This is a great place to live because Memphis almost always has something going on during the weekends. But sometimes it’s a regular weeknight and you don’t feel like dealing with the bells and whistles, right? I’ve compiled a list of the things I like to do (or want to do) on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. This list is far from complete. I have many more corners of the city to explore in the coming months. These are just some the pit stops I find most interesting.
In the month of July I sort of dropped the ball on events and happenings around Memphis. Let’s face it, the month was jam-packed full of fun things to do. If you were waiting for me to tell you about them… well then this blog must be way more popular than I thought.
Anyway, I had a great time enjoying myself and writing up some of the highlights. I’m going to give you some of the events for August so you can mark your calendars and plan ahead, before The Christmas in September hits. Also at the end of this post I will announce something completely new and innovative…
When the power went out on Monday, I pretty much abandoned my plans for productivity that night and headed up to the P&H to relax. I had a friend-date that evening and people in dive bars on Mondays are notoriously cool. In all the confusion, I completely forgot that P&H does open mic on Monday nights. Tiffany Harmon, the emcee, showed up for an early dinner and tipped me off to the event. She added that Michael Joyner was the feature artist and, like bacon, that just made it better.
It was a hectic weekend, to be sure. Once all the dust settles, I think good times were had all around. I heard that the Rosanne Cash show @ Levitt Shell pulled a record-breaking turnout. I also received more than one invite to the new High Cotton Brewing Taproom that opened Saturday. Apparently the Dead Soldiers capped off the festivities. I was sorry to miss it, but I know the party must go on.
