This is the best entertainment that $15 can buy!  The price includes acts by 3 professional comedians and lots of good munchies.  The bar will be open with special “comedy night” prices of $1 each for beer or wine. 

I have been to these many times, and have never been disappointed.  Alisa, the Recreation Manager at LFII, does a great job setting these events up.  She will be putting the list of comedians up on her website soon, so check there if you want more details.   You can even buy your tickets online (but I’m going to save the handing fee by getting mine in person.)

This may sell out, so get your tickets early.  I will be there – please join me!

The history on this home is interesting – it last sold in February 2002 for $401,000 after 55 days on the active market.  At that time, the home had a wood shake roof, which was old enough that its age probably affected the final sale price (lower.)  Here is the photo used on that listing :

That buyer refinanced the home several times over the next few years, taking out cash each time and spent some of that cash on a new roof, which is mentioned in the details of the listing that was offered last year at $835,000 then later reduced $795,000.  There was no sign on the property, no lockbox, and to view it, you had to make an appointment with the owner, but there was no phone number to call the owner.   Not surprisingly, that listing expired unsold.  The photo below is what showed as the only photo on the MLS for this home that now had a new roof :

Today, that same house in on the market as an REO.  Knowing that banks don’t paint or landscape foreclosed homes, I’m now wondering if the last listing agent ever even drove by the home that he had listed for $795,000!  (Actually, since there was no sign or owner phone number, I am wondering if he ever had a valid listing!)  Here is the current photo provided by the bank’s agent:
