It’s been four years (almost) to the day since we’ve all been together. This is a grievous situation that needs to be rectified. However, rather than Linda Wertheimer, our very own **Southern Yankee** is hosting the third (Much More Frequent Than) Annual Waxhaw Pub Crawl. This is a very fun event that supports the local businesses in the Waxhaw area. And did I mention it’s fun? I understand the bustling metropolis of Waxhaw may be a little out of the way for [del]some[/del] most of you, but it is a lot of fun (detect a theme?). Best of all: you get the chance to watch Southern and Mrs Yankee sing karaoke. It’s always a good show. Unlike when I sing: That’s classified as a war crime in several countries. T-Shirt and and beer hugger sales support [Project2Heal](http://project2heal.org/), which raises and trains Labradors to be service dogs and companions for children with special needs. Here’s the schedule: > [@](#): > > We begin at Main Street Grill/Icehouse Saloon (201 West South Main Street Waxhaw, NC 28173) at 5:30 PM. The entire parking lot will be roped off for us and Twelve Mile Creek will be playing an acoustic set for our listening pleasure. > > At around 7PM, we will walk over to Maxwell’s Tavern (112 East South Main Street Waxhaw, NC 28173), which has the entire back patio area reserved for us. We’ll hang around to approximately 8/8:30PM where we’ll then cross the tracks over to SouthSiders (113 East North Main Street Waxhaw, NC 28173), where their newly expanded space will host the Rachel Garcia Band. > > At around 9:30/10PM, we will make our way up Providence Road to Waxhaw’s newest bar, Sonny’s Sports Place (203 N Broome St, Waxhaw, NC 2817). This will be our shortest stay as we head over to the Stuffed Olive Bar and Grille (1201 North Broome Street Waxhaw, NC 28173) at around 10:30, in time for karaoke to kick in. Here, things really get fun and zany. If you’re interested in singing, get yourself on the list early as it fills up quickly. Don’t be shy about belting out a tune. Jym, the DJ, will also spin lots of tunes to dance to, as well. > > We look forward to seeing you there, and hope you make it with us to the very end! ETA: The Crawl is this Saturday, October 8. ---

Thanks for the plug! Just a few corrections, good sir: Saturday, October **6**. This year’s charity is actually a local food bank called The Waxhaw Co-Op. (Project2Heal was last crawl.) There’s no charge to join the crawl (except what you drink, of course,) but all proceeds from t-shirts and koozies go to the Co-Op. ---

I looked at my calendar and saw a six, I thought, “six”, and I still typed **8**. ---

I would totally drive up if I weren’t going to be elsewhere for my bachelorette party. ☹ ---

I would, but we’re going to my matron of honor’s beach house for the weekend and that’s a bit of a long haul. 🙂 ---

Aw, crap. Sorry y’all! Work wasn’t especially tiresome today, but it appears to have wiped me out. Hope it’s a good time! ---

UPDATE: We wound up raising $1629 for the local food bank last night. Good fun for a good cause! **Maus Magill** and his lovely bride certainly did their part!
