Hear Ye!

There's only a few days left to book hotel rooms in our blocks! Sept 29 for the Austin Motel and Oct 1 for the Radisson.

Details here.

CORRECTION: Apparently, the Radisson block is still open, as long as they have plenty of availability in the hotel.

Takes the Cake

Eliza's been talking this thing up for months. Well, today it finally arrived and it's every bit as great as she said it would be. Fortunately, they didn't build Ben's giant head to scale, so it should be able to stand atop the cake without tipping over.

Last One!

A couple of weeks ago, we flew back to our old stomping grounds in Atlanta for one last engagement party. This one was a tag-team effort, hosted by Eliza's sister Margaret and brother-in-law Matt, and Ben's friends Matt & Laura and Rebekah & Joel. Rebekah and Joel were generous enough to host the party at their new and beautiful house in Decatur (or Deck-a-tore, as our friend Mike says).

Rebekah and Joel also have a very cute little boy named James who loves to eat ice! And there's nothing he loves more than a cool ice buffet. Feels cool, tastes delicious! Work it, James.

Unfortunately, Ben didn't take any more pictures until the very end of the night, when he bum-rushed the late-night crowd with a series of unwelcome overhead shots on the way out.

Lauren's getting tired...
Eliza waves goodbye to her fans.

After we returned home to Matt and Margaret's house, Eliza was delighted to find a gift certificate for a brand new puppy inside this card. OK, not really, but isn't that how it looks? The girl likes cards. What can you say?Thanks to all of our Atlanta friends for coming to wish us well! And especially to all of the party planners who made it happen. See you in Austin!

Invitations

Despite the appearance of the envelope pictured below, you won't find the latest Unabomber manifesto inside. It's actually our wedding invitation.

Yes, we finally sent our invitations. They were designed by our friend Jeff Moore. But Eliza added a nice touch, too. She stamped all of the addresses by hand. And she even invited Ben.
