In the mailbox

Before I get started:  I have two extra tickets to Big Foot Lodge’s invitation-only birthday party tonight.  BFL Buffet, music by DJ Bobby Smith, $2 “you call its” 6 to 7 PM, then $2 34 oz Coors Light, wine, and well drinks until 1 AM.  If interested shoot me an e-mail at paul@paulryburn.com.  I’ll wait a couple of hours to gauge interest, then award them.  Tickets will be handed out on the basis of 1) cute females; 2) friends; 3) first come first served, in that order.  I’ll send the winner my cell number and they can call me when they get to Big Foot and I’ll walk outside and hand them the tickets.  I’ll be there not long after 6.  Note:  I have TWO extras.  So I can’t get more people than that in, sorry.  It isn’t like BBQ Fest where people can bring an extra dozen friends and expect me to get them in the tent.

Heh… if everything is $2, maybe I’ll make a trip to the bank at lunchtime to get a stack of $2 bills to hand to the bartender, my former BFF Meghan, when I order.  Coming up with new ways to annoy her is one of my true joys in life.

So I ran home on a break from work and checked my mailbox, remembering that I ordered a new debit card about a week ago (my current one is cracked and I’m surprised it even still works).  Found lots of other interesting stuff too – I only check my mail once every couple of weeks because I’m lazy.  For one thing, I found a letter from the Peabody containing 2 VIP passes good for the remainder of the rooftop party season.  Cool!  Free admission and free drink ticket.  I guess I’ll have to start going.  I’ll have to find someone to accompany me this Thursday and use the other VIP pass, too.  Got 3 days to work on it.

Not sure if I got that because I’m a blogger, or because I joined the Peabody rooftop’s group on Facebook.  Whatever the reason, thank you!

I also got a gift box from Camel, the cigarette company.  I opened it up and it contained a gift certificate for a pack of Camel cigarettes.  “Expires 4/30/08.”  Hey, that’s just great.  They sent a non-smoker an expired coupon for a pack of cigs.  What a bunch of idiots.

Looking forward to the Big Foot party tonight.  Wonder if Big Foot regular Mendi will wear a tube top, as she did to the restaurant’s 1st birthday party, which was the night I met her now that I think about it.

Looks like they’ll also be doing a Canada Day celebration June 29, a week from Sunday.  More details on that to come.
