Buy raffle tickets and you could be the proud owner of a hearse as we roll into November. Perhaps you can sell it back to Aldo to raffle off again in 2016 and then it will be a re-hearse.

Scammer alert: There is a woman with an oxygen tank who panhandles with children on South Main. I have seen her as far back as April, on the day of Downtown Olympics when she tried to panhandle me. People who live in the area tell me that this is a scam and she panhandles with different children from day to day. There are much better ways to help the homeless than giving her money. Consider donating to, or volunteering with, Hospitality HUB instead.

There is a Facebook event listing for the Sinners for Saints Ball Halloween party I posted about yesterday, so you can check it out and see which of your friends are going. It’s at Stop 345 on Halloween at 9 PM. PBR MAN will be there!

This will be the the final year for the Blues Ball, to be held October 24.

Holly has discovered Maciel’s Tortas and Tacos and agrees with what everyone else has been saying: The place is outstanding. (She has a copy of the menu in her post, so it is worth a look for sure if you haven’t tried Maciel’s yet and aren’t sure what to order.)

That’ll do it for now. If I learn of more news I will post after work. My plan tonight is Melissa Monday at Bardog for happy hour, then over to Blind Bear. Might wrap up the evening with a Pint Nite visit to Flying Saucer as well.
