Holy cats!  I can’t believe it’s time for another Jazz series! Once again, we’ve got some awesome talent lined up for your listening pleasure: Legendary local Jazz ensemble “Gradual Lean” will kick off the series, then it will be one rockin’ act after another until we wrap it up in March! There will be no cover charge for regular Tuesday performances, and we’re pulling out all the stops for our 5 day Mardi Gras celebration! Arrive early for lounge seating or get there late and listen from the bar.

That’s right everybody, we have two more upcoming events:

1. October is Breast Cancer awareness month, or as we like to call it, “Save the Ta-Ta’s Month”. On Thursday, October 22nd, the Business Community of Avondale Point is hosting a “Pink Party”. Coming out that night accomplishes two great things: All businesses involved (they have pink ribbons, boobs, etc painted on their windows) will be donating a portion of proceeds to the Susan G. Komen Foundation to fight breast cancer; You also help support our local neighborhood businesses. If you’re in any doubt about how special our little corner of the world is, with it’s collection of bars and restaurants, boutiques, salons, and professionals, please drive around Mt. Pleasant, Summerville, or any of the new housing tracts out by the dump
2. Thurday, November 12th: Garage Cuban Band makes their triumphant return to West Ashley! Last time they played for us we couldn’t have fit any more bodies into Voodoo, and the folks that were there witnessed a fantastic Jazz Concert. Those of you who have seen them before need no words of encouragement to come out, but if you’ve never heard these guys, listen up: GCB is five young guys from Charleston who sound like 5 old-timers from Havana who learned to put Michael Jackson and Patsy Cline songs to an afro-latin beat and sing through a megaphone! The effect is spectacular and is our favorite and most talked about show of the season. Not every band member still lives in Charleston, so we take our GCB shows whenever we can get them all together in one place! Don’t miss it!!

Lastly, look for our Thanksgiving Turkey Give Away, coming in late November.

Boo! That’s right people, it’s time for Voodoo’s 2nd annual “Elvis is Alive” Halloween Bash! On Saturday, October 31st, We’re busting out all the fake cobwebs we can find, re-animating everyone’s favorite shock jock, DJ D-Rock, and scared to death of our new professional emcee- Amy Hutto, of the late 98X (R.I.P. local radio).

Our blood-letting, er…  bar-tending staff will be whipping up some ridiculous concoctions for all of you to enjoy, and you know we love to pull out some good cheap drinks and shooters at our parties! For those of you who don’t fill up on candy before you get there, Chris and the kitchen staff will be knocking out some ‘killer’ food specials.

We will have two categories in the costume contest this year: Best Elvis, and best Elvis Inspired. So come as young skinny Elvis, old fat Elvis, vampire Elvis, or a very scary peanut butter, banana, and bologna sandwich. Do it well and you’ll be taking home a wad of cash and a bunch of Voodoo fun-tickets.
