Bradoween 3D

This year's Bradoween celebration promises to be the biggest and best yet. Before the official invitation came off the presses, the Bradoween Steering Committee heard of likely guests from such far reaches as Orlando, FL, Atlanta, GA, and Washington, D.C.

Bradoween 3D will have all of the food, drink, and events you've come to expect from the annual celebration. However, this year, expect more surprises.

Without further ado, the tentative schedule of events for Bradoween 3D:

Random Icon Appreciation: One of the basic tenets of the Bradoween celebration is RIA. Your hosts and friends will provide random icons for you to appreciate throughout the evening. Scheduled to appear: Mogoo, the disembodied Chatty Cathy Doll Head; Count Chocula; various inebriated News 4 personalities.

Brad-o-lantern Contest: Once again, we will award prizes for the best Brad-o-lantern of the evening. If you're not familiar with the contest, here are the rules:

·Guests are encouraged to bring a Brad-o-Lantern to serve as an homage to the traditional jack-o-lantern and their oft-inebriated host.
·Brad-o-lanterns may be any kind of melon or gourd, but may not be a pumpkin
·Brad-o-Lanterns must incorporate some sort of alcoholic beverage container, empty or full.
·The Bradoween Steering Committee will judge entries throughout the night and make an awards presentation to the winner or winners around 9:30pm.

The Photographer Footrace: Bradoween will again feature the most highly anticipated main event of the year. Last year, it was the beer can shuttle run. Two years ago, it was the "see who can run the fastest while eating and/or smoking" sprint. This year, a new take on the Photographer Footrace. Runners to be announced the evening of the event. Event is scheduled for 10:00pm

Field Aptitude Tests: This event was such a hit last year, we've brought it back for an encore. Beginning at 10:30pm and lasting until our test proctors are tired of it, Bradoween will offer Field Aptitude Tests (aka FATS) to anyone who wants to test their skills and agility against their insobriety.

The Challenge (pronounced-Shall-AHNJ): NEW THIS YEAR! Details to come the night of the event (but suffice it to say, if you were privy to an earlier unsanctioned event called The Drunk Olympics, you've seen something like this before).

Food: Again, the chefs at Mt. Willis will provide light fare on the heavier side. Have a light meal or snack before you arrive, but come hungry. The menu will certainly grow between now and then, but expect: Brad's Big Balls, Crab Peppers, Southwest Eggrolls, Tortilla Roll-Ups, and much, much more.

Drink: The benefactors of Bradoween will again provide draft lite beer and select liquor drinks. Feel free to bring any drink you wish, as long as you're willing to share. ALSO NEW THIS YEAR…That Bar at the End of the Yard, AKA-Brad's Bar.

Guest List: Remember, Bradoween is a celebration meant for everyone. Children are welcome and can be assured of being relatively safe until the late evening events begin. Invite anyone you like. Bring anyone you like. Bring some people you don't like and see if you like them by the end of the night. RSVP's are not required, but they would be appreciated so the chefs can decide how many balls to whip up.
