Art Walk, Hot Wings, Crawfish and Grizzlies
There's lots of fun events going on this weekend. Here a few to keep your eye on.
Broad Avenue Spring Art Walk - Friday, April 15
10 Art Exhibits, 12 local artists join for the evening at the Artist Market and music by Dynaflow. There will also be a fun wine tasting fundraiser. Admission is free and food/drink will cost you a few bucks.
Southern Hot Wing Festival on Saturday from 10am to 6pm at South Main and G E Patterson. This is usually a fun event, with great people watching. You can usually sample the wingsfrom each team for a small donation to a charity. Otherwise, the event is sort of like BBQ fest. You have to know someone on a team in order to sample the food and get free drinks. Beer and other food is available for purchase from local vendors. There is also a nominal admission fee.
The Rajun Cajun Crawfish Festival is Sunday afternoon from 12-6 at Wagner Place between Union and Beale. This free admission event is usually one of the best festivals in Memphis. If the weather is good, you can expect great people watching and an annual visit to the Pier.
The Grizzlies also kick off their playoff run on Sunday at noon against the San Antonio Spurs. With the Grizzlies playing on the road, Sunday Funday at local bars might be packed for the game. The Grizzlies will host games three and four of the best of seven series on Saturday, April 23 and Monday, April 25. If necessary, game six will be played in Memphis on Friday, April 29.
Don't forget, there is plenty of time to get your favorite Grizzlies and NBA playoffs gear. Just click the banner below.

Grizzlies, Crawfish, Baseball, Next Door
With last night's win over Sacramento, the Grizzlies clinched a spot in the playoffs. The next few games are important for seeding purposes. At this point, it might be better to be the #8 seed and face the struggling San Antonio Spurs. If the Grizz move up to #7, then Memphis would face the hot Lakers. Let's pull for #8.
Today's weather is perfect for the Overton Square Crawfish festival (noon til 6). There should be plenty of people out there for the fest. If you are looking for a smaller crawfish event, the High Point Pub is having a crawfish boil from 5 til 1am.
If crawfish isn't your speed, then baseball might be a good option. The Redbirds are in town and the University of Memphis is hosting #14 Southern Miss all weekend. The Tigers won in dramatic fashion last night, so the next couple of days could generate some fierce play.
Finally! Midtown has a sports bar. Cooper Young's Sweet Grass has opened Next Door (literally next door to Sweet Grass), a higher end sports pub. They have a great drink selection, lots of tvs with all of the sports packages and a nice menu. Highly recommend is the burger, which comes with deep fried pimento cheese. Add a fried egg to that and you are set. Other recommendations are the chicken and waffles and the french fries fried in duck fat.
King of Leon tonight. Anyone else going?
