Last day in Memphis

Wanted to go to Mud Island yesterday, but it was closed. Bummer. Instead I went to all the must-sees downtown like Beale Street, the Peabody Hotel, Sun Studio etc. I will visit the latter again today for an actual tour and Ashley says that I can even stand where Elvis once did. Wow (that's supposed to be slightly ironic by the way). She's taking me to Jackson today, but I can just make the tour.

She also took me to a thrift store yesterday where I spent ten bucks and got a t-shirt, a blouse, a dress and a skirt. Ten bucks! That's so crazy. While we were there I told her about my church experience in Oklahoma, and she told me that once she was one of the stout believers. I know you haven't met this girl, but you would definitely not be able to tell. Today she can't stand any of that stuff, and I think it made her feel good to hear that I couldn't either.

In the evening we both went to the Hi-Tone and saw this lady called Scout Niblett. I'm so happy I went. That music was so amazing. It's been a long time since I had such a good live music experience. Scout Niblett rocks all the way, and I'm definitely a new fan. Besides the Hi-Tone was everything I thought it would be and I'm just glad I went.

I'll talk to you guys later. Jackson calls and if I want to get anything done, I better get going. Don't want to miss that car ride...

  1. I saw a woman in the Walmart parking lot (of course) a couple weeks ago wearing a tshirt that says "iPRAY". And right before that I was driving behind a person with an Alabama liscense plate (of course) with a bumper sticker that said something like "Obey the Ten Commandments".

    Yeah. Christianity is a crock of shit.

  2. Hummm, I'd like to talk to Manda about that last comment. I don't think she knows us
