I'm a maniac...maniac...

That title has nothing to do with this post, but TGIF is SO overdone.
It IS Friday though, and I had to go enter a plea this morning - cocaine possession & criminal trespass. We are planning to go to the Rome High School football game tonight. However, we've also been invited to a little fundraising/support cookout thing for a guy that is running for local election - and it's family friendly and there will be food there. It starts at 6:30 and the ballgame won't start until 7:30. I think we can swing both?

And tomorrow is the Annual Rib Cook-off in Rome. If you're local, you should come on out - it's out at the Shanklin-Attaway Recreational Area - out in Armuchee past the mall. Call or email me if you need directions. It starts at 3 pm. Good food, good music, good company (hey, I'll be there! with C & C Music Factory in tow...)...And one more thing for local folks - if you like beer and if you want to support the arts...you should come out to the 1st Annual Beer Festival at Heritage Park, next Saturday, September 20 from 1-5pm. You can purchase tickets ($25/each or $10 for Designated Driver tickets, which they're also selling at the door...) online at www.forumevents.org. The proceeds are going to benefit RACA (Rome Area Council for the Arts) - good cause, good beer, good times. For a mere $25 you get a glass, and the opportunity to taste 50+ different beers from local microbrews to international beers. What a deal! Look for me there!

So, it should be a fun few weekends of fall. I am hoping someone has some football on at this rib thing because you know, I still can't watch TV at my house. But, I've been checking the polls...Fun times!

Y'all have a good weekend. Call me if you need something to do. ;)
