Hey ita, I'm watching Corwin's Quest on Animal Planet and he's in Kenya. The country is so beautiful.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's like reading reviews of movies you've already seen ... validation seeking? Wallowing in things that haven't even had time to become nostalgia yet? Dunno.
But thanks for the heads up, Eddie.

erika, HAH. Some of the touristy-famous places are in iffy neighborhood. Like the Babe Ruth museum.
I know the station does simulcasting over the web (I don't know about podcasting. Oh, they do for select stuff: [link] ) You'd probably like this show. It's pretty much random stories from around the area. It runs at 7 pm eastern on friday on WYPR .

So I have an etiquette question.
What do you do when you get invited to a big party at someone's house, and when you check the Evite for the directions, you realize that at the bottom it says, "$10 at the door".
t is boggled

Erm, unless you really really really want to go, you decline respectfully. And make appropriately aghast faces as you click the submit button.

You realize you've been invited to an impromptu restaurant/club opening and decide you're not in the mood to patronize a commercial establishment.

Either you go and pay, or you don't go. Cash parties happen.

Really? I'll admit that I'm rather unpartied. I'm familiar with cover at clubs or bars or whatever. And I've been to one where the hostess decided at the last minute to raise money for charity, but that was fairly good natured amongst close friends sorta thing (her sister had recently required the services of a womens shelter, and the "fee" was to support its mission) but... I dunno. I suspect it is a remnant of my midwestern roots, wherein you do not mix money and hosting. Hell, you don't mix money and ANYTHING.
And yet, I do not blink at the idea of potluck or byob. That was a staple of my upbringing, and I have to do a momentary adjustment when I'm NOT bringing a bottle or a dish. So I really can't point or anything.
