Mystery Cafe is now producing a new show, that I am dying to see, American Homicidal!  American Homicidal is a hilarious, family friendly spoof of that “Idol” show on TV, you may have heard about.  Not only do you get to enjoy a 3 course meal at Elephant & Castle Restaurant, but just like the TV show, you’ll be treated to some terrific solo and ensemble vocal performances…and one or two not so terrific ones.

Now you have a chance to win tickets to the show!  If you think that Simon or Paula may have overlooked your stellar talents, then now is your time to shine!  The Mystery Cafe is announcing their “Sing Your Heart Out” contest for Valentines Day!  Click on the video below to see the contest rules and reply with a video response of your own to win tickets for the American Homicidal dinner & show at the Elephant & Castle for 2 and an overnight stay at the Club Quarters Hotel.

So everyone, here’s your chance to shine!  And while you are looking for your ticket to Hollywood, enjoy a dinner, show and a night out on Mystery Cafe!

They really go above and beyond. And this month, in celebration of Earth Day (April 22, 2008) Clevergreen is collecting clothes for donations. From now until April 27th, you can drop off your clothing donations at any one of their three locations and they will dry clean and deliver them to Planet Aid. So everyone, get to your closets and do some well overdue spring cleaning! This is not only a great way for you to take part in protecting our environment, but you can also make room for that new spring wardrobe!
