(This entry originally posted Friday at The Memphis Blog) The World Championship Barbecue Cooking contest is heating up in every literal way possible. I moseyed down there for lunch today to visit my friend and co-worker Mike (below, at right), CA plateroom/prepress man and the brains behind Sow Luau, and sweated buckets in the sun. But it’s a beautiful day so I can’t complain too much. I got some free food (a hamburger, a hot…

Beale Street Music Festival memories people are dumb work

Day 121: The Wall of Death

By theogeo | May 4, 2009 by theogeo

I’ve already recounted this harrowing tale here at the BSMF blog. The only thing I wish to add is this: Is there any irony in a band that’s straight edge and vegetarian and super into PETA encouraging its crowd to beat the shit out of each other? No irony? Just dumb? Okay. Oh and one more thing. When I was recounting this story to my mom today, she was, of course, horrified (and relayed the…

BSMF blogging, year three

By theogeo | May 1, 2009 by theogeo

Okay, kids, once again I’ll be down at Music Fest this year, logging photographs and observations of the goings-on. I’m pretty excited since I’m actually getting to go all day, all three days. Usually I either have to skip a day or go down for partial days. Of course, I’m sure I’ll be sick of it all by the end of the weekend, because three days of anything is enough to make me spontaneously develop…

Day 120: PLS TRY NOT TO KILL ANYONE

By theogeo | May 1, 2009May 1, 2009 by theogeo

These signs were posted outside all the elevators and inside all the restrooms when I got to work today. And this hand-sanitizer dispenser had been put up outside the first-floor elevators. Hysterical much? [Project 365]

Day 114: MZM ’09

By theogeo | April 29, 2009April 30, 2009 by theogeo

Well well well, this year’s march of the undead featured a wedding, a zombified newsman, and tons of children. Always something keeping it fresh. I think the route was a little long and complicated. Noted. I was so happy to have friends come out to support it and get all goried up. (Amanda and Brandon made pretty hilarious zombies.) Kristin came all the way from Nashville and helped wrangle zombies while I ran around taking…

Day 112: Minglewood

By theogeo | April 23, 2009April 23, 2009 by theogeo

Usually Minglewood sports these neat purply black lights that kind of hurt my eyes as I pass, but tonight they were rockin’ the clown lights. I dig, a lot. Still never been there for a show. I thought for a long hard minute last night about buying tickets to the MGMT show in June, but then just as soon as I could think about that, I decided on a lark to go to Bonnaroo with…

Day 109: McLean Blvd

Felt restless. Sat outside and listened to the breeze for a bit. Felt even more restless. Lather, rinse, repeat. [Project 365]
