Do you ever get the offer of something really amazing, at too short notice, and can't make it? Frustratin', innit.

    I was offered an invite to Rock Band & Guitar Hero party on Friday night....but only at 4:45 (on the same day), and we already had company coming over.

    :-(

    EDIT: My invitation was not nearly as monumental as yours.

    I had to turn down an offer for sex from a very pretty lady because I was with my second wife attending a wedding reception.

    I chose the right course, of course. :D
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Tried everything. Oh well. It was great to be asked.

    Damn!!! Too bad.

    Not as great as your offer but my boss always asks me if I can use sporting tix to a baseball game or basket ball game on the morning of the event. Obviously, I was not the 1st choice to be offered them!!!! :p
    So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me

    AGAIN!!!

    not that it is awesome to see the Clippers play but my boss offers me tix for TONIGHT's game---great seats apparently--but I cannot make it. GGrrr.

    I just checked the online, realtime flyer for the gig, and where it said Anna Dylan, it now says tbc. So maybe I didn't miss out, after all. Never mind. I played a little impromptu half-hour set in Cambridge, and soon forgot. :)

    Happens all the time, thanks to this life of hustle and bustle that I lead...

    or something.

    Album is cracking by the way Richard. Nice job

    I thought this thread was about Danny De Vito holding up a sign saying "closed in 15 minutes"
