Photo #34, and Other Relevant Information

34/365

This is my Project 365 photo for the day, and though I didn't take it, it was taken on my camera, so I think it counts.  My friend Ryan needed some pictures of someone "walking in Memphis" for an ad campaign he's working on. While we were out shooting, I got a little silly. (Please know that no streetlights were harmed in the taking of this photo.)

In other Memphis-related news:

- I'm not sure if you've been paying attention to awards season or not, but Memphis is representing at the Emmys, Grammys and Oscars. MGMT, Booker T., Five Dollar Cover Amplified and The Blind Side are all represented.

- Memphis theater (and blog) legend Sister Myotis is headed to New York for a 22-performance run of "Sister Myotis's Bible Camp" which will run from June 11 through the Fourth of July. New Yorkers are in for a hilariously holy experience when Sister M. is let loose in their fair city. There's only one catch - Steve Swift, the man who plays Sister Myotis, is having a tough time affording the trip.

He (and his theater company, Voices of the South) is looking for donations of cash or in-kind donations of travel, lodging or living expenses while the show is in New York. If you've ever come in contact with the holy lady (or if you haven't, this YouTube video of her talking about thongs is a great place to start), please consider dropping some cash into the offering plate. Voices of the South is asking that you send any donations to Voices of the South, P.O. Box 11222, Memphis, Tenn. 38111.

- There's still time to win a romantic Memphis Valentine's day package for you and your sweetie. The package includes a night's stay at the Madison, flowers, champagne, chocolate, a car and driver, and dinner for two at the Inn at Hunt Phelan. All you have to do is tell these nice people what you love most about downtown Memphis by Friday, Feb. 5.

- If you don't have plans tonight, here are some of your options: The Magic Kids are playing at the HiTone Cafe tonight with Smith Westerns for $6, and the University of Memphis Tigers are taking on the UAB Blazers at the FedEx Forum at 7 p.m. If you can't make it to the Forum, the game will be broadcast on CBS.
Lastly, if you ever see me out and about, please come say hello. I've gotten the chance to meet a few of you over the past few days, and it makes me really happy to meet you guys. It feels a little less like I'm typing into a vacuum, you know? So come introduce yourself next time you see me around town.

Love The Magic Kids. How late do you think they'll go on?

I like your boots. What brand are they?

They're Frye (I believe the Veronica Slouch). I've had them for about six months, and they're perfect for stomping around Memphis.

I had a feeling they were Frye. I love the buckles that they put on their boots. Thanks for the info. You do a great job on this blog.
