just took a quick peek at your page,
Tragically Hip eh, let me guess, you're Canadian?
could you get them to play for the party?
From a fellow fan and animal lover.

I'm very sure they'd be honoured to play. They're touring Europe about then. Yes, I'm canadian. There's a very cool bus ride going to Vegas from Niagara Falls. We're hoping to get there for h2g2"s birthday. We're going by way of a farm. Would you be interested? It's free.

Interested? Of course. Clever cat.
Listening right now to the new Oasis album.
Sometimes I got to ask, what is real?

reminds me of the Velveteen Rabbit ....my better half asked me that same question so i popped out when he wasn't looking and purchased the book for him, i think it was reading this story that i ever saw him cry...
what is Real??.....
Real isn't how you are made, it's a thing that happens to you. when a child loves you for a long long time, not just to play with, but REALLY love you, then you become Real.
does it hurt? sometimes, when you are Real you don't mind being hurt. does it happen all at once, like being wound up? or bit by bit?
it doesn't happen all at once, you become. it takes a long time. that's why it doesn't often happen to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. generally by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby . but these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand. ....

Thanks, I needed that.

monsy always knows what everyone needs. She is the epitome of REAL. She also makes the best you ever had.

Here's the address for the bus ride:

OOOPS. I'll be right back with that address.

You are all doing sterling work!!

It is now only three days til the virtual party (yippee!) and many thanks to all
those of you who have helped us prepare but now we need your help. I am about to
build the virtual party page and we want you to build pages that we can link to
it. I am going to build a greenhouse because that is where I am usually found
at parties (don't ask!). Please can you think of a room suitable for the party, build it
and give me the URL and I will advertise it on the Virtual Party Page! We need a
kitchen, a bar, disco....... we leave it up to you!
