Alright, I suck. We’re going back in time a week.

The first time they ran Free Comic Book Day I was in college, with enough idle geeks in my environs that I could justify organizing a trip to all of Manhattan’s major comic book stores. This hasn't been feasible for awhile, and this time the comics wound up being incidental to the mission of

Friends at our age getting engaged/married is weird. My friend and jr year roommate Warren is 2 and change years my junior and I will be serving as his best man the end of June.

The show is called Sunday, there is a day of the week called Sunday. The responsibility to point out the potential confusion in a way likely to elicit a chuckle or shared knowing "ahhhh." by saying something like "See you at 1:30 at Sunday on Saturday, er... yes..." fell squarely on your mother's shoulders. Letting it pass without comment seems all but inexcusable. That said, good luck changing your ticket, and I'm glad you had a nontrivial amount of theatrical fun, this mishap aside.

Did you, by any chance, happen to catch the 4 character play Providence? Small run in the city earlier this year. Had something very meaningful to say about loss.

See, the problem is: you've moved from college and being surrounded by idle geeks...to The Industry where geeky is good (certainly encouraged), but idleness doesn't survive.

You need to find idle geeks again. And fast. Because apparently they are all getting engaged. Next, it will be children. That will freak you out more than people your age getting engaged; being introduced to their spawn.

Consider yourself humored. More importantly, best wishes on the roommate thing.

Busy week--no wonder you got a few days mixed up!
Empanadas--good ones--rock.
Man, I haven't been to a play in ages!
The Oscar shorts things sounds like fun.
Do you feel sufficiently humored? :)

Why wouldn't your parents try calling you before showing up at the apartment?

I missed a play once because I totally spaced on the date and I didn't even think to try to get it swapped for some future show. I'll have to try that next time.
