Halloween weekend has been all over the place. First we started with Charlie’s 6th (!!) birthday with his fantasy gift, Super Mario Wii. In some ways Mike is as excited for this as Charlie is.
We also had a slumber party with 3 of his friends which was a riot. There was minimal drama and a great time was had by all.
When it was bedtime (10?) I was able to slip out to “Disco-ween” over at Paris On Ponce (what a great venue! LOVE that place). This was a a benefit for Canine Companions and the costume theme was 70′s disco. The theme didn’t matter to my pal Jake who dressed up as “Born This Way” Lady Gaga.
He had to leave early to go to “3 other parties” (natch) otherwise he would have totally won. I know you’re wondering what I’m dressed as–and the answer is nothing. I know, fail.
Saturday I was invited to moderate a fan panel of AMC’s Walking Dead at the Cobb Energy Center (the CDC on the show!) They had a whole scene set up with zombie dummies, the real trailer from the show and more. We had dave-fm listeners who were invited along with the 20 winners and guests from around the country. They had several of the stars on site and I will link the photo gallery and videos on dave.fm from it later. Until then, here are some iphone zombie pics.
Thumbs up! I’m alive.
These are some of the extras from the Casting Couch from Extras Casting Atlanta! They are “walkers” from the show.

The national winners were treated to tickets to the sold out Jay Z/Kanye West show at Phillips Arena after the event. There was an extra pair of tickets and the AMC people gave them to us. Since I’m around V103 so often I surprisingly knew most of the songs. I really kinda loved it and it was a totally different experience than a rock show. We had incredible seats which made it even better. I’m not sure I’d pay to see these guys again ($250 a ticket!) but I’m glad I can check these hip hop gods of my concert bucket list.
Actually my favorite part of the show was the fashion! Bags, shoes, glitter, tight Herve Leger bandage dresses, hair, make up, I could go on. I wish I had pictures of some of the looks but that would have been totally weird. ”Hey! Can I take your picture you look fabulous!” Actually, they may have liked that. Oh well.
Next weekend you’re going to hear me on the radio urging you to donate to Children’s Healthcare Of Atlanta. This is a cause near and dear to the radio station and pretty much everyone in Georgia. If you have a kid or you know someone who does–you know how lucky we are to have this here. Learn more about our radiothon at dave.fm—but starting Thursday you’ll hear a lot more from me about it
