Maxwell _____ has sent you a private message

Today I got a link to take a survey from FanIQ:

Maxwell B has sent you a private message
Click to read message
Please read it or Maxwell will think you ignored this :(


The link takes me to the FanIQ site to compare myself to Maxwell who says "Hey, this quiz was fun - do it so we can compare."

Interesting, but I don't think it was for me.

Recipe for Your Fried Chicken

I wonder if you would be kind enough to share the recipe for your Fried Chicken Breast, Plugra Butter. My last time in your place I did so enjoy this dish. I too far away to come more often.
Thanks,

Gerald ______


That does sound good doesn't it :) Too bad I don't have a recipe

Working on a Peace Corps story for The New York Times Magazine

Eric,

Glad you hooked up with Charlie. As I look over his email below, I now remember that he can sometimes overwhelm with info way beyond (at least in my case) my level of comprehension. I hope what you got out of him was helpful and not a waste of your time.

CLN Speaking Date

Dear Eric,
Well at last the CLN board met on Thursday and we are ready to offer you a choice of dates to come and talk to us. You have your choice of either Sunday, May 31st or Sunday, June 7th. It was decided that the venue would be in a private home---one with a nice garden so we could spread out, weather permitting. The time will be 2;00 to 4;00 with light refreshments. We invite you to bring your books for signing and purchase and, oh yes, your wife if she is so inclined.
Question; Are your trips to the kitchen for creative or noshing purposes?? If the former--bring favorite recipes.
I'll look forward to hearing from you.
Blissfully,
Lois

Bence's Bachelorette Party!!!

Hi Everyone!!

As our favorite bride-to-be prepares for her wedding, we'd like to throw her a bachelorette party in NYC! I know we have a few months... but we are very limited on the available dates. Brenna and I discussed the possible dates with Lauren, and the only one that seems to work is Sat. May 30. I know that's not going to work for everyone, but I'm hoping that most of you will be available and ready to party! So, if you are free as of now... please hold onto that date if possible. I apologize for anyone who is not available, but it was the only time that will work for her :(

She gave me this list of people to invite and I think I'm still waiting on a few email addresses from her. If there is anyone else you think she would want to come, please let me know so I can forward this information.

I asked Lauren if she has any requests for the night, and she said- good food, drinks, dancing and spending time with all you guys! She's soooo excited!!!

Here's our VERY tentative plan: Depending on who is able to come, we may get a hotel room in the city to preparty and play drinking games (and then anyone not from the city can have a place to crash that night).... then maybe a fun dinner (sushi/all you can drink place, Mangia e Bevi, etc) and then out to a fun dancing club/bar.

Please let me know if any of you have ideas on places we can go to eat/dance or any other fun activities!!! Also, let me know if you think you'll tentatively be available for the festivities.

Thanks all!
Lauren and Brenna

(Sorry this email is so long)

PS--- to all the Buffalo girls, GOOD LUCK with your matches!
