Can anyone confirm this rumor: One last Raiford’s party?

Last night I met one of my regular blog readers as I was walking down South Main, and he told me a very interesting rumor: Raiford is planning on having one last big party, to say good-bye. The party would NOT be held at his old building, but at another location downtown.

I’ve been given a date and location, but I’d like to get it confirmed before I post it to a blog that several hundred people read. Also, will the event be open to the public? If not, can an invitation for a certain downtown blogger be arranged?

More details to come after I get confirmation on this.
