Amber's Going on a Date!!!

Last night, our good friend Tim Kavanagh (he rangled us for the Miss Relay Contest, allowed us to model flannel, helped us shop for Drag Ball, and promoted Slingbacks & Syrup, all before his Late Night Saturday show went off the air) called and asked if I would do him a favor.  After all he's done for us, of course I had to say, "Of course."

Tim is a regular guest on a a local radio (Champ 101.3) program called "Rich and Mary's Morning Mess."  Apparently there had been a bet and Rich (longtime Burlington radio guy and field announcer for the Vermont Lake Monsters) Haskell lost.  And, it appears that Rich is a loser in other aspects of his life as he hasn't had a date in a long, long, long time.   For losing the bet, Rich had to go on a date with someone chosen by the rest of the Mess.  For two hours, those interested in going out with Rich were encouraged to call in.  For a little bribe incentive, $100 was offered to the one to be chosen.  By the time I called in, an hour into the contest, they had increased the bribe prize to $225.  Rich and I had a pleasant conversation and I answered some very personal questions from the rest of the Mess.  By 8:30 the pot was up to $250 and of the 6 or so callers, I was selected to go out with Rich. 

So, next Monday (11/9/9) we'll be having dinner on Church Street.  Mary will be along to capture the event on film.  Mmm... what to wear, what to wear.
