Halloween costume ORDERED! Gonna keep it a secret for now, but in a couple of weeks perhaps I will drop a hint or two…
As you know, I will be spending Halloween at Sinners for Saints Ball at Stop 345. Huge party, multiple rooms, beer, wine, Hipner’s craft Jello shots, Dead Soldiers, Charvey, Super 5, Dj Lil’ Eggroll. The only minor gripe last year was many people were not happy with the way the costume contest was run. Well, one of the organizers, my good friend Katie Mac, has announced that she will personally be in charge of the contest this year. That is all I need to hear to endorse this party one hundred percent. $40 in advance/$50 at the door (but it will probably sell out in advance) with proceeds benefiting the Church Health Center.
Ready for some fall fashion? My artist friend Sarah Dalesandro has autumn leaves leggings for sale in her Etsy shop.
Happy to see that my friend Mandy Marie is back on happy hour shifts at the Blind Bear. Mandy also teaches classes at Painting with a Twist out in Olive Branch. Mandy’s likes include dark chocolate, peanut butter, and red wine.
Congratulations to my Arkansas Razorbacks on entering the Top 25! The Hogs are 24th in both the AP and coaches’ poll following Saturday’s victory over TCU.
A woman who won free pizza for a year immediately donated it to a homeless shelter. Kind gesture indeed.

Been getting trolled on Instagram? The photo sharing service is rolling out a tool that can help. It will block comments with a default list of keywords it considers offensive, and you can add words of your own that you don’t want to appear in your photos’ comments. It’s a shame we can’t be civil to each other so tools like this aren’t needed. Dont’cha just hate those crazy trolls?
That’s it for now, off to lunch. Happy hour location undecided as of yet, with Max’s Sports Bar, Bardog and Blind Bear all under consideration.
