Absolute Blue Invitation 3/22/13 - 3/23/13

Absolute Blue's Hope for Pope

Get out your Pick-A-Pope cards to see if you're a winner! Simply look in the 'Jesuit' column and the 'Latin' row. If you see 'May Have Conspired With Corrupt Regime' you win! Of course we're kidding. After all, it was just a popeularity contest anyway. But seriously, we have no doubt that our new pope will rule with honor and keep new and future Catholics engaged. Mostly to each other. And don't forget to pick up your souvenir Vatican necklace, or Pope on a Rope. Really, though, we have assembled even more fun facts to help you with this tumultuous transition of theological power, before the Vatican becomes the Vatican't:

Known for his penchant for public transportation, Pope Francis is being considered for the Patron Saint of exact change.

Even the remnants of the papal fire were treated with respect. After digging all night, Vatican officials carefully placed them in the ash hole.

His popeness bats left, throws right.

Chose his name not for Assisi but for Sinatra.

Is selling frozen treats on a stick in the shape of former church officials, called popecicles.

Also marketed a series of blessed Toaster pastries, called Pope Tarts, featuring a variety of flavors, including brown sugar Sin Amen.

So there you have it. A veritable Popeurri of fun facts and outright lies...

This weekend we get things started with a Friday evening at The Avenue in Viera from 6 to 9...

Then Saturday we return to Squid Lips from 7 to 11...
