Hangin’ in Memphis

Posted on 28 Jun ’10 by Nikki Murray

Memphis is a great city, especially if you love blues. If you’re familiar with New Orleans, Beale Street is like the PG version of Bourbon Street: excellent food and great music but no b00bies. I had a great time, and the absolute best barbecue (and pancakes) that I’ve ever had in my life.

breakfast at Li'l Anthony's
waiting for our food took a while because Dominique made sure it was the FINEST food they were serving
the attempt to eat two pizza-sized pancakes begins
capacity reached
sausage and biscuits
I cannot believe I ate all of this
hmm
something bad happened here
inside the infamous Sun Records building
50's style texting
waiting for the tour to start
the faces that made Sun Records a hit
instrumentals
where the magic happened
an old and out-of-order Pepsi machine on the premises
that guitar is a replica of one of Elvis'
a historical landmark
bbq at Pig's (B.B. King's bbq was better)
the only photo from the Gibson factory because they suck and don't allow photography inside
lunch at B.B. King's blues club
the band
a show I'd love to see
Bangkok Alley. Heh.
last night on Beale Street

    My name is Nikki Murray and I’m a mother of two who has been buried neck-deep in code since 1998. I presently work as a user experience and interface designer for a health IT company during the daylight hours. When I’m not freelancing during my off hours, I am prowling around with a camera or recklessly maneuvering needles.

    Also me:
