When: Saturday, May 19, 8:00pm

John Ryan is one of Memphis' finest artists, but his right ankle has deteriorated to the point where he can hardly walk. He is scheduled to have it operated on at Campbell Clinic in the next few weeks, but for three months afterwards, he will be unable to move around much and do the carpentry and other odd jobs with which he supports himself. So we're having a party to raise some funds for John, and to have some fun.

John has painted a 6' x 4' "horse painting" that has been hanging at Jarrett's restaurant for a few weeks. The price tag is $10,000. The $25 admission to the NWAM Party gets you an open bar, music (with DISCO BALL), and a raffle ticket for a chance to WIN the painting. If you want to buy more tickets and increase your odds, well, that would be great, too.
