There’s some beautiful weather out there!! Ugh, after a succession of warm, sunny days we’ve completed a week of gray skies and massive downpours. I don’t know about you, but once I hit the third of fourth day I begin to feel like I’m living in The Crow except with less gang violence and the ability to transform into animals. I’ve watched way too much canned television on the E! Network, the yard’s flooded, and everyone is getting antsy and a bit depressed. Sigh….
That being said we did have a successful weekend as we wrapped up our invitations. This process began on Friday night when we met our calligraphy dealer in the lobby of the Holiday Inn to make the pickup before she jettisoned back to Aruba. Bethany and I both packed heat and in a scene straight out of Casablanca we entered the hotel to the sounds of a 70 year old security card explaining to a group of twenty something concierges the technical aspects of Shemp, Joe, and Curley Joe filling in during Three Stooges shorts. Priceless. I used my letter opener to sample the product and we left as satisfied customers with a nice buzz.
Saturday morning we closely examined our merchandise to make sure we hadn’t been taken for a ride. There’s nothing like opening a box and smelling pound after pound of 100% pure paper stock and then sealing envelopes off a hooker’s ass. Now that’s a good night in Tokyo. We were shocked to discover in our own wedding induced euphoria that we forgot to carry a couple of ones on the thirty ninth version of our address list and needed to make a couple of adjustments. But with our dealer already lying on a beach what were we to do? After a quick unshowered team meeting in our pajamas we decided we still needed to get these fine 5 1/4" x 7 1/4" envelopes out on the street ASAP because our beepers wouldn’t stop going off.
We quickly organized our invitaion laboratory and began sorting through our ingredients to make sure each package received the right amount of reception information, response cards, and miniature envelopes. And as I’m sure you all know, if you don’t place everything in the envelope facing the right way there’s hell to pay as the etiquette police will sniff you out and we’re doing 15 years for illegal distribution. It goes without saying that’s a long time to think about placing a stamp upside down.
After a couple of hours we completed our task, removed the lab coats (Patriots sweatshirt), and raced though a driving rain to our local courier (code name USPS) to send what we had out there for Saturday night.
Enjoy and please let us know if you have any questions
