Allison points out this write up on Pop Dust…

Lil Jon: Rapper, producer, vocabulary expander, fashion innovator, reality TV show contestant, and now, state-recognized philanthropist. From his work on Season 11 of The Apprentice (also known as Celebrity Apprentice 4), Jonathan Mortimer Smith raised a cool $80,000 for his charity of choice, the United Methodist Children’s Home (UMCH). For his contributions—his “unyielding commitment to raise money in support of children and families” and his “passion for advocacy and outstanding commitment to empowering [the] community,” as the official document states—the county of DeKalb, Georgia has deemed the date of May 24th, 2011 to be “Lil Jon Day”.

Scott Drake also alerts us to AccessAtlanta’s photo gallery of Lil John’s visit to United Methodist Children’s Home in Decatur.

Here’s Michelle’s recap…

Prom was a great time- lots of fun outfits (blue tuxes, a few original prom dresses and a Billy Idol mullet wig!), fun dancing, good eats (thank you U-Joint!) and plenty-o-beverages (thank you Victory Brewing and U-Joint!). Prom King and Queen shared stories of mistaken wasabi-for-guac and manliner with lavender dinner jackets, and there were the obligatory conga lines and Electric Slide. Best of all, we raised over $1,400 for Decatur Education Foundation! Thank you very much DecaturMetro and DM readers for your participation- you all are the best.

Oh and did I ever mention that based solely on a DM comment, Kristin was featured in a The Times (London) article about adult proms recently?  They’ve got a pretty intense paywall, so you’ll have to read the full article in this PDF, but here’s the first paragraph to wet your whistle…

In the town of Decatur, near Atlanta, Kristin Leydig Bryant and her friends are preparing for the prom. There will be punch, a DJ, a ball room with garlands of crepe paper decorations and a photographer on hand to record this significant moment in their lives, as they stand with their dates on a white bridge strung with balloons.
