Let’s Go with Plan B

Art, Black Lodge, First Impressions, P & H Cafe, Republic Coffee, The Brass Door

The Black Lodge was on fire last weekend.  Not literally, though firemen were discussed at one point.  There was a massive dance party on Saturday night.  Guerilla Stone was cooking, young folks were loitering.  I have it on good authority that some of the people inside were dancing too!  I was only able to manage a drive-by because Saturday was full of events city-wide.  I spent the previous night at Black Lodge enjoying a different show, but I’ll get to that in a minute.

Some Weekday Options

Botanic Gardens, Brooks, Celtic Crossing, Civil Rights Museum, Dixon, Future Plans, Hi Tone, Java Cabana, Lichterman, Metal Museum, Mud Island, Otherlands, P & H Cafe, Pink Palace, Republic Coffee, Rock & Soul Museum, Stax, Sun Studio, Tap Room, The Brass Door, The Cove

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.

Dodo Bird ~ Yojimbo

2014 World Cup, Blue Canoe (Tupelo), First Impressions, Future Plans, Quick Thoughts, Reasons for Things, The Brass Door

I have discovered that video editing is a time consuming process.  Especially without software.  Fortunately, my Sisyphean relationship with technology yields a little more progress every round.  So I just need to keep learning.

Tupeloyojimbo2014I went to The Blue Canoe in Tupelo last night to catch Yojimbo a second time.  (Note: Word’p’ress spell check does not recognize Tupelo as a proper noun and yet, corrects WordPress automatically.)  Driving an hour and a half to see a show is fairly uncommon for me personally.  I’m not really the “We’re drivin’ to Florida!” guy in the group.  This time the stars aligned perfectly.  Continue reading Dodo Bird ~ Yojimbo →

Hooligans and Haircuts

Celtic Crossing, P & H Cafe, The Brass Door

I went against my nature yesterday and ventured into the land of sports.  After my experience at Celtic Crossing for the USA v England World Cup match, I vowed to watch USA games from the safety of a private dwelling in the future.  But when I saw the setup The Brass Door put together for this Cup’s opening game, I couldn’t help but check it out.  Continue reading Hooligans and Haircuts →

Do I Wanna Know? – Arctic Monkeys

Buccaneer, Celtic Crossing, DKDC, Hi Tone, Minglewood, Overton Square, P & H Cafe, The Brass Door

Ohmigosh – there is SO MUCH to choose from. I don’t think you can swing a dead cat without hitting an event in Memphis this weekend. I’m not even going to mention scheduled weekly stuff this go round – those will be here later. Honestly, if you don’t leave home this weekend you should eat a gallon of shame ice cream.
