Journal Entry: March 24, 2002
My birthday was the 20th and we had a party. Lots of people came and I got many nice gifts. But nobody bought me one of these, unfortunately. I had heard they were going to make Minis for sale in the US again, but I forgot about it until I saw a billboard along I-25 last night that said “THE SUV BACKLASH STARTS NOW”. That’s one of their many marketing slogans. It was particularly interesting to me, since I once owned the domain name suvbacklash.org and suvbacklash.com. When I got home, I went to check out the Mini USA website and then checked the domain registration for suvbacklash.com. Turns out that nobody else has picked it up since I let my registration lapse after I shut down the site. So, I registered it. Again. Maybe there is going to be an SUV backlash after all. Of course, you wouldn’t know it from the actions of our Congress, who just voted to cancel the improvements to the CAFE standards.
This past month, 404 Not Found has been rehearsing lots and we started our Spring 2002 performance series.
Also, the wedding planning has been coming along. We now have:
- a date and time - 6 PM September 1, 2002
- a location - Boulder Theater
- an officiant - Gail Boex
- a caterer - A Spice of Life and Erika from Sushi Zanmai
- a DJ - A Music Plus
- rings - seen here
- a guest list - lots of folks
- invitations - printed up and sitting in a box
And I even started a wedding web page.
