Wednesday News Update: Little Drummer Boss Edition

Today in Memphis, we've got jobs, mystery ladies, stereotypes and one very tiny drummer. Here's your Wednesday news update:

- First, in obligatory Elvis Week news: local music critic Bob Mehr has an interview with Elvis' cute mystery blonde, and for the first time, a Memphian has made it to the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest semifinals.

- If you're looking for a job, hustle downtown today for the Peabody Hotel's job fair. They're hoping to fill 30 full-time positions. It's going on until 3 p.m. at the hotel.

- Thanks again to everyone who tried to help me find this super cute dog a place to stay. She's gone home with someone who's going to keep trying to find her owner (and barring that, give her a forever home).

- I know we're all a little skeptical about this possible new Grizzlies owner, but maybe this will put you at ease: he's trying to work out a way for local partners to retain part ownership of the team.

- You know those silly, traffic generating city superlative polls that give our hometowns labels like "fattest" or "ugliest" or "smartest"? A Slate writer has used Google autocomplete to make a map of the U.S. that shows the stereotypes that are attached to every state.

- Lastly, if you've got a grill and a dream, you should enter the Best Memphis Burger Festival cooking contest.

As always, if you've got a tip or something you'd like to see featured on I Love Memphis, let me know. If you've got an upcoming event (or know about a good one), submit it to the blog's calendar.
