Of course, tonight Patti will be chatting with Melissa Etheridge at her Dennis Kucinich fundraiser, but at the bar it will be Grilling Time! Those of you who can't affort $250 to meet Melissa, come on over and get $1 burgers and 50 cent hot dogs!

Tomorrow, Tacos and Trivia! Can you think your way to winning a $15 bar tab?

Friday, it's Karaoke with Jammin' Ginger, and a week from Friday, it's a special fantabulously spooky Halloween Party with the Jane Deans, who are too cool for ghoul school. There will even be a costume contest!
