Ed. note: The nice thing about living in a music city is that we get a ton of great live shows every single month. The tough thing, however, is deciding which bands to see. With that in mind, here are 10 recommendations for shows you won't want to miss this month:
1. Summer Fun Concert, Shelby Farms, Aug. 2, 6:30 p.m., free, all ages
What's easier than trivia night, but more fun than just sitting at a bar? Assignment #199 in the 365 Things to Do in Memphis: Bingo night at the Brass Door.
One of the best documentaries of the past five years (at least, according to me) is showing at the Brooks Museum tonight, and you should be there.
Gibson's has great donuts and perfect hours (open all day and night). They've also got a flying pig hanging from the ceiling in their dining room.
You can dispute a lot of the items on the 100 Things to Eat in Memphis list, but you'd best leave the Greek Burger from Alex's alone.
It's perfection—a thick, juicy puck of seasoned beef topped with cheese, mustard, ketchup and a tomato slice, squashed between the halves of a regular bun. It's nothing fancy, but it's filling, and it comes with a side of seasoned steak fries.

If you could pack a vacation to New Orleans into a cocktail glass, you'd have the Cove's Sazerac.
I can't promise you that completing assignment #43 will make you a smooth-talking crime fighter, but it may give you more soul. Today, you're going to Bosco's to drink a Shaft on Draft.
Even if the Grizzlies don't make all of their shots, you can still take yours. Assignment #31 is to do a pre-game Grizz Shot at South of Beale.
