Where’s the ice?, Grizzlies Streak Ends, Tigers Basketball, Jazzfest, A&R Going Downtown

Everyone seemed a little disappointed that the ice didn’t arrive as expected in Memphis. Oh well, there’s always next time.

The Memphis Grizzlies put up a strong fight, but came up a little short against the New Orleans Hornets tonight. The loss snapped the Grizzlies four game winning streak. Memphis will end its five game home stand on Friday against the Charlotte Bobcats.

After a tough loss to Georgetown on Saturday, the Memphis Tigers return to the FedEx Forum tomorrow night for a game with Arkansas-Little Rock. The Tigers will then take on Syracuse on Saturday. Speaking of Syracuse, did everyone see the wild finish of the Syracuse vs Cleveland State game last night?



The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival announced its 40th Anniversary line up today. The 2009 festival will be held on April 24-26 and April 30-May 3 with performances from the Dave Mathews Band, Wilco, Etta James, Buddy Guy and many more. Overall, the lineup is great. Obviously, this isn’t necessarily Memphis related, but New Orleans is a quick drive or train ride away.

It was reported today that A&R Bar-B-Q is opening its 4th Memphis location in the space formerly occupied by Downtown's Roma Pizza. Guess you can never have enough pork shoulder and ribs in Memphis.
