Friday Night Fights

Check this out from the Times-Picayune...
Just when you thought the Friday Night Fights boxing matches couldn’t get any more macho, founder Mike Tata has arranged to send in the Marines. The Friday, Nov. 9, event, known as the “Devil Dog Dance,” is a tribute to the 237th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps and is free to all past and present Marines. Just show your discharge papers, dog tags or USMC tattoo and the folks at the door will waive the $20 admission. There’s even a place for future Marines. Tata, who served in the corps from 1980 to '86, has arranged for a Marine recruiting booth to be set up onsite. He said he plans to make it a permanent feature.
“You get drunk at Friday Night Fights,” he said laughing, “the next thing you know you’re in the Marine Corps.”
Read the whole thing...but its an interesting tool.
