Congrats in order

Congrats to t! who is now t!+ when he got hitched on the weekend to the lovely ai731. It was a fantastic and memorable celebration and I was proud to be in attendance.

At the reception part, I got to catch up with a couple of old friends, including Mr. Mann with whom I used to do radio plays. I would love the chance to do those again, so it was fun to talk about those old productions with him (and he bought a copy of my book!).

The rest of the evening was spent singing and dancing, both to live music and recorded music. Guys may dance like dorks, but no one said it isn't FUN to dance like dorks.

We stayed up much later than expected, so Ms. Carotte and I suffered the next day when we headed out to St. Jerome to check out the new LARPing land. It's a beautiful piece of land, but very hilly and there are no open spaces. Consequently, any battles that take place will be small skirmishes rather than open battles.

I'm also expecting a bunch of twisted ankles.

Freakout the FutureShop Guys

For the amount of times that the Future Shop staff has screwed me over and pissed off my friends, I would love to pull off this prank in one of their stores (or several of them):

The Improv Everywhere Mission: Best Buy

The thought of a BestBuy employee running around yelling "Thomas Crown Affair!" makes me giggle.

And the stunt they pulled off at the Strand Bookstore begs a repeat performance at a Chapters bookstore somewhere in Montreal (they had 60 people leave their bags with their cell phones inside behind the counter in the shop and then synchronized another 60 people outside to call those phones at the same time).

Ooooh... my mischievous gears are grinding...
