6/23/2009 - Party Like I'm Someone Else

Ok, I've been invited to a birthday party for a one year old, going on the FROM e-mail address, it is somewhere in Stanford, CT. Don't live anywhere near there, don't know anyone who lives there. This e-mail also has one of those entertaining disclaimers at the bottom. Maybe someone shouldn't be using their office e-mail account to send out this type of correspondance. I'll also point out how inconsiderate it is to wait this long before sending an invitation to a party. Maybe they are just fishing for gifts.

Here is the inbound message:

Hi,

We are having a small 1st birthday party for Wyatt on this Sunday (June
28). Hopefully the rain will stop by then!

Come by after 2.

We'll have some burgers and hotdogs.

Let us know if you don't think you can make it. Hope to see you then ,

Maureen

No, don't think I'll be removing this message. Too entertaining. More to the point, blogs are places expressly for not keeping comments to yourself.

How was the party?
