Midtown Ranks High, WSP, Thursday Fun Stuff

Midtown Memphis, specifically zip code 38104, is ranked 18th in the nation for affordable fun, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. Maybe next time they will get a better picture, instead of the 38103 image.

Tickets for Widespread Panic's 25th Anniversary show at FedEx Forum on Saturday, October 1st go on sale this Friday (August 19th) at 10am. WSP typically puts on a great show, so this should be fun. Looks like this might be a bad week to quit listening to jam bands. 

If you are looking for something to do tomorrow, don't forget about 3rd Thursdays at Main & Peabody. Live music and food/drinks specials might be a great way to beat the Memphis August heat.

Another solid option is the "Rock For Love Five" concert at the Hi-Tone tomorrow night at the Hi-Tone. Star & Micey, The Near Reaches, Bryan Hartley Industries, Grace Askew and DJ Lady Problems will be performing at this benefit for the Church Health Center.

Here's a little Widespread Panic for your listening enjoyment.
