"Oh you were gone? I didn't notice... but come to think of it there has been a lack of boring, verbose, and pompous crap" - Kara on why Brandon should have stayed gone
John, Linus and I road-tripped to my opening night on Saturday. On the way back, we stopped at a corner liquor store so Linus could get his preferred hooch on the way to my birthday party. While John and I were parked, I happened to glance at the building next door and see the above sign.

The show opening actually went better than I expected. Linus and John went to Bar Louie and had wings and nuggets before the show. John accidentally avoided a toll on the way there, so we are wondering what the ramifications will be if he doesn't contact the toll people. I'll do a more complete review of the show in my journal.
The party was fun. Lots of people came. Linus and I got drunk and danced around after almost everyone else was gone. When people send me pictures, I'll post them. There should be some pretty amazing action shots. I ran into a metal table and now have a huge bruise on my thigh.
Linus drank an entire pint of Jack and most of a bottle of Makers. He then did battle with one of my birthday balloons. Linus is kind of awesome when he's drunk.
I later insisted that I needed to go to bed and be served ice cream. I think Linus was getting a ride home at that point anyway with one of Jeremy's friends.
Jess came and everyone sang happy birthday to us. Jill came and brought her dog inside. Jake pretended to be offended, but then when no one was paying attention to him, he played chase with Sprocket.

This was in January. I haven't heard anything from them yet. But now that I have remembered this and written it down, the letter about it will come in the mail this week or something. my post has stirred up the cosmic powers and I'll be in trouble about it or something. shit!
