STILL a power outage. This is the second day. That little library closes unexpectedly more than any institution I’ve ever seen. The closures aren’t the staff’s fault, but still, it’s frustrating. It means this post is gonna cost me $6.25 (cost of a Fire Sale + tip at Flying Saucer) rather than $0.00 to write.
Walking to the Saucer, I saw a car with license plate MUFF DVR. How did they get away with that?
Reminder: The Memphis Made taproom grand opening in The Edge is this Saturday from 1 to 10. The taproom is at the corner of Madison and Lauderdale. That’s sorta on my Saturday late afternoon walking route. Maybe I’ll stop by.
If you upgrade to VIP for Memphis Soul Remedy and DJ Jordan Rogers on the Peabody rooftop tonight, you’ll get a buffet of Mediterranean chicken kabobs, lamb meatballs, and red pepper hummus with pita bread.
Michael from Blind Bear, once upon a time the Easter Bunny, is now the Nestle Quik bunny. The man is a master of reinventing himself. He can’t get enough strawberry milk these days, according to one of his coworkers.
KIX on Beale: Travis Denning and Kelsey Hart play a free show in Handy Park tonight to celebrate the music series’ 20th anniversary.
All White Affair Festival, the annual Curtis Givens party, will be at Tom Lee Park this Saturday beginning at 4.
Front Street Deli, in addition to its sandwich menu, is being used to test a new concept called Pasta Cosa Nostra. Chef Nick Scott is said to be behind the pasta concept, while Chef Duncan Aiken masterminded the sandwiches.
The liquor rep down the bar from me is discussing peanut butter-flavored tequila. YUCK
Hulk Hogan, Kid Rock, and Dana White will speak prior to the Trumpster at the Republican convention tonight. My God what a lineup.
That’s all. No idea if the library will be open for me to do a post tomorrow.
It’s free to read this blog, but I gratefully accept tips!
