Any pointers or tips for uninitiated?

We have Jazz Fest coming, but I will be in Memphis for some of that one. Standing next to a thousand screaming, sweaty people shoulder to shoulder, is not really my COT though.

Thanks for the offers ladies, but Daddy already landed the hottest gal in Arkansas or Tennessee. I will tell you this area of the world has some of the most incredibly beautiful women I have ever seen in my life. I am sure we could have had a great time. I was like a kid in a candy store last night--and yes I had lots of beads to give away to all my future ex-wives! Maybe next time?



What a blast!

I love the Muddy Mardis Gras!

Beale St. is incredible. I didn't bother going to Lee Park last night--London nailed the sweaty throng image perfectly--ICK! Watching it from a couple hundred yards away was just my cup of tea.



The real fun was to be had wondering the clubs and seeing the local artists play--wow this region has some amazing talent--and hot women. The barbecue was delicious. I think I may make a habit of visiting this corner of the world.

If any one else is here look for me near the Tap Room tonight. I will be wearing a bunch of red and white beads. There were three different blues gardens to sit back and enjoy the music in that block--and THE PIG is right across the street.

I am no longer looking for a hobby connection--she plum wore me out--but if you want to hang, drink, eat, listen to great music come over and ask me for some beads--I won't even ask you to show me your tits.



Maybe I will even invite you to share some libation:

Apparently, I chose to go to Memphis after the big festivals. It is my first visit, so I hope some kind heart will show me around the town!
I'm HERE!!!!

Woot! Woot!

I've done the festival a few times. a great time. You do need the boots lol. The first time I went I saw all these girls with rubber boots on...then it started to rain and I mean RAIN lol. The next morning I got myself a pair lol. Check out Wilco they play tonight.

Memphis is one of those cities where Monday night the crowd goes to this place, Tue that place etc. If I remember correctly Thursday night it's the Peabody hotel where the ducks use the elevator?

I definitely had a blast, though!! The James Govan Band is always my favorite attraction on Beale Street. They're so awesome!!!

And Daddy, you're not so bad yourself...candles, Godiva & massages... You were so great, I think YOU need a review.

The James Govan Boogie Blues Band was awesome.

The women in Memphis are simply beautiful. I love the tan legs and mud boots look--very sexy!

The food was fantastic. I plan to come back this summer, so if anyone knows of a great time other than May to enjoy the food and music at perhaps a smaller venue or festival, please post about it.

It doesn't seem like this board is much into throwing socials, but an impromptu blues pub crawl of like-minded people sure sounds like fun if anyone wants to go, I am game.

[PS@Ginger thanks for making my first Beale St. experience wonderful. As you know I am not a very big fan of writing public reviews, but if you need to send somebody my way for a vouch I will of course give them a glowing review.]
