Re: “9th Annual India Fest”
I was blown away alright, blown away by how rude everyone was. My kids and I were pushed and shoved around, and when we waited in line 30 minutes for some dosai, the family at the booth kept letting their Indian friends in front of us. We let it slide twice, but at the third time, I told them that we were next, and they rudely told us to wait our turn. We walked away without our food. This is the last place I'd want to spend the day.
Re: “Lamaze Class”
I have been trying to the instructor to call me back for 2 months! When I first called, her voice mail was full. I then called the receptionist and asked for another way to get in touch with her. I was told the only option I had was to wait until she cleared her voice messages to leave a message. She had no other means to contact the instructor and could not offer any further assistance. I finally got a chance to leave a message and it's been 2 months, she has not called me and my baby is due next month. I finally called Methodist and got an immediate response and entry into their class and I'm not even delivering there! St. Francis really cares about their patients, huh?

Re: “SunTrust Zoo Lights”
"SunTrust" plastered across the front of the zoo is gross. It makes it look too commercialized.
Re: “McGuinness Karaoke Idol with Q107.5 and Alexis Grace”
The host didn't seem to want to be there and the selection truly sucked. Thanks a bunch.
Re: “Ricky Mac Karaoke”
Last time I was there it really sucked.
Re: “Cinco de Marzo Live Mariachi Band, Los Cantadores”
los cantadores are ok of a mariachi band i attended a weeding that they were are and they are not worth what you pay for but they are one of the two mariachis in memphis tn so you have to settle for them....
Re: “Taylor Hicks”
The show was outstanding. He and the band work so well together. He also brought me good luck. After the show he signed my ticket and I won $900!!!

If you are inclined to jab yourself in the ears with toothpicks.
Re: “Rock-n-Roll Cafe”
I have to say I agree Joe Kent can be an ass, we go to Graceland atleast three times a year and we happen to run across the Joe Kent show which on all other occasions has been a great show. We even turn down going to Beale Street just to see his show and after in the middle of a conversation he starts cursing and gets up and runs out, it is not only rude and obnoxious it has ruined it for us and all our friends that go with us to see him. If you need to go get drunk and fight at the VFW then you don't need to be performing.

Re: “Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”
Donny Osmond happened to be excellent in the role, and set the high standard that other "Josephs" try to achieve. Otherwise, Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber wouldn't have chosen him for the video role. Donny sold out theaters whenever his version played there in the US and Canada. Why in the world would you throw dirt at him as a pathetic attempt at humor? It was a meaningless jab, and for me, took away any credibility your other remarks might have had. For anyone who doubts the excellence of Donny's performance, just go to search on youtube for "Close Every Door Donny Osmond." Judge for yourself: He's incredible!
Re: “Morning Bird Walk”
Why would The Memphis Flyer use a photo of a European Great Tit on an announcement for a north Mississippi Bird Walk? I'm sure the Audubon Society would be glad to furnish a photo of a native species.

Re: “"Monet to Matisse"”
Boo-ring. Same old same old they put up whenever they don't have anything better. Plus the info here is wrong, the gallery talk only happened once and they don't have docents or anyone to give tours.
Re: “"Math Errors in the Holy Bible"”
Mr. Collins errs in thinking there are errors in Scripture. Perhaps he should be better informed before writing about a subject he has yet to understand.
Matthew 22:29
But Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.
Re: “Wiseguys Comedy Improv”
Have you even been to one of these shows?
"Hack" is right. Hack standup jokes by even more hack people.
I'm pretty sure the "crew" laughed more than the 20 people in the audience.
Don't waste your time. Give the five bucks to a charity and red a good book.
