Fundraiser at Callahans for Emily Rose

The Mira Mesa Women’s Club is sponsoring another fundraiser for Emily Rose Bare this coming Monday March 3rd at Callahan’s. The Bare Family needs our help. Their daughter, Emily Rose Bare who is nine years old was diagnosed with Cancer on January 2008. She has Osteosarcoma (bone cancer) in the left arm and it has spread into her lungs.

The family does not have medical insurance, so the Mira Mesa Women’s Club has taken it upon themselves to help raise money for the family. They have teamed up with Callahan’s Pub & Brewery this week and are having a fundraiser on Monday March 3rd from 3 PM to 11 PM. All you need to do is bring the attached flyer with you to Callahan’s between those hours on that day and 15% of your purchases will be donated to the club for Emily Rose. Lee Doxtader and Scott Stamp the owners of Callahan’s will also honor the flyer at their other two restaurants, San Diego Brewing Co. and Jose OReilly’s. So if you know anyone that lives close to those restaurants, please let them know about the event.

Top 10 Guy Movies

New week, new list. I was talking to a friend the other day about being punished into watching “Beaches” one time by an old girlfriend. This lead me to either write about the ten best guy movies of all time, or the 10 best chick flicks of all time. The fact that I am a dude will sway the vote to list my 10 favorite guy movies. Here they are:

1. Caddyshack
2. Animal House
3. Blazing Saddles
4. Pulp Fiction
5. Godfather (part 1, part 2)
6. Starwars (the first one issued, volume 4 in the series)
7. Fast Times at Ridgemont High
8. Brave Heart
9. The Usual Suspects
10.Shawshank Redemption

Now, I know there are far too many great movies to stuff into a top 10 list, but I used as a guideline movies that I could watch over and over again, or they had such great quotes that I still use them frequently. I can’t think of another movie that used Fresca for an ad placement than Caddyshack. That’s just awesome. “How ’bout a Fresca, hmm, huh?” Ted Knight is my hero. Have fun with your list… I am looking forward to Jennifer’s 10 best chick flicks ( or feel free to list your favorite guy movies!)
