Vanishing Act

My apologies if this is your kid. I stole his pirate photo from google images in egregious disobedience of copyright law. The pirate connection makes it truly ironic.I'm getting sick and tired of everyone I bump into asking, "Hey Paul, when are you going to leave town already."

I can tell when I'm not wanted. So I'm leaving. Next Wednesday morning, the 29th begins your reprieve from Paul Parent, social marauder. Before I drive east into the morning sun, however, we will party like, like --- I don't know, like a bunch of people who are ready to party and send a bombastic lunatic off to certain torture in North Carolina.

We're sticking to the tried and true formula that has brought the ukazu crew success:
dinner + drinking = cuoco making farting noises
dinner + drinking = jrod crying into a pair of borrowed panties
dinner + drinking = alex complaining about dinner and drinking
dinner + drinking = paul sitting around fat and satisfied.

So, on with the nonsense:

Dinner
Tequila Grill [MAP]
7:00 pm
RSVP, one way or another.

Drinking
Mickey's Hangover [MAP]
9:00 pm

It all happens Tuesday.
Simple.

My Spider Sense says "Movie and Dinner"

You're graduating, you graduated, or you're done for the semester. That's right, you're Grade A Certifiable Badass and it's time to reward yourself for a job well done.

Tonight, we dance!
(picture me, rose in teeth, sliding across the dance floor in tight black pants -- brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrpp! *record skips*)

Alright that's enough tomfoolery for one e-mail. We're gonna go see Spiderman (NYT Review). Kinda early. Then later, we're going to Western Pizza (MAP) for some wicked pizza made by Canadians, eh. And drinks. The Canadians pour beers (yah!) and mix up some liquors too. Full bar, ya know.

Who: Members Only. Hahahahaha... wouldn't that be a change! No, this one's open for everyone, as always. Bring a friend, bring your mom, just leave your salamanders at home for the love of pete. You know who you are.

What: "Cel-e-brate good times, come on!" A movie and dinner. No, not dinner and a movie. If it were dinner and a movie you'd want a goodnight kiss, and I can't just give that sugar away now, sweetheart.

Where: Spiderman at Harkin's Centerpoint 11 on Mill Avenue at 7:00pm. Western Pizza on the south-east corner of 48th street and Indian School (MAP) after that. We moviegoers should be there shortly after 9pm.

When: Uh. Today, dude. See "where". I got overzealous.

Why: This always seems the most straightforward, though when I find out that people stayed home or did something stupid instead, I often attribute my failure to the "why". So seriously this time -- why? Because you like seeing movies during prime time -- it's not so late that the seats are sticky and not so early that you walk out of the theater into daylight. Also because you like Western Pizza. And if you haven't been to a movie theatre or Western Pizza, then goddammit, you crazy Quaker, we're going out on the town.

See you tonight. Call me if you need directions, a good spanking, or emotional solace. Of course, if it's a real emergency, call 911.

Graduation Celebration

PARTY!!

Well the time has finally come. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. The shit has finally hit the fan. The green eggs have reunited with the ham. No it's not the end of the world, just the end of my college career.

In celebration of five years of wasted brain cells, I'm having a party and the Ukazu clan is invited to join the celebration. Come have a beer. Dance a jig or two. Sit back and bob your head. Just come, have a good time, and kick a few back and reminisce good times.

What: Gabe and Chey's graduation party
When: Friday May 10th
Where: Mesa Centennial Center
Who: You ukazu clan

Directions:

Take University east past Country Club. The next light will be Center St. Take a right (south) down Center and it is immediately on your left.

201 N. Center Street


I hope to see you all there!
Revolution!

TexAss party at Axis/Radius

The TexAss party is this Friday, May 10. If anyone has been looking for an excuse to throw on the ol' Wranglers, Daisy-dukes, cowboy hats and chaps, this is your chance. I am going to reserve a table for anyone who wants to join us.

There is no cover before 10:30, reduced cover ($5) from 10:30 to 11, and $10 for the rest of the night so you can plan your time and/or budget accordingly.

P.S. If you're still not convinced, they're getting a mechanical bull. Yeehaw!

Lauren Time

We're having a happy-happy-birthday-party for Lauren this Friday, May 3rd.

I know it's a busy week, but by Friday you'll need a little break to relax and soak up something besides the inside of another book. So come out Friday to party and congratulate Lauren on her 22 years of girly-girl-ness.

We're meeting at Martini Ranch at 10pm to fill our eyes and ears with something new. You might want to move your feet a bit. You might want to drink a little. You might just want to sit and grin for a while. All these things have been known to do a body good.

I'll see you out.
