Get Excited for Tiger Basketball, Bail Someone Out for a Cause and Let Me Take Your Picture

365 Memphians - Brittany Whisenant
Brittany Whisenant is the co-owner and general manager of South of Beale, a gastropub on South Main St. that's (conveniently) a few blocks south of Beale St. For the last two years, SOB has served good drinks and even better food (think scallops with tomato and watermelon, bar pies and pulled pork egg rolls). If you haven't stopped by in a while, make a visit - the menu recently changed, and they're about to start offering lunch. In other news: - Oh happiest of days - the University of Memphis 2011-2012 men's basketball schedule has been released. In case you're counting, basketball season is now 67 days away. Football season, on the other hand, starts next Thursday. - Several of Memphis' finest citizens are being locked up tomorrow, and it's up to you to get them out. The Muscular Dystrophy Association is "jailing" a handful of Memphians at Central Station tomorrow, and the only way to get them out is to raise money for their bail. If you want to help out, no donation is too small. - Are you doing something interesting? Are you involved in something that everyone should know about? Do you want to share your love for Memphis? I'm looking for Memphians of all ages, backgrounds and dispositions to feature in my 365 Memphians portrait series. All you have to do to get involved is email me and let me know who you are and that you'd like to be a part of the series. If you want to include some details about what you do / who you are, they're appreciated.

Yay for spreading the word about the lock up! The Folkie staff is getting incarcerated at 1pm. http://www.folkalliance.org/blog/fai-staff-does-time-for-charity/

Ms. Crawford: My name is G. Wayne Dowdy and I am the senior manager of the Memphis Public Library and Information Center’s Memphis and Shelby County Room and history department. I'd be happy to participate in your series in order to promote the public library. I am the author of three local history books, Mayor Crump don’t like it: Machine Politics in Memphis; Hidden History of Memphis and Crusades for Freedom: Memphis and the Political Transformation of the American South. My fourth book, a Brief History of Memphis, will be published in the fall. I served as a consultant for the NBC-TV series who do you think you are? and have appeared in the documentaries Overton Park: a Century of Change, Memphis memoirs: Downtown and Citizens not Subjects: Reawakening Democracy in Memphis. Thanks, Wayne
