I love living in Austin. I love being able to run into people I love in the weirdest of places.

We need to have a dinner out again soon.

I'll be gone next weekend but maybe the Sunday after that?

That's freakin' awesome, Wil. Harry Jr. is a damn fine man, musically and look-ily too.

Cool! Congrats, roadie extraordinaire.

Too bad you couldn't say you touched his organ, though.

that's so gay.

working tomorrow night on the load in for west side story. and again on the weekend for the load out.

i have to say....it's just freakin' cool to see the stage from the back side out to the house. hoping they'll eventually let me bring camera gear along as well. i think it'd make for some cool shots.

So. I have great memories of making Easter baskets for the group home kids when I was younger (my parents have always been big into the foster home/charity thing) - coloring eggs and putting together baskets for kids who wouldn't have anything else; thinking about how it would brighten their day.

If I found an Alzheimer's home, or a group home nearby, would you want to come the Friday before Easter and help make little Easter baskets for them? Probably a couple dozen or so. It's something I'm thinking about doing this year, maybe throw a little thank you to the universe or whatever for all the good stuff that keeps landing in my lap. Besides, I like to color easter eggs, and it is so much more fun with a purpose and a bunch of people.

Yay or nay? I'd have the eggs, basket makins, jelly beans etc.
Trying to see if it's worth talking about having peeps over (hee get it, peeps?) Send me a PM or text if Yay. That would be Friday evening, Apr 22.

Yes, we could spice it up with some Wii and Fact or Crap or Cranium and adult beverages. Duh.
And of course, you know this house wouldn't have people over without also offering a buttload of food (that's a nice image, huh?) this time around, it'll probably be ordered in, not homemade.

i'd be happy to help. i like an opportunity or two to toss good stuff back to the universe. i'd also be willing to make and bring some dessert type stuff. we sure don't need to keep all that here at the house...but i sure like making it.

lemme know what else i could do to help. my only disclaimer is that i'm in if i don't have to work that night.

If there is any way I can shift some hours around, I'm all over this. What a fabulous idea, Pup!

I googled Buttload Of Food in the images.

I sooooo do not want to know why Nicolas Cage shows up. Nope. Don't want to know. Going to my happy place now. lalalalala

I think eggs like that are made naturally, right?
And too bad about the Friday thing - but next Saturday thing....I'm out of wine, just sayin.
