Details on the big fight!

So....my favorite person ever is going to make his public debut as a fighter on Nov. 8. A lot of people have said they'd like to be there for Tyler's fight so here's the details (You in NO way need to feel obligated to come but I'd love to have you cheering along with me.)

Nov. 8, beginning at 7:30 p.m., Val Air Ballroom. Tyler is the 4th fight. It's a Muay Thai* event - some pro bouts, some amateur. More details here.

Tickets on the ground floor cost $20, 30 or 40 apiece at a table for 10, if you buy in advance. We are planning to get a couple tables and group Tyler's fans together so let me know if you wanna go. We realize the tickets are pretty pricey and completely understand if you can't make it.

The event is put on by Tyler's coach Pete and his gym. It's an all-ages event. There will be food and drink available for sale.

* Muay Thai is a martial art from Thailand. It is not a fruity drink. (that's a Mai Tai!) A form of kickboxing, athletes use the hands, shins, elbows & knees for punching, kicking, kneeing and throwing elbows. MMA fighters (such as in the UFC) are often trained in Muay Thai for the standup portion of their sport. If you've watched 'The Contender" on Versus, you've seen Muay Thai.
