Invitation

You presence is needed: Where will you be Saturday June 14th? If you don’t know its time to make plans to be in Seattle. We are having a joint birthday/MFA completion party for Mandy and me. I think both Mandy and I would prefer to not be the center of attention so with this plan we can both say the party is really for the other person. Let us know – it’s only a few weeks away.

Capitol Club frat party? So last week was the first nice Friday of the year and we tried to get out on the deck but there was a line of 14 people well before 5. Mandy noted that it looked a bit like the group should be at a frat/sorority party, not on Capitol Hill. They filled the outside so we went to 611. As we were leaving we ran into Terry and Rebbecca (Ann’s friends that you know) going to 611. Terry noted that stopped going to the Capitol Club. “It’s become a little frat party over there”, he said.
Then I get an email on Monday from a mother of a former student asking about the Capitol Club because she has thought about going and wanted to know if I knew the place.
So now we have frat boys, sorority girls and suburbanites. What's next, Republicans?!

What else? That’s about all I can think of. Other conversation has been somewhat sad, and/or serious and/or too personal to put up on the web. You’ll just have to get back here.

Question Answered: Do we watch the Kentucky Derby? No way, we only drink the appropriate cocktail for that weekend.

Oh it's just so sad...the loss of Capitol Club. What are they thinking? Do they actually want those people there? Yuck. I'd rather go to a dive bar with stuffed wildlife on the wall and Budweiser beer in rural America than sit with that group.

So we would love to be at the party but we will be up in Winthrop at that time so we'll have to send our birthday wishes/congratulations over the phone. We should be back in the house July1 and we can't wait to see everyone over the summer. What are the summer schedules for everybody?
