Man, I have the coolest friends ever. First I emailed my buddies S and D about my upcoming visit back to Arkansas, and that got me an invitation to a star party.
Then I emailed another old friend, and she wrote back the following:
I would love to meet you at the Starving Artist Cafe on Main Street in the “Argenta District” of North Little Rock. I can meet you on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday next week. On second thought, can we have dinner at the Starving Artist next Tuesday evening, 6/28?
The owner of the restaurant, Paula Morell, produces a nationally syndicated weekly radio show (NPR) called “Tales from the South“. She records the show at the restaurant every Tuesday evening. Those with dinner reservations get to be in the live audience for the show. There is live music as well as southerners telling interesting stories. It’s lots of fun. Let me know if you can/would like to do this and I will make the reservations. In fact, your mom and Mike might like to join us. Whadda ya think?
Excited to be seeing you again,
J
Is that not the coolest? This is my first time not to make a detailed plan for how my friends and I will see one another. I’m just throwing these emails out there and then seeing what comes back. Wow!
