This Weekend in Memphis - 2/5 - 2/7
Happy weekend, everybody! There's a lot going on in Memphis over the next three days, but here are some suggestions to get you started:
1. University of Memphis Tigers vs. Gonzaga, FedEx Forum, Saturday, 3 p.m.
After Wednesday's epic win against UAB, I'm completely excited to watch the Tigers take on Gonzaga tomorrow. If you can't make it to the game, it'll be broadcast on ESPN 2 (and online on ESPN360). If you are going to the game, why don't we all meet up at halftime?
2. Cirque du CMOM, Children's Museum of Memphis, Saturday, 7:30, $125
The Memphis Children's Museum is a wonderful non-profit museum for kids of all ages in the Mid-South. Cirque du CMOM is their annual fundraiser. Expect a big, fabulous party that's full of top hats, feather boas, delicious food and drinks, sideshow acts and plenty of celebrating.
3. Lucero with the Glossary, Minglewood Hall, Friday, 8 p.m., $15
Hometown boys Lucero are playing at Minglewood tonight. They're currently touring for their latest release, 1372 Overton Park. The record was critically well-received, but hope they play some of the pared-down country tracks from their first few independent releases.
4. Superbowl Sunday, bars all over town, Sunday, 5 p.m.
This year's Superbowl is worth watching - the Saints (who've never been to a Superbowl) are playing the Colts (lead by Peyton Manning in their second Superbowl). Bars all over the city are having drink and food specials. Try Bardog, Local, South of Beale, Young Ave. Deli and the Cove. If you're watching from home, order sushi from Sekisui or wings from Chings.
5. Pippin, Playhouse on the Square, Through Feb. 21, $35
Playhouse on the Square is all settled into their fabulous new home on the corner of Union and Cooper. Their first production in the new space is Pippin, a musical about the son of Charlemagne setting off to find himself on the battlefield.

Anyone else thinking of boycotting the Superbowl over CBS's advertising choices? Or just me?
Anyone... Bueller?
