If I wanted to eat fish for breakfast, I’d have been born in Japan.

i am soliciting ideas for what to do at a bridal shower. xsgirls and i are hosting a shower for xshub’s niece who is getting married in June. Shower is april 5. tiny shower, only 5 girls plus bride invited, so less than 10 of us total. Our theme is April in Paris and it has been fun planning that aspect, and i have the menu planned. But we are wondering how we are going to spend the time, when not eating and opening the few presents. Anything that involves dispensing advice is out, as i will be the only married one there. we don’t want LEWD games either, soother. any ideas of things that they have seen or heard of being done that aren’t too lame or inappropriate would be appreciated. i haven’t been to a bridal shower in close to 30 years myself so....

I saw Dave’s reply to you about SXSW - what is amazing about the festival or gathering or whatever you want to call it is the growth of the thing! It really has become something that everyone who thinks they are someone in the arts goes to! We saw little updates each night on tv and Lady Gaga was there, sports stars, Jimmy Kimmel had his show from there all week. Beiber did a surprise set at a club. Pretty crazy for one of the smaller “big cities” in Texas

Including whacked out rappers who ram their car into people.
