When: Saturday, June 4
What: Sketch turns 30
Where: London, England

I'm renting out pub (capacity ~150) in the City, London's financial district, and doing the mother of karaoke jams. My friend working it has 10000+ songs in her rig. This promises to be insane.

If you're planning a trip to Europe this summer, keep it in mind. It's the Saturday after Memorial Day, so you can leverage the vacation days easily. From the sounds of it, the main challenge will be finding cheap airfare. If this is even in the realm of possibility for you, let me know.

All rumors of a joint 30th party with voluptuous Oscar-winning actors will be denied.

Is there any possibility of this being webcast?

Do you REALLY want to spend a Saturday afternoon watching me sing "Fuck Her Gently" to some fine English ladies (while also in front of my parents)?

That being said, webcasting is a solid idea.

Can't make it man. Got a thing.

I'd be there if it weren't for the whole atlantic ocean thing.

Not only do I want to spend a Saturday afternoon watching this, I want it on DVD for repeated future viewings.

My announcement involves no ocean crossing, so you won't be able to use that excuse on me, Ben.

I suppose I could come but I hate karioke. Call me old fashioned if you will but singing is for the shower, pubs are for drinking.

Doesn't mean you can't have a shower beer every once in a while.

Well enough for me to stay for a while. I'm definitely up for a rendezvous when you visit. Keep me posted on your plans, Shawn.

Alas Erasure is playing here in Boston the night before and I must go. and then this is this very minor event happening the next weekend that I need to be in town for (aka our wedding)

Yeah, that's probably a good idea, Kerry. oh, I've got a family thing in RI late July, so I'm pondering Boston and/or NYC visit. Details on that later...
