Tree Party Invite
Knoxville, TN/December 2001

Tie one on our Christmas tree ...

Who: The Benz and Edge's
What: Our 12th annual Christmas tree desecration party, in which assorted stooges put homemade, stupendously cool decorations on our unsuspecting evergreen. We have only one rule: You CAN'T buy the decoration. Also, remember that children are invited to the party. Ornaments should be rated "G" or "PG."
Where: 11517 Hardin Valley Road. I-40 to Campbell Station Road exit. North on Campbell Station road until it Ts. Go left at the T on Hardin Valley Road. Our house is exactly 1/10th mile on the righthand side of the road. We'll have it lit up, but watch closely. It can be tough to spot.
Or if you prefer, head north on Pellissippi, take the Hardin Valley Road exit, then head west (toward Pellissippi State) for 2.4 miles. The house will be on the right. Map? Lost? Call 691-7731.
Important: If it is raining the night of the party, park at Sims store. You can't miss it. It's on the right as you head to our house, next to Hardin Valley Elementary School. We'll be running a shuttle to the party to avoid a repeat of last year's parking swamp.

When: Saturday, Dec. 8 at 7 p.m. Children are welcome.
Why: Why not, wise guy?
How: Make your own decoration. We'll have beer, Spiney's infamous margaritas, non-alcoholic beverages and vats of steaming green chile. Extra beverages and/or food will be welcome but aren't required.
