Hey hey, Mister E!
Yay! I'm so excited!! I've set up a Picasa album for my Memphis pics so you guys can see the other Memphis places I've visited.
So, let's see here. What can I say about The Pyramid, other than what you can read on Wikipedia? Hmm. My first recollection is one that'll probably ring true with other Memphis 20-somethings: The Wonders series. I think it was Catherine the Great. It was so amazing the first time I got to stand at the base of this giant, glass structure surrounded by Egyptianesque statues. It was so shiny!
The last time I went in The Pyramid was for my college graduation in 2002. In the past couple of years, its been in a countywide tug-of-war as to whether it should be turned into a giant Bass Pro Shop with a seven-story hotel (I'll find a mock-up of that and post it -- it's hideous!) or a theme park. Looks like no deal will be final until long after I'm gone.
The arena is effectively abandoned, which means it's dark at night. The gates are no longer manned, so I drove right up to the base, parked my car under a bridge and snapped a few pics from that spot.
Again: Yay!

impressive indeed
and pretty quick too
do you want a break
or another clue?
let me know the next step
in this wicked game
each place that you get right
brings u closer to my name
I know it was fast
And I know that I shine,
But as the clues get harder
It'll take me more time.
So no break is needed,
I'm on a roll --
Things might slow down
But I've an eye on the goal.
As far as the game goes
You call the shots;
I'm at your mercy
But I want photos -- and lots!

Then don't worry
don't even fret
by Thursday afternoon
a new clue you will get
a little bit harder
but not so much
that you need a friend
to be your crutch
this is a place
where one man gets the fame
but its just too big
for all to know your name
like a beacon of hope
as people pass by
these stand firm
to remind you of why
a man should be on each side
of this superstar
hanging out in the weather
as you look from your car
members or not
you're welcome indeed
but it's really a place
where you're expected to believe
Good Luck...
