Best of Jackson Party

Sunday we went with Carl, Rebekah, Shanean and Paula to the Best of Jackson party at Mardi Gras restaurant, sponsored by the local alternative weekly, the Jackson Free Press. The free food and beer were the main draw, but the local characters were a close second. One attention-seeking man wore a body-hugging gold lame' jumpsuit, another man dressed like Snow White, and a third dressed like a hung over Elvis. Dorothy from Oz was there along with some dread-lock bearing rastafarians. A blonde woman I'll call 'interesting' wore a t-shirt with the slogan "Hugo Chavez is not the enemy." The best food offering of the night was burgers from Cool Al's.
