Daryl looked toward the door and saw Julie stomping into the Rock Bottom 
and leaned back and signaled the waiter for two more wheat-beer boilermakers.

"Damn" said Julie, hooking back a chair with the toe of her Doc and 
plopping into it.  "Ah, a wheat-beer boilermaker, how did you know I 
needed this?"

"Someone is not using her indoor voice", said Daryl.  "What's up?"

"Wadda day" said Julie.  "I'm walking down 16th street minding my own
business and this homeless guy lying on the street tugs my skirt.  "Hey
Lady" he says "Don't go to the Senate on Sunday" and something about
the "ice of Mark".  I'm like "Who's Mark?".  And I mean, right, like I
want to be going to the senate when I can just watch C-SPAN."

"Not to mention they'd probably just ask you about Monica" said Daryl,
"Especially after you..."

"Hello, can we not go into that again, please" said Julie.   

"Well, anyhow, if you're going to to be superstitious and hide at home 
from Mark next Sunday we'll need to have a party next Friday.  
That way you'll at least have the excuse of a hangover."

"OK" said Julie.  "As long as there are boilermakers".

"Beware the Ice of Mark" Dinner Party
Friday the 13th of March, 8pm
Dan Jurafsky's 
The Yellow Brick House
1061 Ninth Street
786-8529

Dinner will be provided, and is likely to at least partially involve
gumbo since they went and had Mardi Gras without me. Friends, drinks 
(not necessarily alcoholic), desserts, and/or dance tapes always appreciated.

(from Broadway turn left (uphill) (west) on College, then turn left at
Ninth by the Cemetary, the Yellow Brick House is the fifth house on the right,
The doorway is on the LEFT.)

The party is *next* weekend.  For time of you with time to burn
this weekend, I recommend the Colorado Symphony Orchestra's performance 
of the Berlioz Requiem in Denver (Marin Alsop (!!) conducting)
Friday and Saturday nites and Sunday matinee.

Martias Idus proferretur."

not past the Ides.]
