Actor's Express and Dad's Garage Halloween Party @ Eyedrum Gallery 8p
We're throwing this monstrous bash because we're theatre people and Halloween's a great excuse to get in costume. No, but seriously - this event functions as a fundraiser for both theatres.
Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance for $25. Includes unlimited drinks with each ticket and all the ghoulin' and carnival games you can handle.
The party will be catered by La Paz (Southwestern faire). There will be a raffle with items ranging from massage certificates to unique furniture pieces to airline tickets; carnival games, kissing booths, tattoo booths; live music; special guest appearances by Hedwig (Mark Salyer) and Matt Chapman (creator of Homestar Runner); and our personal favorite-we are auctioning off a date with each of our Artistic Directors, Sean Daniels and Jasson Minadakis. Use them any way you wish!

Atlanta Falcons vs. Philadelphia Eagles & FalCAN Food Drive @ GA DOME 4:15p
The Falcons will host the Philadelphia Eagles at the Georgia Dome for the first time since the 1998 Super Bowl season when the Falcons defeated the Eagles, 17-12. The Eagles ended the Falcons 2002 season last year with a 20-6 win the NFC Divisional Playoff game at Veterans Stadium.
The Atlanta Falcons are helping to sack hunger again, and you can help! The sixth annual FalCAN Drive is scheduled on November 2, 2003 when the Falcons take on the Philadelphia Eagles at the Georgia Dome. Fans bring canned foods and non-perishable food items to the game and help beat hunger with the Falcons and the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Volunteers will be collecting the items on Falcon Landing and other well-marked locations surrounding the Georgia Dome. Did you forget your cans? Wives of the Atlanta Falcons will be collecting monetary donations inside the gates of the Georgia Dome. All proceeds will to be donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Through your support, the Atlanta Community Food Bank will help their 700 nonprofit partners feed thousands of children, seniors and adults in need. There are over 1,000,000 people living in poverty in Georgia. That is over 14 sold out games at the Georgia Dome! The Atlanta Community Food Bank provides almost 14 million pounds of food a year to non-profit organizations feeding people in need. Every dollar given to ACFB can help create six meals for people in need - the FalCAN Drive helps tremendously! The ACFB relies on community support for storage space, equipment, services and supplies.
