In lieu of life slowly churning this past week, gurgling and glugging, slowly chugging toward some unknown faraway finish line, and my ability to tell you witty stories being somewhat stalled by the slow and steady pace I need to keep, I bring you (a list! of) some upcoming Awesomeness occurring in my neck of the woods:
Awesomeness, The First
Angella! is flying to my fair city (that would be Portland, for those keeping track) tomorrow to a) stay with me, b) see the sights, c) support her good friend Danny while his book tour traipses hereabouts, d) have her first Trader Joe’s Experience, e) all of the above.
Awesomeness, The Second
The aforementioned (Sir) Danny Evans will be reading from his new! shiny! first ever! book, Rage Against the Meshugenah at our most beloved Powell’s at 7:30pm this! Wednesday (that would be August 12th, for those keeping track). You should come. Yes, you. Come say “Hello!” And get your copy of the book signed. Or just have a drink with us afterward. (Because I said so.) Details are here.
Awesomeness, The Third
My dear friends Ian & Jenelle are, at this very moment, getting ready to welcome their first child from womb to hospital room, and if you could send some delivery mojo their way, that would be stellar, because Jenelle is (a super trooper, and) delivering au naturale, and, well, we are just all ready to meet this little guy. We see you in there buddy, time to come out so we can buy you ridiculous hats and shoes and get busy aligning your college football loyalties.
Awesomeness, The Fourth
Sizzle! will be trekking to Portland this upcoming weekend, and if you’re wondering what I did to deserve two amazing friends visiting in one week + new (and old) friends to (finally!) meet + getting to see a slew of Portland (and Vancouver) friends who are (already here, and) fantastic, I honestly have no idea. I’m just really really really excited.
You know what could be Asomeness, The Fifth?? You traveling up to Seattle next month to partake in a a weekend of debauchery, Seattle style.
Have fun this week, next time we are down in Portland we’ll definitely have to meet up!
Yes, I second what Andrea just said. Methinks it’s been waaay too long since you’ve been to Seattle. Come hang out! I miss you. :(
I love how you referred to Danny as (Sir) Danny. He’s going to run with that, you know.
SEE YOU TOMORROW. Awesomeness.
I’m sorry, I stumbled on the part where Angella has never been to Trader Joe’s. I’m so sorry, I’m a bad friend! I should have taken you when you were here, Angella!
Enjoy the visit and give each other hugs from me, Kerri! :-)
Oooh! I will try to see if I can make it to the book meetup thingybob. I don’t know any of the other people going, but hey, you are nice so they must be nice too, right? Yes?
SO JEALOUS! Have an awesome time! Which I know you will!
Wish I could be there with all your AWESOME! friends!
If I wasn’t already coming on Friday I would so be there with you guys on Wednesday. I’m so glad you’re having a great week ahead of you!
Can I get in line? :)
I have never been to Trader Joe’s either. canadians miss out on everything. sigh. I wish I could be there to hug both you and Miss Angella.
