Received info about a few more Halloween parties Downtown and wanted to pass on the details.
– Saturday the 27th there will be a party at Itta Bena, on the 3rd floor of BB King’s on Beale, to benefit Methodist Healthcare Foundation and The Med’s sickle cell research program. Minimum $20 donation. Starts at 10, light hors d’ouevres 10 to 11. VIP tables are available, call 258-0777 for more info.
– On Halloween night Big Foot Lodge will host its 3rd annual Big Foot Halloween Bash from 9 to 3. SNAP 94.1 in the house, costume contest with $300 to the winner and huge prizes for 2nd and 3rd, $2 34 oz. Big Foot Coors Lights. Unlike other bars and clubs that jack their entry fee to the moon for Halloween party weekend, there is NO COVER at Big Foot. I’ve said it before and will say it again – you can always count on Big Foot to throw some of the best parties Downtown has ever seen.
– Earnestine & Hazel’s will host the 22nd annual Hell On Earth party Halloween night. Spend a rock n’ roll Halloween with the Subteens, Dan Montgomery, Johnny Lowebow, and many others. If you just want to rock out and don’t want to deal with a crowded nightclub atmosphere that night, this may be the choice for you.
So, here’s a summary of what I know that is going on each night. In parentheses I’ve listed the likelihood that I’ll be at each of these parties.
Friday
Private party at apartment building (definitely)
Club Atlas inside Jillian’s (no)
Hollywood Disco aka Raiford’s (probably)
Saturday
Flying Saucer (definitely)
Dan McGuinness (most probably)
Itta Bena (wish I could, but don’t have time)
Raiford’s (maybe)
Mpact Memphis/Arthritis Foundation Bone Bash at the New Daisy (no)
Wednesday
Big Foot Lodge (definitely)
EP Delta Kitchen (probably)
Hell on Earth at Earnestine & Hazel’s (no)
Will most likely also make an appearance at the Saucer even though it isn’t their party night.
