Memphis Weekend
I got my culture fix in Memphis this weekend. I went to an art gallery showing "Things I found at Thrift Stores", a frame shop with a few pieces of real interesting art, a lamp store with hundreds of strange lamps and a rug store that sold intricate imported Asian rugs. Plus I ate delicious hummus at a Mediterranean restaurant for lunch and Spicy Shrimp Sushi for dinner. One of these times I might actually check out the nightlife on Beale street.
I also found the perfect wooden box for my latest project. Apparently the town of Batesville has an embargo on little wooden boxes because I searched high and low and couldn’t find anything. But with my Memphis box, I spent Sunday afternoon and evening making a Mad-Scientist Lamp.

Dude, the lamp is cool. Now all you need are some bunsen burners and beakers and spiraling glass tubes piping purple liquids all over the place. The would just be sweet.
