I can’t imagine a more splendid way to frolic and dine on the first day of our tenth month in twenty eleven. I raise my glass to these fine individuals who have taken their time to think beyond themselves and offer the public a chance to give back while throwing back. Much Success and Many Cheers! Hip-Hip Hooray!

I would love to go to an event that supports mental heath issues. I have struggled with depression for most of my life and so it would be great to be a part of something like this. Plus, I’ve never been to a ball and being a female, I’ve always fantasized about what it would be like to go to one. :)
September 22, 2011 at 19:51
Mental Health is a cause I believe strongly in, and this sounds like a great way to get people involved and supporting a worth cause. Plus it sounds like a ton of fun!
September 22, 2011 at 19:51
oh my god, i so need this.
September 22, 2011 at 19:53
Man, that sounds awesome! I’ve needed an excuse to be this fancy for quite a while…
September 22, 2011 at 20:00
Yes please–it sounds amazing–I’ve been working on a project for days it ends on on the 30th I would love to celebrate at the bootleggers ball!
September 22, 2011 at 20:20
This sounds like a great time! Pick me please!
September 22, 2011 at 20:33
This event is going to be amazing! I have already pledged my support to the event and purchased a ticket. My friends are on the fence and I want to win tickets so 1) I won’t go alone and 2) to show them how awesome it is to support events like this!
September 22, 2011 at 21:15
Ooh! let the food, fun AND money flow for Trillium Family Services. Let’s support this worthy cause.
September 22, 2011 at 22:00
A good cause and good food, what other reasons do you need?
September 22, 2011 at 23:02

September 22, 2011 at 23:44
my girlfriend’s birthday is a couple weeks after this, but i’m hopeful i can pass this off as her gift. (okay, i’ll have to give her a little something on the actual day-of, but damn if this wouldn’t be a killer precursor!)
September 23, 2011 at 00:44
I’ve been looking for an occasion to dress up and the food sounds amazing.
September 23, 2011 at 00:48
It would be a night of historical memories!
September 23, 2011 at 01:12
I work in the food industry and with mental health awareness. This event would let me enjoy both my passions! This is worth taking a Saturday night off work!
September 23, 2011 at 08:06
Oh please! I would love to go and I’m job searching right now, so $75 is a lot. I’m in nonprofit work and would love to go meet people there, and, of course, enjoy great food and drinks!
September 23, 2011 at 08:20
This sounds like a fantastic event. I’ve got a girl, a suit, a bow-tie, a liver and the stomach; now I just really need the tickets.
September 23, 2011 at 09:01

September 23, 2011 at 09:24
This would be a great way to kick off the weekend, after a long week of school and work. Sounds like an awesomely fun event.
September 23, 2011 at 09:59
We used to have Scooter get shine from “The Rev” growing up in Memphis – it was very complicated. Shake out your spangles! It’s dancing time. If you need to practice before the event, check out the weekly sunday night swing dance at the Scottish Rite building downtown.
September 23, 2011 at 10:27
The Bootleggers Ball, I’ve got stories from last year and would love to make more. Please and thank you!
September 23, 2011 at 11:32

September 23, 2011 at 15:46
Sounds like a great event- for a great cause. Winning tickets would mean I’d have more $$$ to spend on the silent auction!
September 23, 2011 at 17:37
I am a bay area foodie wanting to enjoy my roots.
September 23, 2011 at 19:38
I would love to go to this event with my husband as we generally don’t have the ability to be apart of fundraising events like this and would love to be able to do our part and meet great people in the process!
September 23, 2011 at 21:23
sounds like a swinging good time, count me in… Please
September 23, 2011 at 21:38
This event looks money! If I get picked I promise I’ll bring a hot date and we’ll be the first to get things going on the dance floor!
September 24, 2011 at 01:38
Better have your boots on your legs for this one!
September 24, 2011 at 09:01
Services for the youth in our community can always use a big boost!7 thank you for recognizing the need and figuring out a way to help!!
September 24, 2011 at 09:34

September 25, 2011 at 16:30
I dream of speakeasys, cigarette holders and feather headware. Also I’d love to support Trillium Family Services with my presence even if I can’t financially.
September 26, 2011 at 00:39

I would like to go to this function because mental illness on my family members have impacted ny life greatly, and like to support good causes that affect nearly everyone in our communities.
September 27, 2011 at 18:26
Need to get my swing on. Hook a brotha up!
September 29, 2011 at 18:22
My mother taught me to Charleston when I was a kid. For her 80 birthday many years ago all of the daughters and granddaughters wore flapper dresses and feathers in our hair and danced it for her. It would be fun to go and dance the Charleston again.
September 29, 2011 at 20:54
I would love to go to this!
September 30, 2011 at 10:02
Sounds like a fantastic event for a wonderful cause. And it sounds like bourbon may be involved so…
September 30, 2011 at 10:10
I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t end up with a flat tire at this gin mill.
I’ll get an edge and check out the hotsy tostys.
Daddy and his dame shall represent.
