I'm having a birthday party and inviting ~~total strangers from the internet~~all my close friends from SnS (among other places...it won't be a total Sausage Fest.)

If you're so inclined...

Friday, August 7th
starting at around 7 in the evening...

Eighteen Twenty Bar
1820 Franklin Avenue
Houston, TX 77002

Stop by, watch the Astros and commandeer the jukebox...and maybe buy me a drink. Everyone is welcome.

Look. I only need to know two things:

Are there gonna be tits?
and
Do I get a radio show out of this?

Holly · « **Reply #2 on:** August 04, 2009, 09:15:46 am »

That's the one right next to Joystix, right? And I think this is one of the two unlimited gameplay weekends there, too.

Might swing by with the kiddo and husband

Which would you prefer, a mojito or an appletini? Maybe a wine cooler?

There will be 23 tits. And I still don't know why they ask me to be on the radio, so I don't know how to get you a show.

The worst part is, some Wikipedia yahoo compared her to David Bowie. Yeah, she reminds me of David Bowie the same way Miley Cyrus reminds me of Merle Haggard.
