Wee ha!

In what will probably be a futile attempt to connect with people in town for this weekend’s gigantic blog event, Wendy and Joey’s wedding, I’m calling for a dim sum outing on Sunday, September 25, at 1 pm at Chau Chow City, 83 Essex Street, Chinatown. Friends, Romans, countrymen, ye mateys, family, etc., etc., can hoist their sails with ya. And if ya don’t come, you’d best we walkin’ the plank, now, ya landlubber. AAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh.

If you can join us, please comment below or pass me a yummylittleyellowswirlythingie.

Afterward, enjoy some Apple Crisp, since they play from 3 to 7 at Faneuil Hall.

Geez, looking back, we only went out for dim sum like twice last year. Didn’t we used to do this all the time? What happened with that? We need to have more fun! Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!
