oh this is funny

hanks for the heads up

The following is a sort of transcript of the aftermath of a conversation I had with my friend Kelly. Our friend Amber was back in town for a few days and we thought it would be nice to eat outside for her. Kelly offered to email the three other people we wanted to invite and I thought it might be funny/taken seriously if I sent text messages to those same people (all of whom live with or are seriously dating Kelly) about the email. In the end, I did think it was funny.

grill?

Kelly to
me, Jeremy, Jennifer, Jim

Hello house + Colin + Jim. Do we want to grill tonight while amber is out with her co-workers? We can do drinks with her when she gets back? I would be willing to pick up some burgers and buns if you guys want to come up with some chips or side dishes to complement.

Maybe 6:30? Jen or Jeremy, do we have coals still? I haven't grilled yet this year.

Let us know if we're on!
Kelly
