3 Ways to Grit & Grind With Growl Towels

Memphis is without a doubt a basketball town. Residents of Memphis stand behind the Grizzlies and are extremely passionate about them...  especially during playoffs. Everywhere you go you'll see 'Go Grizz' signs, fans wearing shirts, and you definitely see Growl Towels. 

For those not in Memphis, a Growl Towel is to Memphians what rally towels are to everyone else. (but growl towels are way cooler I think haha)

When you attend a home game during playoffs, you receive a Growl Towel to wave and cheer on the Grizzlies. When the game is over, what are you supposed to do with these towels?

Here are a few suggestions:

1 >> Decorate your office - You should absolutely Grit and Grind (aka be a huge Grizzlies fan) outside the Grindhouse (aka the FedEx Forum)... especially at work. You might as well use these yellow towels to brighten up your office or cube.

2 >> Decorate your pet - Our four legged friends can Grit and Grind, too! Harrison (pictured above) loves the Grizzlies, especially Bark Gasol (aka Marc Gasol.... yes, I went there).


3 >> Give them to a fan of the opposing team to wipe their tears - just kidding... but seriously, I guess we could send a few to Golden State.


I've also seen people get extremely crafty with their Growl Towels. If you collect enough, you could make a blanket, or even sew two together and make a throw pillows! There was even a guy at a game wearing Growl Towel pants. Yes, pants. The possibilities are endless, but the essential thing is that it's definitely possible to Grit & Grind everywhere you go, and you should.


Go Grizzlies!!

Grit & Grind

It's no secret, this town is a basketball town. Between the Tigers and the Grizzlies, it would be hard to find a Memphian who couldn't have an intelligent conversation about basketball. I stitched up a few Grizzlies hoops recently and thought that if anyone would appreciate some Grizzlies artwork, it would be Memphians. People love this team!

I'm thinking of taking one of these to work to hang in my cubicle.

PS. They're now listed in my shop :)

The Best Plans

Sometimes, the best plans, are the last minute, unscheduled, complete surprise plans. Friday night, I was supposed to have girl's night but since some were sick, we postponed. I thought I'd spend Friday night at home cleaning (I had the itch to do a little spring cleaning). On my way home from work, I got a text from Jeremy.

"Wanna go to the Grizzlies game, tonight?"

So, an hour later, we were downtown walking to Fed Ex Forum to meet up with some friends who had some extra tickets. We hadn't been to a Grizzlies game since we first started dating! It was fun to be back. I forgot how much fun they were!!

If you're ever in Memphis, or if you live in Memphis and have the opportunity to get your hands on some tickets, I definitly recommend going. You don't have to be an NBA fan to enjoy a Grizzlies game. and of course, the best way to celebrate a victory is with some soft pretzels at the Flying Saucer.

Sooooooo, a big thank you to Angela for thinking of us :) We really had a great great time. 

  Did you do anything fun and unexpected this weekend?
