Welcome to The Spot, a weekly NYC e-zine published by Funk This Entertainment, Manhattan's premier event planning company.

That's right, you heard it here first: The Spot is finally going bi, bi-monthly that is. You can expect many more events, stories and various oddities in your mailbox every other week, and we are about to unveil our roster of columnists. If you have an idea for a column or any general feedback, please don't hesitate to e-mail us.

We also apologize for sending out The Spot a day late for a very good reason: our e-mail provider was having issues with Hotmail and Yahoo.

Tickets to our Halloween Ball at The Puck vanished quite early this year, and the procrastinators can't stop calling. Just another affirmation that we aren't joking when we say quantities are low. For the 4,000+ people who will join us next Saturday, we'll see you at the party!

Our holiday party venues are quickly filling for December, and there is still time to make last minute plans for your company's party...

The Good Stuff

Ads To Go: Take a look at this fine Sega commercial for its newest video game, Football Manager 2005 (AdRants). And no, you don't have to be a video gamer to enjoy it...

Men's room advertising. Here to stay? We're not talking about posters folks.

Money: We hear that Donald Trump was finely roasted at The Friars' Club 100th anniversary. The line of the night came from funnywoman Susie Essman ("Curb Your Enthusiasm"), who recalled her first meeting with Big D: "I wasn't your type. I'm smart, my breasts are real and I speak English."

Happenings: Take some time to relax this weekend, with 2 days of Spa Week remaining and $50 treatments around Manhattan.

Smell good. It's Fragrance Week next week. We can't wait to sample the Wall Street cologne.

Head over to The Museum of Sex to educate yourself with their newest exhibit, Sex Among The Lotus, kindly sponsored by Tiger Beer. A $5 discount is available until November 7th.

TV: Top 10 Sitcoms of The 90s, kiddies And the The Dukes of Hazzard are finally hitting the big screen; on board are Burt Reynolds, Willie Nelson, Johnny Knoxville and Jessica Simpson???

A quick note on Charlize Theron's dog. She's a fox too.

Music: On Tuesday, Peter Gabriel will finally release a DVD anthology of his legendary videos, including "Sledgehammer" and "Big Time." The set has been re-mastered in surround sound. Here's Eminem's "Just Lose It" video, in case you haven't enjoyed the experience of Michael Jackson's nose on the floor just yet.

World: So the people over at the Madrid Masters decided to replace the good ol' tennis ballboys and ballgirls with models. Not a bad idea! Training, as you can imagine, was far worse than expected. In Guatemala, policewomen and prostitutes squared off in a sizzling soccer match.

Tech: This device would've been useful during Game 7 of the ALCS. For Yankees' fans, that is.

Head to Head Jon Stewart (again!) vs. Tucker Carlson How old are you? And you wear a bow-tie??? See the video for yourself!
