Sinners for Saints, MFM@TEN, vegan mac&cheese: Monday news

Two legendary Halloween parties are combining into one this year for a good cause. The past couple of years, the week before Halloween weekend a party called Nightmare on Main Street happened in the back room of Earnestine & Hazel’s. Then, the week of, the South Main Dirty Dozen Halloween party was at E&H. Both were famous for Jello shots and bad behavior. This year, they are combining into one at a larger venue. The Sinners for Saints Halloween Ball will take place on October 31, 9-3 AM, at Stop 345. Lord T and Eloise, DJ Witnesse and Lil’ Egg Roll will provide the music. Open bar with liquor, beer, wine, and Hipner’s famous Jello shots. Light appetizers will be provided. This is a fundraiser to benefit the Church Health Center.

I like it. Every year I sit around trying to figure out what I am going to do for Halloween. This year, my plans are made. I can’t imagine being anywhere else. Now I just have to come up with a costume. Last year I dressed as Ickey Woods (get some cold cuts) the Friday of Halloween weekend and a cougar on Sunday. I don’t know how I can top that.

Can you believe this is the TENTH year the Memphis Farmers Market has been in business? The Market is having a celebration called MFM@TEN at the Tennessee Brewery Sunday, September 20. Live music by Star & Micey, food, beer, wine, auction items. As the Foursquare mayor of the Farmers Market it goes without saying that I will be there. FRESH PRODUCE!

13 days until Lauren “LD” Dunn shaves her head for charity at the Bardog alley party. It’s Bardog’s 7th birthday and the folks there are celebrating by raising tens of thousands of dollars for the kids of St. Jude. They have a “baller board” you get your name on if you donate $100 or more.

As of the time this photo was taken, the Moody Ques were the only BBQ team represented on the board. Who’s gonna step up?

I downloaded a meme generator app on my iPhone. Here’s what I came up with yesterday:

All right. Time to do this “responsible adult” thing for 8 hours. Possibly back at lunch or after work with another post.
