The Daily BuzzDavid Gest is Still Unusual05/11/2008 - 09:17 pm
Even though he no longer lives in South Bluffs or hangs out at Gus' Fried Chicken or raises money with weird concerts like in the good old days when he lived in Memphis, we still like to keep an eye on David Gest ...
Mary Cashiola Debuts "In the Bluff" (the blog)05/11/2008 - 07:08 pm
The NYT had a interesting trend story on biodegradable furniture yesterday. And we're not just talking about housewares made in an environmentally sound way or sheets that decompose; we're talking about entire couches. "As much as this scenario sounds like it was lifted from a Philip K. Dick novel ... Memphis in May and The Perfect Day05/11/2008 - 02:25 pm
Memphis in May. What does it mean to you? Mud-encrusted shoes from Music Fest? The thick, sweet pall of barbecue smoke that hangs over downtown on the month's third weekend? Fireworks at the Sunset Symphony as the finale of "The 1812 Overture"? All of the above? My first trip to Memphis was in May 1992.

Make Mom Happy in Memphis This Weekend05/09/2008 - 09:35 pm
There are plenty of Mother's Day brunches and buffets this weekend, many of which are listed in our online calendar. But if yo' mama would rather stray from tradition, there are plenty of other fun parent-friendly gatherings this weekend. Let mom stuff her face with spanakopita ... The Memphis Week That Was05/09/2008 - 12:34 pm
Everyone is against blight, but blight still wins most of the time. In his schools speech this week, Mayor Herenton called for removing blight around schools. Fine, but that is a city and county function, not a school function, and he has been running the city for 16 years. So get someone at Code Enforcement to crack down on blight around schools. And then put the squeeze on COGIC and the old Chisca Hotel ... Andrew Earles at Goner Records -- Just Farr a Laugh05/09/2008 - 11:53 am
Regular Flyer contributor Andrew Earles is primarily a music writer but has for years lived a double creative life as a humorist, performing onstage, on the page, and, perhaps most successfully, on tape via a series of prank phone calls he's produced over recent years with Brooklyn-based partner Jeffrey Jensen ...
