HomeSlice Pizza's 4th Annual Carnival-O-Pizza to benefit Austin Pets Alive!

HomeSlice is throwing a party to celebrate their 4th anniversary, and to benefit Austin Pets Alive!  I went to this awesomely fun carnival last year, and I entered the eating contest.  Though I didn't win the eating contest, I had a blast watching some break dancing and hopping into the Annie Ray Photo Booth.  If I hadn't mentioned it, I love Annie Ray.  I go to some events just to jump into the photo booth.
