I have forgotten that R.E.M. is Saturday night. Hmm... R.E.M. or Bulldogs with the
old mates? It's a tough one. I might have to figure this out. Sorry about
that, I just forgot.

From me:

You FORGOT R.E.M. was Saturday night?

I think that pretty much answers your question.

Seriously, I do not know what the world has come to.

Completely understandable. Normally I'd be right there with ya (IF I could get tickets). But I took Donna/Emmett to the Lucinda Williams show and that seemed a little too rockin' for the infant so I think R.E.M. would be a madhouse. Although it sounds like an incredible tour filled with hits like Country Feedback and such. I'll just say that I didn't set the date for this one. I don't know what they were thinking going up against a Bulldog game AND R.E.M. It's like they're trying to thin out the ranks...

If you want to call on your cell from the show we'll give you Bulldog score updates.

It must be the end of the world as we know it. Although the main reason I'm attending is Joe, not the Bulldogs. My loyalty lies in friendship and comradely, not in pop music or football rivalries.

So there.

Exactly!

(They do have ESPN2, right?)

Yes, thank you Reed for giving my priority system a much needed kick in the
pants. I apologize. Again.

    Okay, so, I spent the day of the evening of the not-shower thinking of comebacks with which to hit Reed if (and when I say "if," I mean "when") he grieved Chris about his questionable friendship loyalty over the Dawgs and R.E.M. (They were easy -- Reed isn't a big college football fan, he didn't have tickets R.E.M, and on the subject of friendship loyalty, where's HIS to his BEST FRIEND Chris?) And then I spent the early evening of the evening of the not-shower driving around trying to find Donna's sister's friend's house, culminating in a bit of a panic since the not-shower began at 7:30 and kickoff began at 7:45 and it was getting dangerously close to 7:45.
    And when I arrived, after walking past the catering van and into the beautiful house with elegant silver settings and chafing dishes and candles and wine and basically the looks of a really REALLY nice wedding reception, I realized that a red and black college football game was really going to stick out uncomfortably. And when I saw the game on on the huge television set in the middle of the party area, I was in awkward discomfort -- even moreso when some big guy asked me if I wanted the game on and suspiciously asked me what team I was pulling for. "Georgia," I quickly forcefully replied without thinking, and then he was all welcoming, and I suddenly felt much better that this tasteless viewing box wouldn't suddenly arbitrarily get shut down in favor of the party.
