ATTN: Shows set in Memphis, could you please FILM in Memphis?
I keep seeing promos for some new series entitled “Memphis Beat“, which was apparently originally titled “Delta Blues”. It’s filmed, according to IMDB, in New Orleans, joining a other recent shows/movies set in Memphis and shot elsewhere.
Throw us a bone here, at least FILM in Memphis if it’s SET in Memphis. I can even understand just using a sound stage for a handful of scenes, but if the entire series is set in Memphis, you could at least shoot it here. COME ON!
Just ordered a Nexus One…
In a case of typical overspending, so buy my iPhone 3G 16GB unlocked/JB 
Email me if you know anyone interested
More random pics
These are from sunday. Graffiti and murals in Center Alley near Union and testing green beer at Kooky Canuck in preperation from St. Patricks.
Missed the Downtown Peta Protest
Due to my inability to set an alarm clock correctly
Shame, I was going to invite them to Huey’s for Burgers.
I did spot this though:
I think I’d take my chances with the stairs. Spotted in the alley by the Suntrust building.
Pics from Tuesday’s adventure.
I took last Tuesday off to catch up on a few things, and wander around in a drunken stupor. I managed to do both.
I started at Bardog in the early afternoon, meeting Gross (of Kooky Canuck) and Tony (of lots of places he no longer works due to physical altercations involving people who mostly deserved it) for a few drinks to discuss a project we’re working on (more on that when we get it off the ground). While we were there, an annoying guy proceeded to run up the biggest tab humanly possible, buying all kinds of shit at random, including food for the odd homeless guy that happened by. He managed to get his tab up to about $200, then his card got declined, lol. He of course was “Good for it” and just needed to go meet his brother somewhere else to get the money. They wisely called the cops.
(Our humanitarian is in the brown)
After a short discussion about the pitfalls of ordering an insane amount of shit you can’t pay for, the cops escorted him to jail.
After another hour or so of heavy drinking, we stopped by my place so I could drop my Macbook off, and Gross attempted to attack me with my own antique rifle
(No, I’m still not unpacked, suck it.) Being a ninja, I deftly disarmed him and we headed down to Beale.
After a one beer stop at BB’s, we headed to Blues hall to annoy Jon
and catch some Delta Highway:
Pretty cool show btw. Delta Highway that is, not Jon, he’s a freakshow.
The pictures stopped after that, as my vision was blurry, so I doubt the pictures would have been any good, but I vaguely recall throwing Gross in a cab bound for midtown, having another beer at Blues Hall, and walking home. I stopped in a completely deserted (at midnight or so) Huey’s to grab some takeout, since I hadn’t eaten much of anything all day. Weird seeing Huey’s completely empty at midnight, even on a Tuesday. After a couple of minutes at the bar, it was pretty clear why no one was sitting there, the bartender was a jackass. Oh well, the french dip was good, fuck him.
Overall, an entertaining, if not particularly out of the ordinary night out.
I’m going to stab everyone if I don’t get Mexican food soon.
I keep putting it off, I’m in an insane margarita and taco withdrawal craze. This will end badly.
Breakfast from Blue Plate or How to condense your entire day’s caloric intake into one meal.
I woke up early yesterday morning and was famished, having skipped dinner. I decided I’d grab some carry out from Blue Plate. I ordered the “2 Eggs any style” with Hash Browns. I forgot they ALSO come with biscuits and gravy. It was delicious, even though I couldn’t finish it, but it was so filling I literally didn’t anything else all day. They definitely give you your money’s worth.
I think I’m gonna hit Kooky Canuck tonight after work, I’ll try to remember to bring a camera or something and document the shenanigans.
2010 Beale Street Musicfest Lineup
From the official site:
Holy shit, what an amazing line up!
Oh wait, it’s 2010, not 1999. Meh. If I want to see a chubby wigger try to rap, I’ll wait for Britney Spears to get married again.
