.<\/p>\n<p>As my friend Bicycle Bobby would say, &#8220;Damn!
