Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Sep 27, 2017

Filling a need:

Sick of the sugar hangover you get from the Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks? Great news --now you enjoy all that autumn goodness with a real buzz, instead! Yep, the geniuses over at Canada's Lucky Bastard distillery have outdone themselves with limited edition Pumpkin Spice Vodka that features 35-percent alcohol by volume. It'll set you back just $26-bucks.(Lee)

Bid'ness is Bid'ness:

The world is going crazy for scary clowns. Case in point, this story out of Texas.
Hurts Donut shop in the town of Frisco has hired a creepy clown to deliver donuts to customers. The clown, who strongly resembles PENNYWISE from STEPHEN KING's "It," is making the deliveries leading up to Halloween. The shop posted about it on Facebook, along with the caption: "Who did something rotten to you that totally deserves this?" Hurts owner KAS CLEGG says, "We always try to keep up with the trends, and clowns are trending right now." (Still)

On, off and way-off-Broadway:

The "Harry Potter" play is headed to Broadway. The New York Times says the London West End production of the two-part "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" begins previews March 16th, 2018, at the newly renovated Lyric Theater. Opening night is set for April 22nd. Tickets go on sale October 18th, but you have to register with the Ticketmaster Verified Fan process, beginning October 1st.

Looking for love in all the wrong places:

Well, if they ran out of anything, they were right there to restock! SUE BERKELEY and ELI BOB, of Australia, werevery excited to become husband and wife. And planning their wedding was easy, too!
Location? Their local Costco! Berkeley said, "I've got a big family and so does he, and I wondered how we were going to do it. Then I thought I should get married at Costco because I'm there all the time --so it just made sense. They got married under an indoor trellis adorned with flowers, next to tables covered with white tablecloths and scattered rose petals.Guests ate pizza, hot dogs, bulgogi rolls, fountain soda and wedding cake, all of which cost around $10 dollars per head.
