Time to Get Dressed Up and Pretend!!
Saturday night, Leah and I will be attending the Orpheum Theatre's 26th Annual Gala, which is a fundraiser for the beautiful landmark in downtown Memphis. Before you go thinking that the purchase of 2 $75 tickets must indicate a life of reasonable affluence, please know that, uh, nevermind. Think what you wish.
My company donates autographed memorabilia (movie posters, set items, etc) to the event, so I'm guessing that's why the tickets were made available. Nevertheless, we're looking forward to schmoozing with people much richer than we'll ever be, and who, if you don't believe how important/cultured/refined/snooty they are, will happily engage you conversation asserting so if you only ask. And if you wanna see their Jaguar/Mercedes/Hummer, it's probably parked outside, taking up 3 spaces. But hey, it might land us in "Snob Illustrated" aka RSVP Magazine, the local "anybody's who's anybody is at the parties that really matter" publication.
The funny thing about this is that recently, Leah said, "I'm ready go to another event where we get dressed up and stuff." Being that our weekend night attire rarely exceeds casual (hey, El Porton and Buffalo Wild Wings are for the common people!), we'll definitely be out of our element. But we'll try our hardest to pretend......you know, hold the wine glass the right way, dab the corner of our mouth with the small little napkin, and eat the quarter-sized quiche in 4 bites instead of one.
