LOCAL Party in Hell Planned for 6/6/06

from CNN

They're planning a hot time in Hell on Tuesday. The day bears the date of 6-6-06. And there's not a snowball's chance in Hell that the day will go unnoticed in the unincorporated hamlet 60 miles west of Detroit.

Nobody is more fired up than John Colone, the town's self-styled mayor and owner of a souvenir shop. "I've got `666' T-shirts and mugs. I'm only ordering 666 (of the items) so once they're gone, that's it," said Colone, also known as Odum Plenty. "Everyone who comes will get a letter of authenticity saying you've celebrated June 6, 2006, in Hell."

Most of Colone's wares will sell for $6.66, including deeds to one square inch of Hell.

Live entertainment and a costume contest are planned. The Gates of Hell should be installed at a children's play area in time for the festivities. The gates are 8 feet tall and 5 foot wide and each gate looks like flames, and when they're closed, it's a devil's head.

Radio stations as far away as San Diego and Seattle have been raffling off trips to Hell in honor of 6-6-6.
