Okay, I haven’t done an “update” post in a few days… don’t want to let it slide until Monday’s lunch break.\u00a0 Let’s see what we’ve got…<\/p>\n
There will be a wine tasting at Texas de Brazil Sunday, October 24 from 6:30 to 9 PM, to benefit the Porter-Leath Cornerstone<\/a> program.\u00a0 $35 per person to sample Sebastini wines and complimentary appetizers.\u00a0 I have a feeling anything TdB puts out as a complimentary appetizer is bound to be yummy.\u00a0 Space is limited, so if you want to go, RSVP to Teresa at 901-205-1234 or e-mail tdickerson@grizzlies.com.<\/p>\n If you own a scooter, the Memphis Kings scooter club is having a rally here the first week of November, known as Dead Elvis IV<\/a>.\u00a0 Several of my friends are actively involved in this and it appears to be a lot of fun.\u00a0 Events for the weekend include a cookout at Max’s (formerly Calhoun’s), a ride to TJ Mulligan’s for live music, a ride to Sun Studio and the Old Millington Winery, a scooter judging, gymkhana, and an awards ceremony.\u00a0 If you live in the region and own a scooter, you should consider coming to this.\u00a0 Should be a fun weekend.\u00a0 You can RSVP through the link provided.<\/p>\n I’ve received several e-mails asking me if\/when Downtown Olympics is happening this year.\u00a0 There was some initial confusion, but now they have settled on a date, Saturday, October 16.\u00a0 I’m not involved in this event, so the best way to stay in tune with the latest details is to search for “Downtown Olympics 2010” on Facebook and respond as “I’m attending” or “maybe.”\u00a0 There’s also contact info for the event organizers on the page, if you want to contact them about entering a team.<\/p>\n The Memphis Business Journal reports that Downtown entrepreneur Carl Winfield is expanding his business.\u00a0 He’s outgrown the space he’s in, so he’s going to keep his current location as a shoe store, while moving his clothing business to a location two doors down the street.\u00a0 The new shop should be open by November.\u00a0 Congratulations to Carl – outgrowing your location is the kind of problem to have.\u00a0 Check out his store(s) if you haven’t already – really nice shoes, dress shirts, and club shirts, less expensive than what you’d find elsewhere Downtown.<\/p>\n Interesting idea that was mentioned to me this weekend… I ran into a couple of people at the Warehouse party last week who were actively involved in MPACT Memphis the same time I was, approximately 2002-04 or as I call the period, “the Doug Bacon years.”\u00a0 A comment was made that maybe we should have a reunion for people who were active in the organization during that time… it was a great crew, and we’ve all moved on to other pursuits in life and rarely get to see each other.\u00a0 Any interest in this?\u00a0 Let me know – if so maybe we can make it happen.<\/p>\n That’s the news for now… it’s a big Sunday Fun Day.\u00a0 Two people who have made Downtown a fun place to be this summer, Air Traffic Mike and Christiaan, will be enjoying their last Sunday Fun Day in Memphis for a while.\u00a0 Time to send them off with a proper farewell.\u00a0 And by proper farewell, I mean, beer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, I haven’t done an “update” post in a few days… don’t want to let it slide until Monday’s lunch break.\u00a0 Let’s see what we’ve got… There will be a wine tasting at Texas de Brazil Sunday, October 24 from 6:30 to 9 PM, to benefit the Porter-Leath Cornerstone program.\u00a0 $35 per person to sample … Continue reading “I haven’t done a “daily update” post in a while, so here ya go… Sunday update”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7920"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7920"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7920\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7921,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7920\/revisions\/7921"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.paulryburn.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
