After the Berlin Wall fell on November 9, 1989, houses and government buildings along its east side were left vacant. In nearly any large city, such a situation leads to occupation by one of two groups: the homeless, or artists. In Berlin it was artists.

Tonight is the DVD release party for Memphis Heat, the slam-bang documentary about the glory days of of Memphis professional wrestling. It's a phenomenon that didn't start in Memphis, but which reached its pinnacle in the Mid-South and spread out from here to conquer the world. You know, kinda like rock and roll!

If you missed it in the theater, now is your chance to see this great example of a 100% made-in-Memphis movie. Check out my original review which ran on Live From Memphis when the film opened in March. The DVD has tons of extras and outtakes which you can consume at your leisure. So head out to Central Barbecue tonight, or if you can't make it to the big celebration, you can always order online and bring the fun home.
